FOR WHO IS THE MIRADRY TREATMENT?
Do you suffer from excessive underarm sweating? Do you use antiperspirant several times a day? Does it frustrate you that you always have yellow stains on your t-shirts, which you can not wash out?
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a medical condition where the sweating exceeds the normal amount required to maintain body temperature. It is a condition that affects many people and can have negative effects on your emotional well-being and self image.
But also people who are not suffering from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), sometimes wish to undergo a treatment against unwanted or uncontrolled sweating to obtain more comfort in everyday life:
-
no need to use (sometimes harmful) deodorants anymore
-
no longer irritated skin when using deodorants
-
avoiding stress-sweat in the professional life
-
less dry clean expenses
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The miraDry procedure is fast, non-invasive and is performed under medical supervision.
The device releases precisely dosed thermal energy to create heat in the area where the troublesome axillary sweat glands are located, and eliminates the sweat glands non-invasively. Because the sweat glands do not come back after treatment, the results are permanent. And results are fast; you can expect sweat reduction immediately, with minimal to no recovery time.
SWEAT-FREE IN 3 STEPS:
#1 ANESTHETIZE
Prior to the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to the armpits by the Plastic Surgeon.
#2 MARK
Then a temporary adhesive tattoo is placed on the armpit.
#3 TREAT
The treatment itself is done under medical supervision in which each axillary area, custom-made, with multiple placements of the miraDry handpiece, is vacuum-drawn, releasing the thermal energy that shrivels the sweat and odor glands. Throughout the procedure, the system cools your skin to protect it and make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Your treatment takes about 1h30 to 2h.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
You will see results immediately after 1 treatment.
In more than 80%, 1 treatment is sufficient, but experiences and results may vary per patient.
If desired, a 2nd treatment can be carried out at a reduced rate after at least 3 months of waiting time.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
You can expect immediate and lasting results. Once the miraDry treatment has removed the sweat glands, they are gone forever.
Most patients report a huge reduction in sweat. The treatment is clinically proven and leads to an average sweat reduction of 82%.
So you should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after the treatment.
As with any medical procedure, results and experiences can vary from patient to patient.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
There will be some localized pain or swelling, which usually disappears within a few weeks. Some patients have a short-term altered sensation in the skin of their armpits or upper arms, which gradually disappears.
IS IT SAFE?
- MiraDry uses the only non-invasive technology approved by the FDA that has been clinically proven to greatly reduce sweat with lasting results.
- MiraDry has already been used in 155,000 treatments worldwide with excellent safety reporting.
- Dr Nelissen has been performing the MiraDry treatment, as one of the first in Belgium, for more than 7 years.

FAQ MIRADRY
Don't I need the sweat glands?
Your body needs sweat glands to cool itself and contains 2-4 million sweat glands. Only 2% of them are in your armpits. Removal of 2% sweat glands does not affect your body's ability to cool down. After MiraDry you will experience the many benefits of reducing sweat in the armpits but you will continue to sweat in other parts of your body.
Is there pain or recovery time?
Most patients describe the procedure as painless with little or no recovery time. Local anesthesia is administered to the armpits prior to treatment for patient comfort. Most patients resume their normal activities immediately. You may experience swelling, numbness, bruising and tenderness in the armpit area for several days. Our team remains available for any questions after the treatment.

= a TEMPORARY solution against excessive/unwanted sweating.

The treatment takes only a few minutes and the result lasts on average 6 to 9 months.
Price: muscle relaxing treatment – Both armpits dry: € 500 (treatment without sedation / general anaesthesia)
