How does a MiraDry treatment proceed? Step by step
Let’s take a look at how a treatment at Global Care Clinic progresses step by step!
1️⃣ Preparation
Before the treatment begins, you will first be made to feel comfortable. We take the time to discuss your wishes and any questions you may have. Then, your underarms will be carefully marked with a template. This ensures that the device can target the sweat glands with precision.
Next, the underarm area is numbed with a few small injections. Thanks to this numbing, you will feel almost nothing during the treatment.
2️⃣ The treatment itself
Once the anesthesia takes effect, the MiraDry treatment begins. The handpiece of the device is placed on the skin and gently suctions the skin inward. It then delivers targeted electromagnetic energy.
This energy heats and destroys the sweat glands, without damaging the skin. The device also has a cooling system that works simultaneously to protect your skin and keep the treatment comfortable.
👉 Duration of the treatment:
On average, the treatment takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how extensive the area being treated is.
Did you know? Sweat glands under the armpits only make up 2% of your total sweat production. So, you’ll still sweat in other areas, such as your back or face, in a healthy way.
3️⃣ After the treatment: what can you expect?
After the treatment, your underarms may feel a little swollen, red, or sensitive. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days. Many patients find that applying a cold compress (or even a bag of frozen peas 😉) works well to reduce swelling.
Most people return to work or resume their daily activities on the same day. However, it is recommended to wait a few days before resuming physical exercise.

Does the treatment hurt?
The anesthesia ensures that you feel almost nothing during the treatment. Some patients describe it as a mild warmth or a pulling sensation, but it is not painful.
After the treatment, you may experience some sensitivity or swelling, but this is temporary. Most people find it manageable and say the end result is more than worth it.
When will you see results?
The great thing about MiraDry is that you notice a difference immediately! Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in sweat and odor after just one treatment. In some cases, a second session may be needed for optimal results, but often one session is enough.
The final result is permanent: the destroyed sweat glands do not return.
