(HealthNewsDigest.com) – For millions of Americans, excessive underarm sweating (the medical term is axillary hyperhidrosis) is a daily struggle that can interfere with nearly every aspect of life. Whether it’s anxiety at work, embarrassment in relationships and social settings, or frustration over constantly ruining clothes, excessive sweating can have devastating effects on a person’s emotional well-being and self-image. A new procedure called miraDRY, quick non-invasive procedure that provides a lasting solution for excessive underarm sweating, is now making sweat a thing of the past. The miraDry(R) system was recently cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration after a reporting safety and efficacy data from a randomized, blinded clinical study where 120 patients at seven clinics across the U.S. were treated and followed for 12 months after treatment. The clinical data shows 90% efficacy and 90% patient satisfaction. “One out of 5 persons has an issue with underarm sweat and the miraDry(R) process offers lasting results for our patients so that excessive sweating does not intervene with their every day lives,” says Dr. New York board certified dermatologist Dr. Cameron Rokhsar. Dr. Rokhsar is among the first in the New York area to offer this procedure.
The miraDry procedure does not involve surgical incisions or cuts. The procedure non-invasively delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to the region where the sweat glands reside, and eliminates the sweat glands. Because the sweat glands do not regenerate after treatment, you should see a dramatic and lasting reduction of underarm sweat. The outpatient procedure is performed in the physician’s office. Dr. Rokhsar customizes treatment for each underarm area with multiple placements of the miraDry Handpiece, delivering electromagnetic energy to the underarm.
Some available therapies, including over-the-counter and prescription antiperspirants or toxins, aim to temporarily disable the sweat glands for various durations – requiring repeat treatments to maintain effectiveness. Other options involve surgery, which contain inherent risks.
Benefits of miraDry Procedure
ü Dramatic reduction of underarm sweat
ü Lasting results
ü Non-invasive (no surgical incisions or cuts)
ü Minimal to no downtime
ü Performed in the physician’s office
The miraDry(R) System is a non- invasive in-office procedure that uses localized heat to eliminate the sweat glands under the arms:
During the procedure, which takes about an hour, precisely controlled electromagnetic energy is delivered under the arm.
The heat generated from the energy eliminates the sweat glands.
Sweat glands don’t regenerate, so results are long-lasting.
