Say goodbye to excessive underarm sweat, odor, and the constant need for deodorant with miraDry®, the leading non-surgical treatment for lasting sweat reduction. Using advanced, FDA-cleared technology, miraDry® delivers controlled energy to the sweat and odor glands under the arms—permanently reducing their activity in as little as one treatment.
WHAT IS MIRADRY?
miraDry® is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that provides a lasting solution to underarm sweat and odor.

The result is immediate, noticeable, and permanent sweat reduction after just one session, with most patients enjoying long-term freedom from deodorant, stains, and the discomfort of excessive sweating.
At Capizzi MD, we have been offering miraDry for over 7 years to our patients as a great alternative to non-permanent options such as prescription-strength antiperspirants, Botox injections for hyperhidrosis, or oral medications.

FAQ
What is miraDry®?
miraDry® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that permanently reduces underarm sweat, odor, and hair. By using thermal energy, miraDry® targets and eliminates sweat glands in the underarms, giving patients lasting relief from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
How does miraDry® work?
The miraDry® system uses microwave energy to safely heat and eliminate sweat and odor glands under the skin. Once treated, the glands do not regenerate, which means results are long-lasting. Most patients notice an immediate and significant reduction in sweating after just one treatment.
Is miraDry® safe?
Yes. miraDry® is FDA-cleared and has been performed worldwide on thousands of patients (and over hundreds of patients at Capizzi MD alone). While sweat glands are permanently eliminated in the underarms, the body still regulates temperature normally through the remaining sweat glands located elsewhere.
What results can I expect?
You can expect immediate and lasting results. Once the miraDry® treatment eliminates the glands, they’re gone for good. The treatment is clinically proven to reduce sweat by an average of 82%. As with any aesthetic treatment results, patient results and experience may vary.
How many miraDry® treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with just one miraDry® treatment. However, depending on your individual needs and the severity of hyperhidrosis, a second session may be recommended for maximum sweat and odor reduction.
Does miraDry® help with odor and hair too?
Yes! In addition to reducing sweat, miraDry® also decreases underarm odor and can provide a noticeable reduction in underarm hair (both light and dark). Patients often enjoy fresher, drier underarms without the need for deodorant.
What is the recovery like after miraDry®?
Recovery is minimal. Most patients experience swelling, tenderness, or numbness in the underarms for a few days. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication usually provide relief. You can typically return to work and normal daily activities immediately, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for several days.
Who is a good candidate for miraDry®?
miraDry® is ideal for men and women in Charlotte who struggle with excessive underarm sweating, are frustrated with deodorant or prescription antiperspirants, or want a long-lasting solution for hyperhidrosis. It’s also a great option for patients who want freedom from odor and hair reduction.
How long do miraDry® results last?
Because sweat glands do not regenerate, miraDry® results are permanent. Once those glands are eliminated, they’re gone for good. Patients enjoy a lifetime of drier, fresher underarms.
How does miraDry® compare to Botox® for sweating?
Botox® can temporarily reduce sweating by blocking nerve signals to the sweat glands. However, the results last only 3–6 months and require repeat treatments. miraDry®, on the other hand, is a one-time solution that permanently eliminates sweat glands in the underarms.
