    MiraDry is a non-invasive procedure that uses microwave energy to target and destroy the sweat glands in the underarms, resulting in a significant reduction in sweating. The healing process after a miraDry treatment can vary from person to person, but generally, patients can expect to see some improvement within a few days to a week.

    In the immediate aftermath of the treatment, it is common to experience some redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area. These side effects usually subside within a few days. It is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your plastic surgeon, which may include avoiding strenuous activity, keeping the area clean and dry, and applying a prescribed ointment or cream.

    Over the next few weeks, the treated area will continue to heal and the results of the miraDry treatment will become more apparent. The full effects of the procedure may take up to several months to be noticeable, as it takes time for the body to metabolize and remove the destroyed sweat glands.

    It is important to note that the healing process can be influenced by several factors, such as individual skin sensitivity, the extent of the treatment, and post-treatment care. Some patients may experience a longer healing time or more pronounced side effects, while others may recover more quickly.

    If you have any concerns or questions about the healing process after a miraDry treatment in Ottawa, it is best to consult with your plastic surgeon. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and ensure that you are on the right track to achieving optimal results.
