    MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment option for reducing underarm sweat and odor. It uses microwave energy to target and destroy the sweat glands. The healing time after a miraDry procedure can vary from person to person, but generally, patients can expect to see some improvement within a few days to a week. During the first few days after the treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, and tenderness in the underarm area. This is a normal part of the healing process and should gradually subside over time. It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to minimize discomfort and promote healing. Your surgeon may recommend using ice packs or prescribed pain medication to manage any pain or discomfort. You should also avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and excessive sweating for at least a few days to allow your skin to heal properly. In most cases, patients can return to their normal activities within a week or two after the miraDry procedure. However, full healing and the final results may take several weeks to several months. The exact healing time can be influenced by various factors such as your individual skin type, the extent of the treatment, and how well you follow the aftercare instructions. It is important to note that while miraDry is a highly effective treatment option, it may not be suitable for everyone. Your surgeon will evaluate your specific situation and medical history to determine if miraDry is the right choice for you. They will also discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure in detail to ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect. If you have any concerns or questions about the healing process or the miraDry treatment, it is best to consult with your plastic surgeon. They will be able to provide you with personalized advice and guidance based on your individual circumstances.
