    As a plastic surgeon, I can tell you that the time it takes for miraDry to work can vary from person to person. MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment that uses microwave energy to eliminate underarm sweat glands. The treatment is usually performed in one session and can provide long-lasting results. During the miraDry treatment, a microwave device is placed under the arms, and microwave energy is used to destroy the sweat glands. This process can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the individual's response to the treatment. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are typically mild and should subside within a few days. In most cases, you can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. It is important to note that the full results of the miraDry treatment may not be immediately apparent. It can take several weeks or even months for the sweat glands to fully atrophy and for the effects of the treatment to become noticeable. During this time, it is common to experience a reduction in sweating, but you may still notice some residual sweating. To achieve the best results with miraDry, it is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor. This may include avoiding strenuous activities, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding using deodorants or antiperspirants for a few days after the treatment. It is also important to have realistic expectations about the results of the miraDry treatment. While it can significantly reduce underarm sweating, it may not completely eliminate it. In some cases, additional treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. In conclusion, the time it takes for miraDry to work in Cape Breton can vary, but typically you can expect to see some improvement within a few weeks to a few months after the treatment. It is essential to follow your doctor's instructions and have realistic expectations to ensure the best results.
