Excessive Sweating – A Medical Condition
Sweating is a natural function of the body and is essential to controlling your body temperature. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin is naturally cooled.
Sweat consists primarily of water with a small amount of salt and is produced by the sweat glands. Your body has between 2 and 4 million sweat glands, however, only 2% of those are located in the underarm area.
If you find yourself suffering from excessive sweat and odor under your arms, you may be one of 950,000 Canadians who suffer from a condition called hyperhidrosis. The actual cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, however, it seems to be related to the https://yourderm.ca/contact-us/
Unfortunately, most people who suffer from excessive sweating never seek the help of a health care professional mainly because they are unaware that they have a medical condition, they do not know treatment is available, or are they embarrassed to discuss it openly.
The miraDry Solution – Permanent, Immediate, and Non-Surgical
miraDry is a revolutionary, non-surgical procedure that is clinically proven to reduce underarm sweat and the associated odor after one or two treatments. Clinical studies have shown an 82% reduction in sweat and an 89% reduction in odor. Most patients experience results immediately after the first treatment, and because the sweat glands are destroyed in the process, the results remain permanent.
The miraDry treatment has been performed over 140,000 times worldwide, and we at the YourDerm.ca Laser and Esthetics clinic have helped thousands of patients overcome the embarrassing problem of excessive sweating.
What Is The miraDry Procedure?
The miraDry procedure is a quick and easy treatment that is performed by one of our highly trained miraDry specialists in the comfort of the YouDerm.ca clinic. Initially, the underarm area is numbed using a local anesthetic.
After the skin has sufficiently been numbed, the miraDry specialist places a handheld device on the area to be treated and activates light suction. The suction process lifts the sweat glands closer to the surface of the skin, and thermal energy is delivered, heating and destroying the sweat glands. Simultaneously, the skin is cooled providing a painless, comfortable experience.
The sweat glands are permanently destroyed and will never grow back. There are no health risks related to the elimination of sweat glands as the number of sweat glands in the armpits, is very small in comparison to the total number within the body. Therefore, this minor loss of sweat glands has no significant effect on the ability of the body to properly cool itself.
Treatment sessions are generally 60 minutes in length, and due to the local anesthetic used to numb the area, patients typically report no pain or discomfort during the procedure.
The miraDry 3 In 1 Bonus – Sweat, Odour, And Hair Removal
The miraDry procedure was originally developed to destroy the sweat glands which cause excessive sweating. However, miraDry treatments have also been proven to destroy the apocrine glands, the scent glands which are responsible for body odor.
Although the miraDry is not meant to replace our laser hair removal treatments, the procedure will also destroy hair follicles, providing removal of hair in the underarm area. Because the miraDry technology does not rely on a contrast between skin and hair color to work, it delivers results for any skin or hair color combination.
Is There A Recovery Period?
Most patients resume regular activity and a normal lifestyle immediately, however, we recommend refraining from strenuous exercise for several days. We also suggest using ice for 24 – 48 hours after the procedure in order to reduce swelling.
Numbness, bruising, and sensitivity may also occur in the underarm area for a number of days, however, it will subside within a few weeks. Some patients have short-term altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms, which gradually disappears.
