Permanently reduce excess underarm sweat and odor.

miraDry is the only FDA-cleared Treatment that dramatically reduces excess underarm sweat odor and hair in as little as one appointment. miraDry uses thermal energy that targets and eliminates sweat glands in your underarm. Once those sweat glands are eliminated, they do not grow back, and your armpits stay drier. Dr. Thaxton explains the remarkable microwave technology that reduces underarm sweat on our YouTube channel.
