miraDry® in Chicago, IL

Underarm sweating while you are exercising or nervous is normal, but excessive perspiration that stains your clothes and triggers an embarrassing odor is a medical condition known as hyperhidrosis. Elysium SurgiSpa provides assistance with excessive underarm perspiration with the miraDry system. miraDry from Miramar Labs is FDA approved to safely, noninvasively target and destroy perspiration and odor glands from the underarm area. Since you have roughly two million sweat glands spread throughout your body with around only 2% in the armpits, you can most definitely do without these. You'll probably enjoy your active lifestyle even more without worrying about wet marks, stickiness, deodorant streaks, and powerful odors. Contact our office in Chicago, IL to learn more.

Treating excessive underarm sweating with miraDry offers patients a range of potentially life-changing benefits. With miraDry treatment for hyperhidrosis, patients can enjoy:

• Quick, convenient treatment that can be performed in minutes
• Up to 80% or more reduction in underarm sweating
• Less body odor
• Fewer underarm stains
• Boosted confidence and self-esteem
• Eliminate the need for deodorant
• Results may be permanent

miraDry can help patients who would like to take control of the sweat and odor in their underarms. miraDry performed at Elysium SurgiSpa is a great option if you have consistent problems with excessive underarm sweat, but it can technically work for almost anyone who sweats at all. To begin your therapy, you can relax as the region is cleaned, marked, then numbed using a topical anesthetic to help you feel comfortable during your procedure. Next, the miraDry device is passed across the skin, using mild suction to pull the sweat glands nearer to the surface. The noninvasive microwave technology works on the perspiration and odor glands while the surface of your skin is kept cool. After your session, you can get back to your routine, although it's best to avoid strenuous activity for a few days. Since the sweat glands don't come back once they are destroyed, you should have long-lasting outcomes after just 1 – 2 treatments.

Excessive sweating — when is it time for help?
Excessive sweating exists when you sweat unintentionally, unexpectedly, or more than anticipated compared to stress, the surrounding temperature, or activity level. Hyperhidrosis is an actual problem that may interrupt life and incite social anxiety. When sweating starts to interfere with usual activities, it may be time to seek professional help.

Is this treatment safe?
miraDry is FDA approved as a long-lasting remedy for excessive sweating. Given that a limited amount of the sweat glands are positioned under the arm, miraDry is a dependable method of significantly diminishing sweat glands underneath your arms.

How long do the results last?
Results are typically long-lasting. When the sweat glands are eradicated after a miraDry treatment, they don't return. Thus, individuals can take advantage of the incredible alleviation of their excessive sweating.
