What is MiraDry?
MiraDry is the only permanent sweat reduction treatment currently available and Klnik was the first clinic in the North West to offer this FDA cleared procedure. This safely eliminates underarm sweat and odour glands which allows you to embrace every moment of life to the fullest. Whether you’re in that important business meeting or simply running errands - miraDry is the solution for sweat-free underarms. This is life changing for patients whom are suffering with Hyperhidrosis - an uncontrollable excessive sweating condition that can interfere with nearly every aspect of life. MiraDry treatment has been a huge success with our clients, whether you suffer with hyperhidrosis or you are just not happy with the amount that you sweat, now you have the perfect long-term solution. In just one treatment alone, clients on average have a reduction of sweat on the underarms by 82%!
You’ll feel immediate results in as little as one treatment and the results are clinically proven to be long-lasting and have worked well for 300,000+ patients globally. MiraDry uses electromagnetic energy which is delivered to the skin using a specially designed handpiece. The energy is carefully targeted to the area where the sweat glands are found and eliminates them. Sweat glands do not grow back, so the procedure gives a long-lasting reduction in sweat.
What happens on the day of treatment?
- Following your consultation, a medical questionnaire will be filled out which will deem whether you are suitable for treatment.
- A starch iodine test will be carried out. This will show how severe your sweating is and which area of your underarm sweating is the most persistent. This will take 20 minutes.
- Before and after pictures will also be taken following this. This will therefore allow us to compare the outcome of your treatments to ensure we reach your desired result.
- The area will then be cleansed and anaesthetic will be injected into the area. This is calculated by your under arm measurements, body mass and height. The amount of anaesthetic used often leads to the loss of arm control for the following 4+ hours so someone to drive you home is necessary.
A stencil will then be applied with strategically placed points marked out in which your treating aesthetician will follow.
- The procedure will then begin and will last around 1-2 hours depending on stencil size. This is deemed pain free and if this is not the case at any point, further anaesthetic will be administered.
- The area may feel tender and swollen for a few days post treatment however this can be managed with over the counter pain relief. A lymphatic drainage massage is also advised to remove swelling.
- We also ask that you refrain from any physical activity for a week and avoid extreme heat, including hot tubs and saunas. It is also advised to avoid deodorant and keep the area as clean as possible otherwise this could lead to infection.
- You will then be asked to attend a 3 month follow up where a starch iodine test will undergo.
