Perspiration is a natural phenomenon. Everyone copes with periods of heat or the effects of dynamic workouts in their own way! However, excessive sweating can lead to unpleasant, and even very embarrassing odours. The Miradry solution targets the sweat glands responsible for the unpleasant smell and eliminates them permanently.
Where does perspiration come from ?
Composed of 99% water, minerals, antibodies, vitamin C, urea, ammonia, uric acid, and lactic acid (which attracts mosquitoes), this is what our perspiration contains. It is a phenomenon that appears during adolescence. Our sweat glands (which secrete sweat) become active, particularly in the underarm area. We expel a litre of sweat a day without even realising it. Temperature is essential for maintaining our body's thermoregulation at an average of 37 degrees. It also helps eliminate metabolic waste. Thus, when sweat evaporates through the skin's pores, heat is dissipated, and temperature decreases.
The sweat secreted is naturally odourless. Other glands (apocrine) produce a milky sweat that creates a specific smell when it comes into contact with the bacteria on the skin. Apart from hyper excessive sweating known as "hyperhidrosis," it is possible to mask the odour of perspiration. This can be achieved using deodorants or antiperspirants, which are not always favoured for various reasons. Generally, some people take multiple showers, use wipes, or adapt their clothing. But what if we looked more specifically at the internal reasons that boost this sweating.
Why opt for the Miradry treatment ?
Depending on the challenges life presents us, we face varying levels of stress. Our bodies react differently from person to person: sweating on the back, flushing, and also excessive sweating. To qualify this latter phenomenon, it is sometimes referred to as pathological hyperhidrosis. This refers to an exaggeration of sweating localized in specific areas of the body such as the underarms, palms, forehead, and sometimes even other parts of the body. It is particularly the sweating found under the arms that can pose a real social handicap due to the visible marks it leaves and the unpleasant smell it emits!
For several years, the Miradry solution has proven its effectiveness in the United States. This device allows for the targeting of sweat glands that are responsible for the unpleasant odour and eliminates them permanently. It reduces perspiration and odour by 80% and can even diminish hair growth by 70% from the very first session.
Through a mechanism of ultra-short waves, Miradry tackles the sweat glands (apocrine and eccrine) that generate this distressing odour. The elimination has no negative consequences since our body contains between 2 and 4 million sweat glands, with 2% to 3% located under the arms. No more odour, no more perspiration, and no more hair! That is the objective set by this medical device. The sessions take place in an aesthetic clinic in the presence of a physician. The underarms must be cleaned two to three days before the beginning of the process. The doctor administers a local anaesthetic for the patient's comfort and then starts the procedure. They heat and cool the sweat glands using the Miradry device, which penetrates 4mm to 5mm, sufficient to reach and destroy the glands. At the end of the session, the physician applies ice packs under the arms to reduce swelling or redness in the treated area.
Get ready for summer with your arms in the air, come what may!
