Perspiration is a natural phenomenon. Everyone copes with heatwaves or the effects of intensive workouts in their own way! However, excessive sweating can lead to unpleasant, even highly embarrassing odours. The Miradry solution targets the sweat glands responsible for the odour and eliminates them permanently.
Where does sweating come from ?
Composed of 99% water, minerals, antibodies, vitamin C, urea, ammonia, uric acid, and lactic acid (which attracts mosquitoes), this is what our sweat reportedly contains. This phenomenon appears during adolescence, activating our sweat glands (which secrete sweat), particularly in the underarms. We unknowingly eliminate about a litre of sweat per day. Temperature is essential for thermoregulating our body at an average of 37 degrees. It also helps remove metabolic waste. Thus, when sweat evaporates through the skin's pores, heat is released, and temperature decreases.
The sweat secreted is naturally odourless. Other glands (apocrine) produce a milky sweat that creates a distinct smell when it comes into contact with the bacteria present on the skin. Aside from the excessively pronounced sweating known as “hyperhidrosis”, it is possible to mask the odour of sweat, particularly with deodorants or antiperspirants, which are not always favoured for various reasons. Generally, some individuals resort to multiple showers, wipes, or adapt their clothing. But what if we focused more specifically on the internal reasons that boost this sweating?
Why choose the Miradry treatment ?
Depending on the challenges life throws at us, we face varying phases of stress. Our bodies react differently from person to person: sweating on the back, blushing, and indeed excessive sweating. In certain cases, this is referred to as pathological hyperhidrosis. It involves 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 armpits that can sometimes pose a genuine social handicap due to the visible marks it leaves and the foul odour it emits!
For several years, the Miradry solution has proven effective in the United States. This device targets the sweat glands responsible for unpleasant odours and permanently eliminates them. It reduces sweating and smells by 80% and can even decrease hair growth by 70% from the very first session.
Through a mechanism of ultra-short waves, Miradry eliminates the sweat glands (apocrine and eccrine) that generate this bothersome odour. This removal has no consequences since our body contains between 2 to 4 million sweat glands, of which 2% to 3% are located under the armpits. No more odour, no more sweating, and no more hair! This is the goal of this medical device. Sessions occur in an aesthetic practice under the supervision of a physician. The underarms must be cleaned two to three days prior to starting the process. The doctor administers local anaesthesia for the patient's comfort before commencing the procedure. They then 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 doctor applies ice packs under the armpits to reduce swelling or redness in the treated area.
Enjoy summer with your arms up in any situation!
