As summer approaches, many people find themselves battling increased underarm and odor. Even when it’s not visible, the discomfort and self-consciousness it causes can be both real and persistent. Fortunately, there’s a lasting solution - miraDry fresh.
Designed to target the source of sweat and odor, miraDry fresh helps you stay dry, fresh, and confident all season long.
Ever Had an Embarrassing Sweat Moment?
Have you ever avoided wearing gray shirts because of sweat stains? Had to change clothes multiple times a day? Maybe you've given up on wearing tight or light-colored clothing out of fear that sweat marks would show.

If you work in a group environment or meet clients frequently, sweat and odor can become a serious source of psychological stress. During exercise or outdoor activities in hot weather, it can lead to discomfort, even making taking photos stressful.
It’s time to break free from the stress of underarm sweat and odor.
What Exactly Is miraDry fresh?
miraDry fresh is a non-surgical procedure designed to reduce both sweat and odor, specifically targeting axillary hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis. It uses microwave energy to eliminate the sweat glands and odor-producing apocrine and eccrine glands in the underarm area.
miraDry was U.S. FDA cleared in 2011 for the treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis and has since gained FDA clearance for odor reduction and hair removal benefits as well.
The fresh version of miraDry features an upgraded protocol, allowing for shorter procedure time and delivering effective results even after a single session.
How Does It Work?
When microwave energy is applied to the treatment area, a heat zone of approximately 60–70°C is formed at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat. This is the layer where sweat and odor glands are most concentrated, making it an ideal target for effective destruction.
Don’t worry about burns — the upper skin layers are cooled simultaneously, ensuring safe and comfortable treatment. The depth and location of energy delivery are precisely controlled, resulting in predictable and safe outcomes. The biggest benefit? Long-lasting results without surgical excision.
What Is the Treatment Process Like?
Marking the Treatment Area
The target area is customized based on hair distribution and the concentration of sweat glands.
Local Anesthesia
Small doses of anesthetic are administered to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
Precise Mapping
A standardized grid (e.g., 1, 1B, 2A, 2B) is used to ensure no area is missed or overlapped. The miraDry biotip moves along this map for even and complete coverage.
Treatment Execution
The procedure is performed one side at a time. After both underarms are treated, an ointment is applied and post-care begins before you are discharged.
What About Recovery?
One of miraDry fresh’s biggest advantages is minimal downtime. You can shower the next day, and return to regular daily activities almost immediately.
However, intense physical activity (like weight training or vigorous sports) should be avoided for 3–4 days. If you’ve had prior underarm surgery, your medical history will be reviewed to determine eligibility for treatment.
Does It Really Work?
miraDry fresh is a clinically proven device. Many patients notice a reduction in sweat immediately after the procedure, and most are satisfied after just one session.
The odor reduction becomes more noticeable over time, and hair reduction is an added bonus. Since it works by permanently destroying sweat glands, the results are long-lasting and sustainable.
