miraDry

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be embarrassing and affect your quality of life. Many men and women who suffer from this condition are seeking a safe and effective solution. At Alta Vista Dermatology, we provide miraDry, which is an FDA-approved, clinically proven treatment that can significantly reduce underarm sweating. We perform the non-surgical procedure in our Highlands Ranch, CO office.

MiraDry delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy that eliminates the underarm sweat glands. Patients have enjoyed a lasting reduction of underarm sweating after an initial treatment. We typically recommend two treatments three months apart to achieve optimal results. A treatment session usually lasts about an hour. In addition to reducing underarm sweating, secondary effects of treatment include a reduction in underarm hair and odor.

One to three percent of people suffer from hyperhidrosis, which usually begins during the adolescent or young adult years. It is worst on the palms, soles, and underarms. Studies show people who suffer from hyperhidrosis are no more nervous or easily upset than people who sweat normally. However, they are often embarrassed by the condition. Studies show one-third of people who suffer from hyperhidrosis say it significantly affects their quality of life. They may have to frequently change their clothes or buy new clothes due to underarm sweating and sweat stains. They may avoid shaking hands and miss social gatherings due to excessive sweating. Hyperhidrosis can make it difficult to hold a pen or pencil and it can affect romantic relationships. Despite the negative impact hyperhidrosis can have, most people never seek treatment. After learning to live with excessive sweating, they often do not know it is treatable.

If you suffer from excessive sweating, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our board-certified dermatologists. The doctor will perform an examination and review your medical history to determine the right treatment for you.
