Permanent Relief from Underarm Sweat, Odor, and Hair
Do you avoid certain fabrics, carry backup shirts, or feel self-conscious in social situations because of underarm sweat? At Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we provide a permanent solution. miraDry® is the first and only FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment to dramatically reduce underarm sweat, odor, and hair in as little as one hour.
How miraDry Works: The Science of Dryness
miraDry uses precisely controlled thermal energy (miracrowave technology) to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm.
- The Process: The device uses a gentle vacuum to bring the glands closer to the surface. It then delivers heat to the glands while simultaneously cooling and protecting the top layer of your skin.
- The Results: Once those glands are eliminated, they do not grow back. Unlike Botox® for sweat, which requires injections every few months, miraDry is a lasting investment in your comfort and confidence.
Beyond Hyperhidrosis: Why Patients Love miraDry
While originally designed for those with clinical excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), miraDry has become a favorite “lifestyle” treatment for everyone.
- Clean & Toxin-Free: Many patients use miraDry so they can stop using chemical-heavy antiperspirants and deodorants.
- Wardrobe Freedom: Wear silk, light colors, and gray without the fear of “pit stains” or yellow deodorant marks.
- Odor Reduction: By eliminating the apocrine glands, you significantly reduce the source of underarm odor.
- Hair Reduction: As an added benefit, miraDry also permanently reduces underarm hair growth of all colors (even blonde or gray hair that lasers can’t see).

miraDry vs. Other Solutions
Frequently Asked Questions
While your body needs sweat glands to cool itself, your underarms contain only about 2% of the 2–4 million sweat glands in your body. Eliminating this small percentage has no effect on your body’s ability to regulate its temperature.
The procedure itself is painless because the area is numbed beforehand. You may feel some light suction from the handpiece, but most patients relax and listen to music or a podcast during the 60-minute session.
Most patients see an average of 82% reduction in sweat and are satisfied after just one treatment. For those with severe hyperhidrosis, a second session may be recommended three months later for optimal results.
You may experience some swelling, soreness, or "lumpiness" in the underarms for a few days to a week. We recommend using ice packs and wearing loose clothing immediately following your appointment. Most patients return to exercise within several days.
