What Should You Avoid After miraDry® Treatment?

 

Constant underarm sweat and odor can be frustrating, embarrassing, and difficult to manage, especially when daily life demands comfort and confidence. Fortunately, many people have found lasting relief with miraDry, a leading-edge treatment designed to reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). With help from Dr. Philip Rettenmaier at NoSweat Fort Wayne, you can take control and feel more confident in your skin.

Is miraDry Right for You?

miraDry is ideal for those who experience excessive underarm sweating and haven’t had success with traditional treatments like antiperspirants. It’s especially effective for those living with hyperhidrosis, a condition marked by excessive sweating even when the body isn’t overheating.

Adults of all skin types can benefit, and a personal consultation with Dr. Rettenmaier will help determine if miraDry is a good fit for your needs.

What Happens During Treatment?

Treatment is noninvasive and typically takes about an hour. Dr. Rettenmaier will start by marking the target areas and applying a local anesthetic for comfort. The miraDry device is then gently guided over the underarms, using suction to bring the sweat glands closer to the surface.

Controlled thermal energy is delivered into the tissue, effectively destroying the sweat glands. Once eliminated, these glands do not regenerate, making the results long-lasting.

Recovery and Aftercare

Some swelling or tenderness is normal and typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal routines shortly after treatment. You may need a second session, usually scheduled two months later, depending on your individual response.

What to Avoid After Treatment

For the best possible results and a smooth recovery, we recommend avoiding the following:

• Antiperspirants and deodorants for a few days post-treatment

• Heavy workouts or strenuous activities, such as running or weightlifting

• Prolonged sun exposure to the underarms

• Tight clothing that might irritate the treated area

• Swimming or saunas while healing

When to Contact Us

Mild redness, swelling, and bruising are expected and typically resolve on their own. You can use cold compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers to ease any discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, we encourage you to call our office for guidance.
