End excessive, and embarrassing, sweating permanently with the FDA-approved, non-invasive miraDry procedure, now offered at Van Dyke Aesthetics
Come in today to learn more about this high-tech new procedure that offers an FDA-approved and long-lasting solution to anyone who wants to dramatically reduce their sweating and dependence on chemical antiperspirants.* Using precisely controlled electromagnetic energy, this breakthrough procedure eliminates targeted underarm sweat glands, unlike other procedures such as Botox and antiperspirants, which only temporarily disable the sweat glands and require frequent repeat treatments to maintain effectiveness. Unlike surgery or other more invasive treatments, miraDry patients experience little pain because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with most people experiencing only some pressure and light pulling on the skin, with some sensations of warmth. Most important, patients can expect instant results (average underarm sweating reduction of 82-percent, according to a clinical study*) with minimal to no downtime.
The procedure itself usually takes about an hour, and a second procedure may be recommended, three months apart, to maximize the quality and duration of results. Even better, the miraDry procedure has a 98-percent approval rating on RealSelf.com, the world's largest community for reviewing, learning and sharing information about cosmetic surgery, dermatology and other elective treatments. Check out what patients who have had miraDry have to say for themselves!
We are often asked, "What are the potential side effects of eliminating sweat glands?" According to Dr. Susan Van Dyke, the human body contains more than four million sweat glands, and only about 2-percent of them are in your underarms. So a miraDry procedure will not affect your body's ability to cool. Dr. Van Dyke feels it's important to clarify that when sweat glands are removed from the underarms, your body won't start sweating more in other areas to compensate. There are in fact a couple positive side effects – by eliminating sweat you also eliminate the associated odor! Additionally, there is also a reduction of hair in the treated area. So say goodbye to excessive sweating, odor, and hair with the help of the Van Dyke Aesthetics team.
