Do you suffer from excessive sweating under the armpits? Or do you need to apply an antiperspirant very often? 1 in 10 people suffers from excessive sweating. Taking showers and the use of deodorants are not enough to get through the day without sweating. This can restrict someone’s social life and it can also affect your clothing.
Our dermatologists in the Aesthetic Center Jan van Goyen Amsterdam, people get rid of excessive perspiration by means of the miraDry treatment. This treatment is quick, non-invasive and performed in the doctor's office. The miraDry technique uses electromagnetic energy in the zone where the underarm sweat glands are located. This precisely dosed energy eliminates the sweat glands in a non-surgical way. Because the sweat glands do not come back or regrow after the treatment, the results are permanent. And the results are noticeable quickly; you can expect sweat reduction immediately after treatment, with minimal to no recovery time.
What is miraDry?
The miraDry system is the only FDA-approved treatment that can dramatically reduce underarm sweat by targeting the cause of excessive sweat — not the symptoms
How does it work
MiraDry uses thermal energy that focuses on and eliminates the sweat glands in your armpits. Once the glands are removed, they do not grow back.
Treatment is usually completed within an hour and you should see results after just one treatment. As with any medical procedure, your doctor will determine the best protocol for the desired results.
The treatment
Step 1
After your underarms are numbed, the doctor will place the handpiece directly on your skin, in line with the temporary tattoo applied to your forearm.

Step 2
Then the handpiece is activated. You get a light suction as your skin and glands are brought closer to the surface for maximum results

Step 3
Finally, thermal energy is delivered and the sweat and scent glands are eliminated. All the while, the system cools down to protect your skin and maximize your comfort.

Our dermatologists are all members of the Dutch Society for Dermatology and Venereology (NVDV). To make an appointment for a miraDry treatment or for more information, please contact us at 020 3055 847 or send an e-mail to dermatologie@jvg.nl.
