MIRADRY - SWEAT TREATMENT FOR UNDERARM HYPERHIDROSIS AT VILVA COSMETICS
miraDry is a safe, clinically proven, and permanent solution for excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis) and odor. For those who are tired of stained clothes, frequent deodorant application, and the embarrassment of underarm sweat, miraDry offers a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment. At Vilva Cosmetics, we provide this advanced procedure to help you feel dry, fresh, and confident every day.
The miraDry system uses precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. Since these glands do not regenerate, the results are permanent. The procedure is non-invasive and provides a significant reduction in sweat, odor, and even underarm hair. It is a fantastic alternative to temporary solutions like antiperspirants or Botox injections.
During your consultation at Vilva Cosmetics in Erode, our medical professionals will assess your condition and discuss how miraDry can help you. We will ensure you understand the process and what to expect, providing a supportive and comfortable environment for this life-changing treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – MIRADRY
How does miraDry work?
miraDry uses a handpiece to deliver controlled electromagnetic energy to the underarm. This energy targets and safely eliminates the sweat and odor glands. A unique cooling system ensures the comfort of your skin's surface during the process.
Is the treatment painful?
Before the procedure, local anaesthesia is administered to the underarm area, ensuring the treatment is comfortable and painless. Most patients experience a sensation of suction and a feeling of warmth, but no significant pain.
Is it safe to eliminate sweat glands?
Yes, it is perfectly safe. Your body has millions of sweat glands, and the underarms contain only about 2% of them. Eliminating these glands will not affect your body's ability to cool itself or its overall thermoregulation.
How many treatments are needed?
Most patients achieve their desired results with just one miraDry treatment. However, in cases of severe hyperhidrosis, a second treatment may be recommended about three months after the first to achieve maximum results.
What is the recovery like?
You can return to normal activities right after the treatment. You may experience some swelling, soreness, or numbness in the underarms for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days.
