Excessive Sweating Treatment in Huntley IL Area
Dealing with excessive sweating? Finding your wardrobe focusing on dark cotton fabrics due to your constant sweating? Are you embarrassed that your condition cannot be controlled with traditional over-the-counter antiperspirants? If you are ready to take control of your hyperhidrosis once and for all, our team at Dermatology Specialists of Illinois recommends the Miradry treatment for excessive sweating. Below are some frequently asked questions our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Vikram Khanna, and his team often hear from patients.

What is Miradry?

With Miradry, you can say goodbye to underarm sweating forever. This fast, non-invasive treatment offers a permanent solution to excessive underarm sweat. The Miradry system utilizes a handheld device that emits a controlled amount of energy when applied to the underarm, specifically targeting the area where your sweat glands are located. These sweat glands are non-invasively eradicated, and since they don't regenerate, you'll experience a significant and enduring decrease in underarm sweat.

What is the Miradry procedure like?

Experience a completely non-invasive treatment, void of any surgical cuts or incisions. Our skilled practitioners carefully tailor the treatment for each underarm using the Miradry handpiece multiple times for precision. We administer local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout your procedure. Your appointment, typically lasting an hour, promises a seamless experience. For the best results and longevity, it is recommended to have two sessions with a three-month interval between them.

What can I expect after my Miradry procedure?

The procedure incurs little to no time off, allowing you to get back on track almost immediately. For any minor discomfort, your physician may suggest a gentle, readily available pain reliever and the application of ice packs for a short period. You can expect to resume your usual daily activities or job immediately post-procedure, and generally, you can get back to your workout routine within a few days. A slight tenderness or swelling in the treated area is to be expected, but worry not, as it usually disappears within a couple of weeks.
