About miraDry Treatments
Excessive underarm sweating can be both socially and professionally embarrassing, not to mention costly when you consider replacing shirts and blouses. Fortunately, miraDry at Spa Pavone in Spokane, WA offers an FDA-cleared solution to this common condition.
How miraDry Works
miraDry is a noninvasive treatment that delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to destroy sweat and odor glands under the arms. Once those glands are eliminated, they don’t grow back — meaning results are immediate and lasting. Most patients see a dramatic reduction in underarm sweat after just one treatment.
Benefits
- Permanent sweat reduction — most patients experience 80-90% less underarm sweating
- Odor reduction — targets odor glands as well as sweat glands
- Quick treatment — typically completed in about one hour
- No surgery, no toxins — noninvasive with minimal downtime
- FDA-cleared — proven safe and effective
What to Expect
During your miraDry session, local anesthesia is applied to the underarm area for comfort. The miraDry handpiece is then placed on the skin, delivering controlled energy to the targeted area. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, with some temporary swelling and soreness that resolves quickly.

Am I a candidate for miraDry?
Both men and women can benefit from miraDry, especially if you’re self-conscious about your underarm sweat. Our miraDry patients typically have 1 or more of the following traits:
- Wariness of chemicals and heavy metals used in anti-perspirants
- Embarrassment due to excessive body odor
- Excessive sweating during athletic activities
- Constantly having to buy new clothes to replace stained blouses or shirts
- Avoidance of professional opportunities that require public speaking
What can I expect for miraDry results?
Most patients notice results after a single miraDry treatment, but a second procedure is often necessary to completely disable the sweat glands. You can return to work or your other usual activities after your procedure, but we recommend applying cold compresses to your underarms throughout the rest of the day.
“Miradry changed my life! For my entire life, I have suffered from excessive underarm sweat. I have ruined countless tops and dresses with stains and odor. I even resorted to wearing panty liners in my t-shirts. Since my treatment I have not had to wear antiperspirant and a whole new wardrobe world has been opened to me!”
— Actual patient, 31-year-old female
Is it safe to destroy sweat glands?
Sweating is a natural way for the body to cool itself, so many patients worry about disabling the sweat glands. Those glands under the arms, however, represent less than 2 percent of the body’s more than 2 million sweat glands. The body’s ability to cool itself isn’t affected at all by the miraDry treatment.
Will I need to take time off?
Most patients can return to their jobs on the day of the procedure. The exceptions are patients whose jobs require strenuous activities, which should be avoided for about 3 days after the treatment.
Is the treatment painful?
A local anesthetic is injected before the procedure to numb the treatment area. Some patients say they feel a slight tingling or a tugging sensation during the treatment, which takes about an hour to complete.
