If excessive underarm sweating has been a source of frustration or embarrassment for you, you might have heard that miraDry® can help.
But what if you’ve already had laser hair removal in your underarm area, can you still get miraDry? The answer is a resounding “yes!”, and here’s why.
You Could Be a Candidate, Even after Laser Hair Removal
[pullquote]MiraDry is now also FDA approved to prevent underarm hair growth.[/pullquote]
MiraDry works similarly to a laser treatment, in that it uses thermal energy (heat) to disable targeted sweat glands. Laser hair removal uses laser energy that is absorbed by the pigment in your hair and converted to heat to disable the hair follicle, thus stopping or delaying growth.
Therefore, there is no harm in getting a miraDry treatment to address excessive underarm sweating, even if you’ve already had a full round of laser hair removal treatments in the same area.
But Wait, There’s More!
If you haven’t started laser hair removal treatments yet, you might want to hold off and try miraDry first. MiraDry can actually double as an underarm hair removal treatment and sweat reduction treatment.
You can still move forward with laser hair removal after miraDry if you like, but you might find that you’re happy with your hair removal results from miraDry and no longer need a laser treatment.
On the flip side, miraDry could very well improve your laser hair removal results even further if you’ve already had LHR treatments.
