MiraDry works by delivering precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to the underarm area, eliminating the underarm sweat glands. Two procedures are typically recommended, 3 months apart, to maximise the quality and duration of results.

While sweating is an essential body function for temperature-control, the underarms house less than 2% of the body’s sweat glands, and miraDry is completely safe and has a 79% patient. satisfaction rating on Realself.

1. Significant reduction in underarm sweating: MiraDry can reduce underarm sweating by up to 82%, providing long-lasting results.
2. Improved odour control: Since excessive sweating often leads to body odour, miraDry can also improve odour control, helping individuals feel more confident in social situations.
3. Non-invasive and quick procedure: MiraDry is a non-invasive treatment that can be completed in about one hour. There is no downtime, so patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
4. Permanent results: Once the sweat glands in the underarms are destroyed by miraDry, they do not regenerate, providing permanent results.
5. Reduction in the need for antiperspirants: Since miraDry provides long-lasting reduction in underarm sweating, it can significantly reduce the need for antiperspirants or deodorants, saving time and money.

Whilst Botox is commonly known for treating fine lines and wrinkles, Botox is also used for medical purposes to treat a variety of conditions, such as migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. In these cases, it is used to relax specific muscles or glands that are causing the problem.

Botox treatment for sweating can provide several benefits for people who suffer from excessive sweating.

• Reduces sweating: Botox injections can reduce the amount of sweat that is produced by the treated area. This can be particularly beneficial for people who suffer from excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, or feet.

• Long-lasting results: Botox treatment for sweating can provide long-lasting results, with effects lasting for several months. This means that patients do not need to undergo frequent treatments to maintain their results.

• Safe and effective: Botox has been used for medical purposes for many years and is considered safe when administered by a trained medical professional like our team at PHI Clinic London. 

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating beyond what is necessary, to regulate body temperature. This sweating can occur in various parts of the body, such as the hands, feet, face, underarms, and groin. 

1. Primary hyperhidrosis: This type of hyperhidrosis has no underlying medical cause and usually starts during adolescence. It tends to affect specific areas of the body, such as the palms, soles of the feet, and underarms.
2. Secondary hyperhidrosis: This type of hyperhidrosis is caused by an underlying medical condition or medication. It can affect the entire body or specific areas and often starts later in life. 

The causes of excessive sweating, can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

1. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, menopause, heart disease, and infections can cause excessive sweating.
2. Medications: Certain medications such as antidepressants, blood pressure medications, and some painkillers can cause excessive sweating as a side effect.
3. Anxiety and stress: Emotional stress and anxiety can trigger the sympathetic nervous system, leading to excessive sweating.
4. Alcohol and caffeine: Both alcohol and caffeine can increase body temperature and stimulate the sweat glands, leading to excessive sweating.
5. Obesity: Excess weight can increase body temperature and make it difficult for the body to regulate its temperature, leading to excessive sweating.
6. Genetics: Hyperhidrosis can run in families and may be inherited genetically.
