What is miraDry?
miraDry is the first and only FDA-approved, energy-based treatment that safely eliminates sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. The handheld device delivers precisely controlled thermal energy beneath the skin, targeting the glands while simultaneously cooling and protecting the surface. Because our bodies contain far more sweat glands than we need for temperature regulation, eliminating those in the armpits does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself.
Most patients experience an immediate, dramatic reduction in underarm sweat after just one session. For those with severe hyperhidrosis, a second treatment may further enhance results. With no incisions, minimal discomfort, and little to no downtime, miraDry has become a life-changing option for anyone frustrated by excessive perspiration.

If you're considering miraDry, South Coast Plastic Surgery is here to guide you. Dr. Mark Song and our highly trained aesthetic nursing staff will create a personalized plan that addresses your excessive sweating and helps you regain confidence.
Permanent Reduction of Excessive Underarm Sweat
miraDry destroys sweat glands, so they cannot regenerate, providing a lasting solution that frees you from constant antiperspirant applications and sweat-soaked clothing.
Immediate Results After a Single In-Office Treatment
Most patients notice a significant decrease in wetness and odor before they even leave the clinic, allowing them to step back into everyday life without delay.
Enhanced Self-Confidence in Social and Professional Settings
Knowing that your underarms will stay dry gives you the freedom to raise your arms, wear light colors, and interact without anxiety or embarrassment.
Elimination of Ongoing Costs of Antiperspirants and Dry Cleaning
By addressing the root cause of sweating, miraDry can save you money otherwise spent on prescription products, specialty clothing, and frequent laundering.
No Incisions, Minimal Discomfort, and Virtually No Downtime
A local anesthetic keeps you comfortable during treatment, and most people return to work, the gym, or social activities the same day.
Added Benefit of Reducing Underarm Odor and Hair
Because the same glands and follicles that cause odor and hair growth are targeted, many patients enjoy fresher underarms and finer, sparser hair.
