MiraDry® Treatment in Northridge, CA

Dry underarms, minus the midday reapply.

Long-Term Sweat and Odor Reduction in Just One Treatment

Maybe it is the hand you keep tucked at your side during a handshake. Maybe it is the dark colored shirt you reach for out of habit, even in August. Excessive underarm sweat has a way of shaping small daily decisions long before anyone else notices it.

MiraDry is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment built specifically to address underarm sweat and odor at the source, rather than covering it up for a few hours at a time. Many patients notice a meaningful reduction after a single session, and our physician-led team at N2U Aesthetics maps each treatment to your underarm anatomy rather than applying a one-size-fits-all setting.

Curious whether MiraDry fits your goals? A consultation is the best place to start.

What Is MiraDry?

MiraDry® is a cosmetic device treatment designed to reduce the sweat and odor glands located in the underarm. It works from outside the skin, without incisions, and it is one of the only treatments cleared by the FDA specifically for this purpose.

The Only FDA-Cleared, Non-Invasive Treatment for Underarm Sweat and Odor

Most sweat-reduction options, from clinical-strength antiperspirants to neuromodulator injections, work by temporarily blocking or slowing gland activity, which means the effect fades and needs to be repeated.

MiraDry takes a different approach: it targets the glands themselves using energy delivered through a handheld device, without cutting or injecting anything into the skin.

How MiraDry Works to Reduce Sweat and Odor Glands

During treatment, the MiraDry device delivers controlled energy to the layer of tissue just beneath the underarm skin, where sweat and odor glands are concentrated. The energy heats and disables the targeted glands, while the outer layer of skin is cooled and protected throughout the session. Because the treatment is calibrated to a fairly narrow band of tissue, it is designed to leave the surrounding structures largely undisturbed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the MiraDry Treatment?

MiraDry is an in-office treatment that uses energy delivered through a handheld device to reduce the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. It is intended for adults dealing with bothersome underarm sweating or odor, including those who have not found lasting relief from antiperspirants alone.
The device delivers controlled thermal energy to the area beneath the underarm skin where sweat and odor glands sit, while a cooling mechanism protects the skin’s surface. The goal is to reduce the activity of the targeted glands without affecting the tissue around them.
The body relies on sweat glands throughout the skin to help regulate temperature, but only a small percentage of the body’s total sweat glands are located in the underarms. Reducing the glands in this specific area is not expected to interfere with the body’s overall ability to regulate temperature, though every patient’s anatomy and health history are different, which is why this is reviewed individually during consultation.
A typical visit includes numbing the underarm area, marking the treatment zone, and then passing the MiraDry device over the marked area in a series of controlled passes. Most sessions take about an hour from start to finish, including preparation.
Local anesthetic is used to numb the underarm area before treatment, so most patients describe the sensation during the procedure itself as mild pressure, pulling, or warmth rather than significant pain. Comfort can vary by individual, and our team will talk through what to expect before starting.
Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Some temporary swelling, tenderness, or a feeling of tightness in the underarm is common in the days that follow, and our team will walk you through activity guidelines, including when to resume exercise.
Temporary swelling, tenderness, numbness, or soreness in the treated area are the most commonly reported effects, and these typically ease within days to a couple of weeks. Less common effects can include bruising or changes in sensation that take longer to resolve. Our team reviews your health history during consultation to help determine whether MiraDry is an appropriate option for you.
Many patients notice a reduction in underarm sweat and odor, and some also see less underarm hair in the treated area, since hair follicles sit near the targeted glands. Because the treatment is designed to reduce the glands themselves rather than temporarily suppress them, results tend to build and hold over time for many patients, though individual response varies based on anatomy, gland density, and how the body responds to treatment.
Many patients see a meaningful reduction after a single session. Others, depending on the extent of their sweating and their goals, choose a second treatment, often spaced around three months after the first. Your provider can recommend a specific plan after evaluating your underarms during consultation.
Pricing depends on factors such as whether one or two sessions are recommended and your specific treatment goals. General pricing information is outlined later on this page, and our team can provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.

Benefits of MiraDry at N2U Aesthetics

Long-Term Reduction in Sweat and Odor

Because MiraDry targets the glands responsible for underarm sweat and odor rather than temporarily calming them, many patients find that results hold up well over time, without the need for repeat treatments every few months the way some other options require.

Less Reliance on Antiperspirant or Deodorant

Patients who complete treatment often find they need less antiperspirant or deodorant day to day, simply because there is less sweat and odor to manage in the first place.

Quick In-Office Procedure

A MiraDry session typically fits into a single appointment of about an hour, including numbing time, which makes it realistic to schedule around a workday.

Minimal Downtime

Because MiraDry does not involve incisions, most patients are able to return to typical daily activities soon after treatment, with some temporary tenderness or swelling as the underarm settles.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Initial Consultation

Your visit starts with a conversation about your sweating and odor concerns, how long they have bothered you, and what you have already tried. Our team reviews your health history and underarm anatomy to help determine whether MiraDry is a reasonable fit, and answers questions about sensation, downtime, and realistic expectations.

The MiraDry Procedure

On treatment day, the underarm area is cleansed, measured, and marked to guide precise device placement. Local anesthetic is used to numb the area, then the MiraDry device is passed over the marked zone in a defined pattern to treat the full area evenly. Most sessions take about an hour, including preparation and numbing time.

Recovery and Aftercare

Immediately after treatment, some swelling, tightness, or numbness in the underarm is common and typically improves over the following days. Our team provides specific aftercare guidance, which may include when to resume exercise, how to care for the treated area, and what changes to expect as swelling resolves.
