MiraDry has long been known as an effective and safe means of reducing excessive underarm sweat. Now, however, there is a brand-new use for the technology: underarm hair reduction! MiraSmooth, a new product from Miramar Labs, the company that makes MiraDry, has just received FDA approval for hair reduction under the arms. We have offered MiraDry at AvaMD for years, and we are looking forward to offering this new hair reduction device soon as well.
How Does MiraSmooth Work?
The proprietary MiraWave microwave technology that has proven valuable in reducing underarm sweat is the same technology used in the new MiraSmooth device. While essentially “microwaving” your underarms may seem like a daunting prospect, MiraDry and MiraSmooth are both FDA approved for their individual uses. Many people use MiraDry to prevent excessive sweating and are satisfied with the results, so there is no reason to doubt that MiraSmooth will be just as satisfactory.
Microwave technology is not the first thing people think of when they think of cosmetic procedures, but time has proven that it definitely has its place in the cosmetic world. MiraDry is considered one of the best ways to prevent excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, and while it is only approved for underarm hair removal at the moment, it may be developed in the future for hair removal in other places as well.
Benefits of MiraSmooth
The main benefit of using MiraSmooth for your underarm hair is that it can treat hair of all colors. While laser technology has improved over the years and can be used effectively on most skin colors and types, one drawback that has yet to be overcome is that most lasers can’t treat blonde or red hair. MiraSmooth works on hair of all colors, so it could be a great opportunity for people with light-colored hair who nevertheless want to remove it semi-permanently.
Results with MiraWave technology have provided about 70% reduction in hair of all colors under the arm. In the future, patients who want to have both underarm hair reduction and prevention of excessive sweating may be able to have both done in the same procedure!
