Miradry is a permanent treatment for sweaty and smelly underarms. Botox works well, however miraDry is permanent. In Australia, Botox is subsidised by Medicare, and patients only pay $440 out of pocket- cheaper than the cost price of a vial of Botox. MiraDry is not subsidised by Medicare, and costs 9 times more than one treatment of Botox. Dr Davin Lim was the very first doctor in Australia to perform miraDry and has co-published International papers on miraDry for excessive underarm sweating. Davin Lim formed SweatFree in 2011- one of the World’s best portals for information on excessive sweating.

How does this treatment work?
miraDry is the very latet in anti-sweating treatments for axillary hyperhidrosis (sweaty armpits). Unlike Botox injections, this treatment is PERMANENT, yes, you will have a permanent sweat reduction of up to 990 % following two treatment cycles. Dr Davin Lim explains this procedure and how it works-‘ miraDry uses safe, electromagnetic energy that is directed to the underarm sweat glands. This energy is converted to heat, and the area is heated to a precise temperature of 67 degrees. This destroys the eccrine units (sweat glands) permanently. A cool applicator protects the upper layers of the skin, whilst local anaesthetic to the area makes this procedure comfortable and well tolerated. Because your body contains millions of eccrine units, treating your armpits will only eliminate 2% of your sweat glands- so you do not need to worry about heat stroke or compensatory/ rebound sweating.

How long does the miraDry procedure take?
Treatment takes between 45 minutes to just over an hour, depending on the size of the armpit. Remember, you will require two treatments of miraDry spaced 3 months apart for optimal outcomes.

How long will it take to recover after miraDry?
Most people can get back to activities within a day or two of the procedure- according to miraDry company guidelines, however Dr Davin Lim has first hand experience and makes this statement –‘most patients are back to normal within the 72 hours, however during the first few days, the armpits maybe swollen and tender.

How does miraDry differ from Botox injections for underarm sweating?
miraDry is a permanent solution whilst Botox is temporary. Once patients complete their miraDry treatment, they will achieve sweat reduction of up to 80% for life! Botox is an excellent treatment for excessive sweating, but this needs to be repeated every 4-6 months for life. In most cases both work equally well, however gives you permanent sweat reduction, and one gives you temporary sweat reduction.

Can miraDry decrease excessive body odor?
Yes it can. This is because miraDry destroys the apocrine glands that are implicated in causing BO.


Now what should I get- Botox or miraDry for sweaty underarms?

The choice comes down to 2 factors- firstly, if you are after a permanent treatment for your underarm sweating- the answer is miraDry. If you want a temporary solution that works very well, AND at an affordable price point to everyone- the choice is Botox. If I can give you a guide-

• If you had Botox before and the treatment last 8-12 months- stick with Botox. You will save heaps, as the price of miraDry should go down within the next 5 years. Botox is only 420 dollars out of pocket, and this is repeated possibly once a year.

• OK, if you are at the other extreme, and Botox only last 3 -4 months, get miraDry. What you spend on Botox for 3 years, you will get back on your miraDry treatments. We offer payment plans for miraDry to help patients financially.
