Say Goodbye to Excessive Underarm Sweat for Good
Are you tired of dealing with excessive underarm sweating, unwanted odor, or embarrassing sweat stains? miraDry in Carson offers a revolutionary, non-invasive solution that provides permanent sweat and odor reduction, giving you the confidence to go about your day without worry.
QD Skinnovations proudly offers miraDry, a clinically proven treatment designed to eliminate underarm sweat glands for good. Unlike temporary solutions such as deodorants, antiperspirants, or Botox injections, miraDry delivers lasting results in just one or two sessions.
What is miraDry and How Does It Work?
miraDry is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to permanently reduce excessive sweating and odor by targeting and eliminating underarm sweat glands using thermal energy. Because sweat glands do not regenerate, results are permanent, making it an ideal solution for those suffering from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or anyone looking for a sweat-free lifestyle.
The miraDry Process
- Numbing the Treatment Area – A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
- Targeting Sweat & Odor Glands – miraDry delivers thermal energy directly to the sweat glands.
- Permanently Eliminating Glands – Once destroyed, the glands do not regenerate, meaning sweat and odor are significantly reduced.
- Cooling for Comfort – The built-in cooling system protects the surrounding skin while the treatment is performed.

FAQs About miraDry
What is miraDry, and how does it work?
miraDry is a non-surgical underarm treatment that uses controlled microwave energy to target the sweat and odor glands in the underarm. The treatment is done in the clinic under local anesthetic, and it addresses the glands in the treated area rather than masking sweat. Your provider will explain what the session involves at your consultation.
Is miraDry safe?
Yes, miraDry is FDA cleared for reducing underarm sweat and odor. The body has millions of sweat glands, so treating those in the underarm does not affect your ability to regulate temperature. Side effects such as swelling, soreness and temporary numbness are common and are reviewed at your consultation.
Does miraDry hurt?
The procedure is generally well tolerated. Local anesthetic is applied to the underarm beforehand, and most clients report only mild discomfort, warmth or tingling during treatment. Soreness and swelling in the days afterwards are normal. We will explain what to expect before you book.
How soon does miraDry work and how long do results last?
Most clients notice reduced sweating soon after treatment, with the fuller effect developing over the following weeks. Sweat glands treated with miraDry do not regenerate, so the reduction is lasting. Individual results vary, and some clients choose a second session for further reduction.
Will I still need deodorant after miraDry?
Many clients find they use deodorant or antiperspirant far less or stop altogether, because miraDry reduces the sweat and odor-producing glands in the treated area. This varies between individuals, and we will set a realistic expectation at consultation rather than promise a specific outcome.
Can miraDry treat sweating on other parts of the body?
No. miraDry is FDA cleared only for underarm sweat and odor reduction and is not used in other areas. If sweating elsewhere is your concern, tell us at consultation, since other options may be appropriate and can be discussed.
What is recovery like after miraDry?
Swelling, tenderness and some numbness in the underarm area are common for a few days to a couple of weeks, and are the expected response rather than a complication. Most people return to everyday activity quickly but are advised to hold off on strenuous exercise for several days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare and tell you when to resume normal routines.
