Steps to Sweat-Reduced
The Science behind miraDry™
The treatment is pretty simple. The miraDry™ system targets and eliminates the odorous sweat glands in the underarms utilizing thermal energy. Once the glands are eradicated, they do not regrow, keeping you free from sweat, stains and stress!
Sweating stress?
Do not worry! You are not alone. There are approximately 37 million in the U.S and over 3 million in Canada who suffer from excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. miraDry™ treatment is the most simple and painless method for a permanent solution.
Do I not need to sweat?
Not necessarily only from your underarms. The human body contains approximately 2 – 4 Million sweat glands across the body while only 2% are in the underarm. Eliminating 2% of sweat glands does not affect your body’s ability to cool itself. The miraDry™ treatment provides the best solution to eliminate these sweat glands for a dry, sweat-reduced underarm but will continue to perspire normally elsewhere in your body.
Stressing over sweat?
You are not alone. There are 37 million people in the United States who suffer from excessive sweat and/or hyperhidrosis. Fortunately, miraDry offers a permanent solution. Take a quick survey to see if miraDry is right for you.
Why Do I Have Body Odor?
Your body has eccrine glands and apocrine glands that produce sweat to cool the body. Your apocrine glands are usually the culprit of underarm body odor. These glands produce a thicker type of sweat with an oily consistency made up of proteins and lipids (fats). The sweat from your apocrine glands mixed with bacteria on your skin creates odor.

"I had my Miradry treatment a few days ago at Cur Laser and I’d say it’s the best experience I’ve ever had at an aesthetic clinic! It was my first time getting a pretty life changing treatment so I was quite nervous, but Dr. Kumar, Alina and Tonia who were performing the treatment on me, were really professional and kept me calm this whole time. Everyone made my visit very welcoming, including the ladies at the reception! I’ll definitely be recommending this clinic to anyone!"
