The Basics of the miraDry Procedure

Published

The Basics of the miraDry ProcedureExcessive underarm sweating can cause embarrassment and stress. Sweat also ruins clothing and may negatively affect your work and social life due to decreased confidence. Fortunately there is a non-surgical solution to combating excessive sweating that offers permanent results.

How miraDry® Works:

The miraDry procedure available from your dermatologist uses specially targeted electromagnetic energy to destroy the sweat glands under your arms. Because these glands do not regenerate, they will no longer be able to produce sweat, making this procedure ideal for permanent relief from underarm sweating. Only 2% of your body’s sweat glands are located beneath your arms, so you will notice no increase in sweating from other areas of the body and no drop in your ability to cool yourself.

What You Can Expect from Your miraDry Procedure:

Before your miraDry procedure, your underarm area will be examined and marked by your dermatologist to identify the areas that will be treated. You will be asked to lie back and relax, and your dermatologist will apply the miraDry to your underarms. The procedure itself is painless and lasts for about an hour. After your miraDry treatment; no exercising the upper extremities for 3 days. You will expect mild swelling that is controlled with ice and ibuprofen. Call Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology for additional aftercare instructions following your procedure.

What Results miraDry Offers:

Because miraDry eliminates the sweat glands beneath your arms, it is a permanent solution to excessive underarm sweating. For maximum coverage and efficacy, dermatologists recommend two miraDry treatments scheduled three months apart. Studies report that on average, underarm sweating is reduced in those who undergo two miraDry procedures by up to 90%.

Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology was one of the first practices in the United States to offer the miraDry procedure to their patients. To learn more about miraDry, read our miraDry page and contact our office at 316-245-9965 to schedule a consultation with one of our providers.

What is EMSCULPT NEO?: Your Guide to Non-Invasive Body Contouring

EMSCULPT has emerged as a game-changer for those seeking a non-invasive body contouring solution. But what exactly is EMSCULPT, and how does it work? This guide will delve into the details of this innovative technology and its newer counterpart, EMSCULPT NEO. Understanding EMSCULPT EMSCULPT is an FDA-cleared device that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce powerful muscle contractions. These contractions are far more intense than what you could achieve with regular workouts. The result? A tighter, more toned body. How Does It Work? When you undergo an EMSCULPT treatment, the practitioner will apply the EMSCULPT handpiece directly onto your skin on the target area. The HIFEM technology then causes supramaximal contractions in the muscles. In a single 30-minute session, your muscles in the treated area will undergo thousands of contractions, equivalent to doing thousands of crunches or squats. What Areas Can EMSCULPT Treat? While EMSCULPT was initially approved for use on the abdomen and buttocks, it has since received clearance for treatment of the waist, arms, calves, and thighs. Introducing EMSCULPT NEO Building on the success of EMSCULPT, the newer EMSCULPT NEO takes body contouring a step further. But what is EMSCULPT NEO, and how does it differ from its predecessor? EMSCULPT NEO combines the HIFEM technology of the original EMSCULPT with radiofrequency heating. This dual approach allows it to target both muscle and fat simultaneously. How does EMSCULPT NEO work? The radiofrequency energy heats the muscles and fat to roughly 108°F. This temperature optimizes an environment for muscle growth and triggers apoptosis in fat cells, causing them to die off. Meanwhile, the HIFEM energy contracts the muscles, just as in the original EMSCULPT treatment.   [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkjwcKJyLP4[/embed]   EMSCULPT NEO Benefits and Results EMSCULPT NEO offers significant benefits for those looking to sculpt their bodies without surgery: Non-invasive treatment with no downtime Builds muscle and improves tone EMSCULPT NEO also reduces fat in the treated area Results can be seen and felt relatively quickly, with optimal results typically visible after a series of treatments It's important to note that while these treatments can provide impressive results, they're not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. The best outcomes are seen in patients who combine EMSCULPT NEO treatments with a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Is EMSCULPT NEO Right For You? EMSCULPT NEO can be an excellent option for those who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn areas that don't respond well to diet and exercise alone. They're particularly effective for those who want to enhance muscle definition. However, these treatments aren't suitable for everyone. Pregnant women, people with metal or electronic implants in the treatment area, and those with certain health conditions should avoid EMSCULPT and EMSCULPT NEO. Schedule a Consultation For EMSCULPT NEO At Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology, our experienced team can assess your individual needs and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your body contouring goals safely and effectively.
