Following a recent announcement, the dermatology clinic Derm.ca offers MiraDry, a non-surgical and FDA-approved treatment designed to permanently decrease targeted underarm sweat and odour glands, and hair follicles. This can significantly reduce excessive sweating (medically known as hyperhidrosis) and odour, with many patients seeing results after just one session.
The MiraDry procedure takes around 90 minutes with local anesthesia, and many patients notice an improvement within 48 hours. While some patients achieve results after one treatment, others may need a second session, spaced minimum 3 months apart, depending on the severity of the condition.

Excessive underarm sweating can be a nuisance and affect a person's self-esteem in social situations. With MiraDry, Banff patients can experience a lasting and permanent reduction in sweat, odour, and hair, improving their daily lives. However, individual results may vary, and some patients may require more than one treatment.
"If you have had episodes of annoying excessive underarm sweating, which is psychologically devastating for some people, this is right for you. You can feel confident in social situations again and wear your favourite pastel colours - black shirts are no longer a necessity," a company spokesperson said.
Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, occurs due to overactive sweat and odour glands. When combined with skin bacteria, this can lead to unpleasant body odour, a condition known as osmidrosis. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, approximately 5% of the global population suffers from hyperhidrosis, some of which sweat 4 to 5 times more than what's considered normal.
MiraDry uses thermal energy to precisely target and permanently reduce sweat and odour glands. Unlike Botox, which requires regular maintenance treatments, MiraDry offers a permanent reduction in underarm sweating, often achieved in just one session, with some needing a second. There is also no risk of compensatory sweating, which can occur with some surgical treatments, where sweating appears in other parts of the body.
Additionally, MiraDry can eliminate underarm hair follicles, offering a triple solution to excessive sweating, odour, and hair, for all hair colors and skin types.
Following the procedure, patients may experience temporary swelling, numbness, and bruising in the treated area. Derm.ca provides personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, which may include the use of ice packs and avoiding strenuous activities for a few days, up to a week. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days.
It’s essential for patients to receive an evaluation from experienced dermatologists and clinicians, such as Dr. Ken Alanen or Ildiko Juhasz, to determine the best approach and assess if MiraDry is the right treatment.
A happy patient shared their testimonial: "Thanks to Ildiko and her team, I now have my confidence back. I can't tell you how stressful it was going into a social situation with the fear of breaking out into a heavy sweat. I recommend MiraDry treatment to anyone who wants to eliminate sweat and odour in the underarm area."
