What is Hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating beyond what’s needed for normal body temperature regulation. This condition affects approximately 4.8% of the U.S. population, or about 15.3 million people, causing significant physical and emotional discomfort.
Types of Hyperhidrosis
- Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis: This most common form typically begins in adolescence and affects specific areas such as the underarms (axillary hyperhidrosis), palms, soles, or face without an underlying medical cause.
- Secondary Generalized Hyperhidrosis: This type is caused by an underlying health condition or medication and often involves sweating all over the body rather than in specific areas.
At Pacific Clinic, we specialize in treating axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis with MiraDry, a revolutionary FDA-cleared technology that permanently eliminates the sweat and odor glands in the underarm area.
The Impact of Hyperhidrosis
Living with hyperhidrosis can significantly affect your quality of life in numerous ways:
- Daily Challenges: Frequent clothing changes, visible sweat stains, and constant concern about body odor
- Social Impact: Embarrassment in social situations and reluctance to raise arms
- Professional Repercussions: Difficulty with handshakes, presentations, and other workplace interactions
- Clothing Limitations: Restricted wardrobe choices and damage to clothing from sweat and strong antiperspirants
- Emotional Toll: Decreased self-confidence and anxiety related to the condition
MiraDry offers a permanent solution to these challenges, freeing you from the constant worry associated with excessive underarm sweating.

How MiraDry Works
MiraDry is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared device that uses precise microwave energy to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area. This non-invasive technology permanently removes these glands while leaving surrounding tissues unaffected.
The MiraDry Difference
Unlike temporary solutions such as antiperspirants, Botox injections, or prescription medications, MiraDry offers a permanent solution to hyperhidrosis. Your body contains approximately 2-4 million sweat glands, with only about 2% located in your underarms. MiraDry eliminates these underarm sweat glands while leaving the rest of your body’s cooling system intact, allowing for normal temperature regulation.
The Science Behind MiraDry
The MiraDry system works through a process called thermolysis:
- The device precisely delivers controlled microwave energy to the layer of skin where the sweat and odor glands reside
- This energy heats and eliminates the glands permanently
- The surface of your skin is simultaneously cooled and protected
- Your body naturally eliminates the treated glands over time
- Since these glands don’t regenerate, results are permanent
As an added benefit, MiraDry also reduces underarm hair by approximately 70% regardless of hair color, as the same energy that targets sweat glands affects hair follicles in the treatment area.
