“This is the only FDA-approved procedure that can permanently reduce sweat and reduce hair,” said Dr. Bowe. “In the past, when you talked about laser hair removal, the laser targets the pigment, so it only works if you have dark brown or black hair. Here you’re getting a 70 percent permanent reduction in hair growth, no matter what color your hair is, after one treatment.”
“miraDry/miraSmooth appeals to patients looking to avoid perspiration, odor, sweat-stained clothing or even the chemicals in deodorants and antiperspirants,” commented Mike Kleine, Chief Executive Officer of Miramar. “We find that it is truly an aesthetic concern and we have the clinical data that demonstrates we are able to meet these patient needs.”
