miraDry Long-term Results Point to Permanent Sweat Reduction
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Miramar Labs®, Inc., a leading medical device manufacturer and maker of the miraDry® System, today announced the results of recently published 2-year data showing that miraDry efficacy observed at 30 days remains stable through 2 years.
The miraDry System delivers energy non-invasively to the area under the arm where sweat glands reside, creating localized heat to destroy and eliminate those glands. Since sweat glands do not regenerate, these results are expected to be permanent.
