MiraDry Treatment in Long Island

Lasting Relief From Excessive Underarm Sweat and Odor

MiraDry treatment in Garden City, Long Island, offers a non-surgical solution for excessive underarm sweating, also known as axillary hyperhidrosis. This FDA-cleared treatment uses controlled microwave energy to target and eliminate sweat and odor glands beneath the skin. The device cools the skin’s surface during treatment, while the targeted glands do not regenerate, providing lasting sweat reduction.

At our Long Island dermatology center, Dr. Cameron Rokhsar performs MiraDry for patients dealing with persistent underarm sweat, odor, and clothing stains. Each appointment typically takes about two hours. After administering local anesthesia, Dr. Rokhsar uses the MiraDry device to deliver controlled energy beneath the skin. The treatment requires no incisions and targets the glands responsible for underarm sweating.

Most patients notice less sweating soon after treatment, although results vary. MiraDry also reduces underarm odor and hair growth. It offers a lasting alternative to prescription antiperspirants and repeated Botox injections for patients seeking better control of excessive sweating.

Experienced MiraDry Specialist in Long Island

Dr. Cameron Rokhsar is a double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained laser surgeon with more than 20 years of experience. He was among the early physicians to introduce MiraDry treatment to the New York tri-state area. His extensive experience with energy-based treatments helps patients seeking lasting relief from excessive underarm sweating.

Dr. Rokhsar developed a specialized tumescent anesthesia technique for MiraDry to improve patient comfort and treatment precision. He evaluates each patient’s anatomy and treatment goals before selecting appropriate energy settings. This individualized approach helps reduce discomfort and protect surrounding tissues during underarm sweat gland treatment.

Unlike Botox for excessive sweating, which typically requires maintenance injections every few months, MiraDry provides lasting reduction by eliminating targeted sweat glands. Most patients need one or two sessions. The treatment can also reduce underarm odor and hair, offering additional benefits beyond sweat control.

Dr. Rokhsar studied at Harvard and NYU and completed advanced fellowship training in laser surgery. He has participated in clinical research involving MiraDry and other energy-based devices. At our Garden City practice, patients receive physician-directed care backed by his experience and our commitment to patient safety.

MiraDry Treatment Before and After

* Results May Vary.

How Long Does MiraDry Treatment Last?

MiraDry results often begin immediately after treatment, with many patients noticing significantly less underarm sweating within the first few days. Some sweating may return as initial swelling subsides. Because treated sweat glands do not regenerate, the reduction achieved is lasting, although individual results vary.

Clinical studies report an average sweat reduction of approximately 82% after two treatments. Some patients achieve their desired results after one session, while others benefit from a second treatment about three months later. MiraDry also reduces underarm odor and hair growth, although complete dryness and odor elimination are not guaranteed.

For patients who struggle with sweat stains, frequent clothing changes, or persistent underarm odor, MiraDry can make daily activities more comfortable. During your consultation in Garden City, Dr. Rokhsar will discuss realistic results and determine whether additional treatment may benefit you.

MiraDry Treatment Downtime or Side Effects

MiraDry treatment involves minimal downtime, and most patients can return to work and light daily activities shortly afterward. Swelling, soreness, and tenderness under the arms are common during the first few days. Applying ice packs intermittently for 24 to 48 hours and wearing loose clothing can help reduce discomfort.

Some patients experience temporary numbness, tingling, bruising, or firmness in the treated area. These symptoms usually improve gradually, although altered sensation can last several weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and underarm shaving for several days or until your skin has recovered.

As with any energy-based procedure, MiraDry carries risks, including burns, skin changes, and uncommon nerve-related complications. Dr. Rokhsar evaluates your medical history and underarm anatomy before treatment. Our Garden City team provides personalized aftercare instructions and monitors your recovery to address any concerns.
