Say goodbye to embarrassing underarm sweat outbreaks, stained clothes, and frequent antiperspirant application. At Venus Medical in Dublin, we offer MiraDry, the only non-invasive, FDA-cleared procedure that provides a dramatic and lasting reduction of underarm sweat and odour glands. Whether you’re struggling with excessive sweating, primary axillary hyperhidrosis, or simply want a cleaner, more confident you, MiraDry could be your ideal solution.
We are proud to be the first and only clinic in Ireland to offer the MiraDry procedure. With years of experience and clinical excellence, Venus Medical continues to lead the way in non-invasive sweat and odour reduction treatments.
MiraDry is a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment for excessive underarm sweating. It uses precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to eliminate sweat and odour glands in the underarm area. Unlike temporary solutions like antiperspirants or nerve-blocking injections, MiraDry offers a permanent reduction in sweat and odour with minimal to no downtime.
This advanced technology is FDA-cleared and does not involve any surgery or incisions. The treated glands do not regenerate, which means the results are permanent. For those dealing with excessive sweating, it offers a life-changing solution that is safe, effective, and long-lasting.
The MiraDry system targets the area where sweat and odour glands reside using thermal energy delivered through a specialised handpiece. The treatment begins with local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. The underarm area is then precisely marked and treated using the MiraDry device, which emits microwave energy that destroys sweat and odour glands while a cooling mechanism protects the skin.
The treatment takes about an hour and is performed in the comfort of our Dublin clinic. Because sweat glands represent only 2% of the body’s total and are concentrated in the underarms, the body’s ability to cool itself is unaffected.
Your journey begins with a personalised consultation where we assess your concerns and determine your suitability for MiraDry. This can also be performed remotely on the MeTime app where Dr. Prendergast will answer your questions. On the day of the procedure, the underarm area is numbed with a local anaesthetic before treatment begins. Most sessions last about 90 minutes, and patients are able to leave the clinic shortly afterwards.
Recovery is straightforward. Some mild swelling, soreness or bruising is common in the treated area, but this typically resolves within a few days. Short-term altered sensation in the underarms may occur, but this gradually disappears. Most patients can resume normal activities straight away and return to exercise within a few days.
MiraDry delivers results that are both immediate and permanent. Most patients experience a noticeable reduction in sweat and odour after a single treatment. Clinical studies report an average sweat reduction of up to 82%. For those who desire even greater results, a second session can be performed after a few months.
An added benefit reported by many patients is a reduction in underarm hair, thanks to the destruction of hair follicles in the treated area. This makes MiraDry not only a sweat and odour solution but also a grooming enhancement. However, the real benefits of MiraDry lie in its unmatched sweat reduction capabilities.
Unlike chemodenervation (nerve-blocking injections), used also as anti-wrinkle injections, which only temporarily block sweat glands and require ongoing treatments every few months, MiraDry provides lasting results. Antiperspirants and sweat pads offer limited relief and may contain harsh chemicals that irritate the skin. Surgical options, such as sweat gland removal or nerve surgery, are invasive and come with more significant risks and recovery times.
MiraDry is the only non-invasive, clinically proven treatment that permanently eliminates sweat and odour glands. With no surgical incisions, minimal downtime, and immediate results, it stands out as the superior choice.
If you suffer from excessive underarm sweating or have been diagnosed with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, you may be an ideal candidate for MiraDry. It’s also suitable for individuals who are simply looking to reduce underarm sweat and odour for lifestyle or cosmetic reasons.
Patients who are frustrated by the daily inconvenience of antiperspirants, frequent clothing changes, or social discomfort often find lasting relief through this safe and effective treatment.
MiraDry has been performed over 300,000 times worldwide and has an excellent safety record. The most common side effects include swelling, tenderness, bruising, or temporary numbness in the underarm or upper arms. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days to weeks.
Because the sweat and odour glands do not regenerate, the effects of the treatment are permanent. The rest of your body continues to sweat normally, and your natural cooling process is not compromised.
I was quite nervous to have the Miradry procedure done but Cliodhna put me at ease straight away. Very professional but also very personable. The procedure itself was straightforward and the time seemed to pass very quickly

I had a fantastic experience at Venus Medical! I’ve been self conscious about my underarm sweating for years and didnt feel there was a solution. I’ve seen a dramatic reduction in sweat after miraDry and am looking forward to seeing the results after my second appointment yesterday! Cliodhna was brilliant, very professional and reassuring. My only hope is that miraDry will be become more well known in Ireland so others will know there is an effective and long lasting solution. Thank you!

Venus Medical was Ireland’s first MiraDry clinic and has incredible success treating patients with problematic underarm sweating and primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Developed by Miramar Labs in California and FDA-cleared, MiraDry uses microwave energy to target and destroy sweat glands. Once the skin under the arms is numbed with injections, the MiraDry tip is applied to the skin.
The skin is cooled externally for protection while energy passes through the skin. Vibrations at the level of the sweat glands, at the junction of the skin and subcutaneous fat, cause selective interference and heating of eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. Sweat glands die and don’t come back.
The MiraDry protocol at Venus Medical is designed to yield maximum results, using tumescent local anaesthesia and high power energy delivery. Patients experience immediate dryness with minimal downtime. As well as curing axillary hyperhidrosis permanently, MiraDry is popular with men and women who simply wish to sweat less, or reduce body odour.
Yes. The treatment only affects about 2% of your body’s sweat glands. Sweating in other areas continues as normal to help regulate your temperature.
Many patients achieve excellent results after just one session. At Venus Medical we recommend two treatments for optimum results, spaced apart by about three months. A very small number of patients decide to have a third treatment to further reduce any residual sweating, but this is typically no required.
No. There is no evidence to suggest that MiraDry can result in compensatory hyperhidrosis. This is a documented complication of endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy—a surgical procedure that damages nerve pathways. MiraDry only works locally in the armpits.
We’ll provide some ice packs immediately after the procedure with instructions on icing for the first 1-2 days to reduce swelling.
MiraDry is designed specifically to target underarm sweating. If you have excessive sweating all over your body, you can discuss with your GP the need to rule out any cause of secondary generalised hyperhidrosis.
Yes. MiraDry is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be both safe and effective.
Most patients notice a reduction in underarm hair growth, which is an added benefit of the treatment. Hair that remains is often finer and sparser.
