(Newswire.net — December 16, 2013) Beachwood, Ohio —
(Cleveland, OH) December 2013 – Dr. Steven A. Goldman of Beachwood Plastic Surgery now offers the miraDry® Procedure, a new in-office non-invasive treatment for excessive underarm sweat.
The miraDry Procedure is available in both the Beachwood and Westlake offices, located near Cleveland, OH, of board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Goldman. The treatment, which takes approximately one hour, sends heat directly to the sweat glands under the arm through electromagnetic energy that delivers heat to the affected areas. Once the glands have been heated to a certain point, they are unable to regenerate. Patients can receive this non-invasive treatment and return to work or normal daily activity immediately after the office visit.
Dr. Goldman remarks, “With little to no downtime, patients are now able to conquer the issue of underarm sweat in two simple treatments. This condition can be the source of immense anxiety and unnecessary discomfort. The miraDry Procedure is effective because it provides a lasting solution to this problem — one that has traditionally been dealt with through treatments producing short-lived results or even more invasive surgeries. We are very pleased with the ease in which the miraDry Procedure can be administered right here in our offices and the results our patients report.”
The miraDry procedure treats excessive sweating in Cleveland, or Axillary hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that is present in people who have overactive sweat glands. These glands are intended to perform a cooling function for the body; however, in many people, this function happens more frequently and unnecessarily than for others. Unusually abundant underarm sweat is an issue for many people (up to 3% of Americans) and it can interfere with countless daily activities and even life choices.
Approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration in 2011, the miraDry System performed clinical studies demonstrating that 90 percent of the trial participants reported that they were satisfied with the results and felt the treatments were effective. 120 patients participated in the study.
