The Falcone Center
Menopause brings many changes — and for many women, one of the most frustrating is excessive sweating. While hot flashes and night sweats are widely discussed, underarm sweating and odor can also increase during perimenopause and menopause due to hormonal fluctuations.
If you’re looking for a long-term solution that doesn’t involve hormone replacement therapy (HRT), miraDry® at The Falcone Center offers a safe, non-invasive way to significantly reduce underarm sweat and odor — often permanently.
Why Does Menopausal Sweating Happen?
During menopause, estrogen levels decline and fluctuate. This affects the hypothalamus — the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. As a result, your body can overreact to small temperature changes, triggering excessive sweating.
While many women focus on hot flashes, underarm sweating can also increase during this time, leading to:
- Embarrassing sweat stains
- Persistent underarm odor
- Frequent clothing changes
- Anxiety in professional or social settings
- Decreased confidence
For women who cannot or prefer not to use hormone replacement therapy, finding a targeted solution for underarm sweating can be life-changing.
What Is miraDry®?
miraDry® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that permanently reduces underarm sweat and odor. It uses precisely controlled microwave energy to eliminate sweat and odor glands in the underarm area.
Once those glands are treated, they do not grow back.
Unlike topical treatments or medications, miraDry® addresses the source of the problem — not just the symptoms.
How miraDry® Helps with Menopausal Sweating
Menopause may be temporary, but the impact on confidence can be significant. miraDry® can:
✔ Significantly reduce underarm sweat
✔ Reduce underarm odor
✔ Reduce underarm hair (as a bonus benefit)
✔ Provide long-lasting results
✔ Eliminate the need for daily antiperspirant
And best of all — no hormones are involved.
What to Expect During Treatment
At The Falcone Center, your comfort and safety are our priority.
- Consultation – We evaluate your concerns and determine if miraDry® is right for you.
- Local Anesthesia – The underarm area is numbed for comfort.
- Treatment – The device delivers controlled energy to the sweat glands.
- Recovery – Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Treatment typically takes about one hour. Many patients achieve excellent results after one session, though some may benefit from a second treatment.
Why Choose miraDry® Instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy can help manage some menopausal symptoms, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. Some women:
- Prefer to avoid systemic hormone therapy
- Have medical conditions that prevent HRT use
- Want a localized solution for underarm sweating
- Are seeking a permanent option
miraDry® provides a targeted treatment — focused solely on the underarms — without affecting your overall hormonal balance.
Comprehensive Q&A: Menopausal Sweating & miraDry®
Q: Is menopausal sweating permanent?
Menopausal symptoms can last several years, but underarm sweating may persist even after other symptoms improve. miraDry® offers a long-term solution.
Q: How permanent are the results of miraDry®?
Sweat glands do not regenerate after treatment. Results are considered permanent.
Q: Is miraDry® safe?
Yes. miraDry® is FDA-cleared and has been safely performed in thousands of patients worldwide.
Q: Does the treatment hurt?
The underarms are numbed before treatment. Most patients describe feeling pressure or warmth during the procedure.
Q: How much sweat reduction can I expect?
Many patients experience an average sweat reduction of over 80% after treatment.
Q: Will I still sweat elsewhere?
Yes. The body has millions of sweat glands. The underarms contain only about 2% of them, so eliminating those glands does not impair overall sweating.
Q: Is there downtime?
You may experience swelling and tenderness for a few days. Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two.
Q: Can miraDry® help with odor too?
Yes. Odor glands (apocrine glands) are also treated, significantly reducing underarm odor.
Q: Am I a good candidate during menopause?
Most healthy women experiencing increased underarm sweating during menopause are excellent candidates. A consultation at The Falcone Center will confirm eligibility.
Q: Does insurance cover miraDry®?
Because it is considered a cosmetic procedure for most patients, it is typically not covered by insurance. Our team can discuss pricing and financing options.
