Will you also say, "miraDry works"?


As a Fort Myers cosmetic surgeon offering the miraDry procedure, I have been impressed by the number of positive reviews I have read on RealSelf.com concerning the procedure as performed in other communities as well. Here's an example:

"I just wanted to say that though I am 3 months past my first procedure and will have my second later this month, the results of the first visit alone have significantly enhanced my quality of life. My sweating has decreased 90% and I feel like a new man.


Like many others who have suffered silently fo (sic) so many years (20+ years for me), words simply cannot express the relief of having this burden lifted.

My overall anxietly (sic) level is a fraction of what it used to be, so aside from not sweating, the freedom to wear whatever I like - on top of the relief - is also incredibly satisfying. I simply cannot say enough.

No the $2,900 I paid (in Atlanta) was not cheap, but it was still well worth it - even for just the results of the first visit. My biggest apprehension was not the cost but the fear of it not working or suffering from side effects. I'm confident that after the second visit I'll be 99% sweat free. I can assure anyone reading this that MIRADRY WORKS!!

I did experience the swelling, soreness, "hickies" and a slight degree of discomfort during the anesthesia and once it wore off, but again - I feel the cost/discomfort vs benefit and increased quality of life is a NO BRAINER.

The Physician's Assistant at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta (coincidententally her name was Mara) who performed the procedure had only done it 5 times prior, but did a fantastic job. It is not rocket science and I feel it is almost impossible to do any serious damage with the machine or with the technology (I'm an electrical engineer and researched the technical aspects thoroughly). This technology is commonly used in other areas of medicine. This is simply a specialized application.

Again, my advice to anyone reading this - if you are suffering as I was, do not hesitate. 
Life is short = )."


I  agree. I have seen so much success with miraDry that I highly recommend it if you have a problem with excessive underarm sweating. As with anything, however, it is not 100% perfect, not 100% without discomfort and not 100% effective  (would settle for 86% effective?). Make an appointment for a 100% free consultation with me and we'll talk about what you could expect as an individual.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treated permenently

I am proud to be one of the first doctors in the U.S. to offer the miraDry® Procedure, a new, break-through treatment option that provides a safe and lasting solution for excessive underarm sweat, a debilitating condition also known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis.


The miraDry Procedure delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to the area under the arm where the sweat glands reside, and heats and eliminates the sweat glands. Since sweat glands do not regenerate, results are lasting.  The procedure is non-invasive with little to no downtime, so patients can go about their normal routines after treatment. To maximize results, the full treatment plan requires two procedures. In Southwest Florida, hyperhidrosis procedures are performed by specially trained staff in Dr. Robert J. Brueck's Fort Myers out-patient facility or at All-Inclusive Medi-Spa. The miraDry Procedure takes approximately one hour.


Primary axillary hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which more underarm sweat is produced than is needed to cool the body. Millions of Americans suffer from excessive underarm sweat, and often suffer silently—ashamed, frustrated and embarrassed because excessive underarm sweat can interfere with many aspects of everyday life. For many, this condition is a constant struggle that causes anxiety at work, embarrassment in relationships and social settings, and avoidance of leisure activities.


"Excessive underarm sweat can be debilitating. It can have a huge impact on someone’s lifestyle and quality of life," said Dr. Brueck, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  "I often see patients who are looking for more effective options to treat this condition. The miraDry Procedure eliminates sweat glands in the underarm safely and non-invasively, so people can expect lasting results and stop excessive underarm sweat from interfering with their lives."


Other treatment options, such as Botox injections, are designed to temporarily disable the sweat glands, or involve invasive surgery which contains inherent risks.  Only miraDry provides a lasting solution with a non-invasive procedure.
