About Excessive Underarm Sweating

Millions suffer from excessive underarm sweat. It’s frustrating, embarrassing and a nuisance.

Excessive underarm sweat is a daily struggle, and it can interfere with nearly every aspect of your life.

Excessive underarm sweat can cause anxiety at work, embarrassment in relationships and social settings, and frustration over constantly ruining clothes with sweat stains. Excessive sweat can also have devastating effects on your emotional well-being and self-image, and impact how you feel about yourself and even how others perceive you. In fact, in a large consumer survey, people said that underarm sweat was more embarrassing to them than being overweight, having acne, cold sores or dandruff.1

If you are bothered by your underarm sweat, you’re not alone.  It’s more common than you think.  In fact, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. is bothered by their underarm sweat.2

If you have excessive underarm sweat, you may be suffering from a medical condition known as axillary hyperhidrosis. Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the underarm sweat glands are overactive, producing much more sweat than is needed to cool the body. If you think you may suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis, talk to your physician, and ask if the miraDry procedure is right for you.
