Aesthetics firm Miramar Labs has announced that its miraDry System has received clearance from the US FDA for the treatment of unwanted underarm hair, and permanent reduction of underarm hair of all colors. According to Miramar Labs, the announcement establishes the system as the only technology FDA cleared for the treatment of underarm hair of all colors as well as the permanent reduction of underarm sweat.
"This approval further validates Miramar's unique technology in creating and addressing aesthetic markets that could not be fully satisfied with other energy platforms," commented Mr. Michael Kleine, CEO and President of Miramar Labs. "We believe the potential for microwave energy in aesthetics is exceptional. Miramar was the first company to receive clearance for axillary sweat reduction and we are now the only company with FDA clearance for permanent reduction of axillary hair of all colors. These are both tremendous market making opportunities in aesthetics."
"Based on the results we've seen using miraWave it's clear that microwave energy has a role to play in the long term hair reduction space," said Dr. Jeremy Brauer, Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. "Using this technology we've seen stable axillary hair reduction of approximately 70% regardless of color, and these results were based on a non-optimized treatment protocol. It will be exciting to see the increase in results given the protocol improvements we've made since then."
With this clearance, the company has announced the introduction of the miraSmooth treatment, which will be be made available in select markets beginning August.
