Miramar Labs, a global aesthetic company, announced it has received FDA clearance to market its miraDry System for the treatment of unwanted underarm hair, and permanent reduction of underarm hair of all colors. This announcement establishes miraDry as the only technology FDA cleared for the treatment of underarm hair of all colors as well as the permanent reduction of underarm sweat.
With this clearance, the company has announced the introduction of the miraSmooth treatment., which will launch in select markets beginning August of 2015.
Miramar Lab's proprietary miraWave technology –use of precisely controlled microwave energy - is the foundation of the miraDry System. The permanent reduction of hair of all colors using miraWave is a significant technological advancement in the hair removal industry. Unlike laser hair removal systems, microwave energy doesn't require a chromophore to be effective and therefore can be used on hair of all colors, including light colored hair, and is also not limited by an individual's skin color.
"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," commented Mr. Michael Kleine, CEO and President of Miramar Labs.
"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."
