Let's chat!

WHAT IS THERMIDRY?

If you are looking for a way to treat excessive sweating without the use of neurotoxins or surgery, then ThermiDry is your best option. It is an effective, nonsurgical, minimally invasive treatment to eliminate excessive sweating. Perspiration is the mechanism that your internal thermostat uses to regulate your body temperature. The moisture that forms under the arms evaporates and cools your skin. It happens any time your temperature is raised, whether by heat, activity, or by being nervous. Those with hyperhidrosis often suffer from overactive sweat glands, regardless of external circumstance or activity.

Eliminate Excessive Sweating with ThermiDry in Reston VA

At WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima Ali brings the latest innovation in non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including the groundbreaking ThermiDry treatment. If you struggle with excessive underarm sweating (also known as axillary hyperhidrosis), this advanced solution offers a long-lasting and minimally invasive way to regain control and confidence.

What Is ThermiDry?

ThermiDry is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to target and disable overactive sweat glands beneath the skin. Unlike topical antiperspirants or neurotoxin injections, ThermiDry provides a longer-lasting solution by addressing the root cause—without affecting your daily activities or requiring significant downtime.

Why Choose ThermiDry?

Excessive underarm sweating can be more than a nuisance—it can disrupt your daily life, affect your wardrobe choices, create social anxiety, and even interfere with professional interactions. ThermiDry offers:

  • Non-invasive technology: No incisions or general anesthesia required

  • Minimal discomfort: Local anesthesia ensures comfort during the procedure

  • Long-term relief: Many patients experience permanent reduction in sweat production

  • Quick recovery: Return to most daily activities within 24 hours

  • Safe and FDA-cleared: Proven technology with minimal risks

How Does ThermiDry Work?

The ThermiDry procedure involves the use of a tiny probe inserted just below the skin under local anesthesia. This probe delivers controlled RF energy directly to the sweat glands in the underarm region, effectively disabling them. The result? A significant reduction in perspiration—without damaging the surrounding tissues.

At WellMedica in Reston VA, the treatment is performed by board-certified aesthetic physician Dr. Dima Ali, known for her expertise in non-surgical aesthetic medicine and her commitment to patient care.

What to Expect During Your ThermiDry Appointment

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Dima will assess your condition and determine if you are a good candidate for ThermiDry.

  2. Preparation: On the day of your treatment, a local anesthetic is applied to ensure a painless experience.

  3. Procedure: The ThermiDry treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes per underarm.

  4. Recovery: Mild swelling or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal routines almost immediately.

Is ThermiDry Right for You?

ThermiDry is ideal for patients who:

  • Struggle with embarrassing underarm sweat or odor

  • Want a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures

  • Have not had success with prescription antiperspirants or botulinum toxin injections

  • Desire long-term results with minimal maintenance

It is particularly effective for those diagnosed with axillary hyperhidrosis, but even those with general discomfort from sweating can benefit.

  • You are tired of frequently changing your clothes.
  • You are looking for a toxin-free and natural sweating solution.
  • You are tired of sweat stains on your shirts or dresses.

Typically, only one treatment is required but some patients will require a repeat treatment for long term results. ThermiDry treatment has been shown to last over 2 years on many patients. Individual results vary.

The cost of ThermiDry starts at $2,900. There are a variety of factors that determine overall price. To ensure that your ThermiDry procedure is affordable, we accept various payments methods including special financing plans.

Dr. Dima Ali may use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout treatment, as the tiny ThermiDry probe is inserted underneath the skin and moved to the sweat glands. The area is then heated with radiofrequency energy to block the nerves that disable the sweat glands. To guide the procedure and ensure skin safety, thermal image guidance is used during the procedure.

After treatment, there is little to no downtime and patients are typically able to resume their daily activities. Scarring does not typically occur after treatment, even though a small incision is made for the insertion of the ThermiDry probe. The results from ThermiDry are effective immediately, as the sweat glands are instantly disabled. Follow up appointments are generally scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year.
