You are not dreaming, this is REAL! The latest unusual beauty trend is 'microwaving' your armpits because apparently cooking them can lead to a reduction in hair growth AND sweat.

MiraSmooth is a one-of-a-kind technology for helping your underarms look smoother than a baby’s butt.

It uses “precisely controlled” microwave energy to permanently reduce underarm hair of all colors (light, dark, etc.) and excessive underarm sweat.

Unlike regular lasers, the microwaves are essentially colorblind, which means they can be used on all skin tones.

*Note: According to MiraDry’s website, the black lines and markings on the armpit are temporary marks that help guide the treatment. Local anesthesia is also applied to the underarms to minimize pain.

“Using this technology we’ve seen stable auxillary hair reduction of approximately 70% regardless of color, and these results were based on a non-optimized treatment protocol,” he said in this press release.

However, there's been no long-term research to see the effect on the skin and on the body generally. It is advised therefore to be very careful about investing/using a treatment like this.
