Like most i've suffered from axillary hyperhidrosis since my mid 20's, but unlike most approximately 6 years ago I opted for the Micro ETS surgury. Unfortunately for me the results were less than satisfactory - not only did my axillary symptoms worsen, but it it actually triggered sweating in my... Read more

I have had hyperhidrosis since I was born (I recently turned 20.) I have been told I have very severe hyperhidrosis: underarms, hands, feet, groin, and legs. I'm glad my parents said no when I asked for ETS surgery in middle school, as I have heard bad things about it. After years of telling me... Read more

I suffered from extreme hyperhidrosis for the last 14 years. It started when I was about 17 years old. I worked as a waitress and I couldn't even put food or drinks on a table without this huge wet spot in everyone's face! Completely mortifying!!! It was suggested to me by a friend to put panty...

I scheduled my appointment for next Tuesday Jan. 22nd to get my first installment of miraDry done. I am excited but a little worried about the long term effects these high "microwave" energies have on the body but would like even a 50% reduction of underarm sweating. The people who wrote that...

Only if you have Hyperhidrosis can you truly understand the suffering associated with this condition. If you've ever done any of the following then you know what I mean. 1. Taken not just one, but two or three extra shirts to work every day. 2. Used the heater in your car to dry a shirt.... Read more

I am a 36 yr old mom of two. I have spent most of my adult life worried about covering up wet pits. 13 yrs in the army allowed me to cover it up pretty well in my uniform but not in my dress uniform. I have silently dealt with it and now that I am a civilian and in sales, I decided enough was... Read more

I just had MiraDry done this morning. I had a total of 37 shots in each arm pit. She did the procedure at a level three. I had no pain or hot spots as some have mentioned. I did feel some warm near my inner arm on my left side. Felt like a warm water bottle was on my arm. The lidocaine shots... Read more

I discovered the MiraDry procedure purely by accident on the internet when I was looking for options in treating my excessive underarm sweating. Like alot of folks suffering from Hyperhidrosis, anti-perspirants just didn't work. I wore dark or black clothing to work, particularly on days when I... Read more

Great experience. Surprised at first that the actual doctor wasn't doing the procedure but ended up being a good thing. The nurse that did the procedure was so nice and since it was an hour and she was next to me, it was better to have someone cool that you could hold a conversation with. Just... Read more

After reading all the great reviews for miraDry on this website, I decided to go for it myself. I have dealt with the embarrassment of excessive underarm sweating for as long as I can remember and have even tried the botox treatment once a few years ago.

Whole procedure took 1.5 hours. Initial shots were less painful than Botox shots, completely numbed the entire area. Feeling didn't come back until 6-7 hours later. Wand basically nukes your armpits and suction is painless. Much swelling and burning pain lasting first 24-48 hours. Advil was... Read more

The procedure was nearly pain free. Three or four times I felt pain I would rate as a 1 on a 1-10 scale, with each event lasting no more than a few seconds. The number of Lidocaine injections you receive will depend on your size. I am 6'2"/180lbs, and received about thirty-five injections... Read more

I've suffered from underarm sweating since I was 18. It's constantly hampered my ability to feel completely confident talking in a group of people, or out on a date talking to someone across the table. Eight years later, I believe I tried every prescription antiperspirant under the sun and... Read more
