MiraDry results in mild swelling and moderate discomfort for 2-3 days
After the numbing medication wears off from the 1-hour in-office miraDry procedure, you will notice mild to moderate swelling and discomfort.

Taking ibuprofen and icing the area for at least 24 hours can help to reduce the downtime.

Minimal downtime from MiraDry treatment for underarm excess sweating
Almost everyone with office/desk job should be able to return to work the very next morning after MiraDry treatment for underarm excess sweating or hyperhidrosis. Sometimes, one may experience mild swelling and nonspecific sensitivity in the areas that are treated.
