Swelling, soreness and bruising are common post miraDry
Most patients experience swelling, soreness and bruising post-procedure. However, those side effects should be manageable with the use of ice packs & ibuprofen. You should be able to return to work, provided it’s not vigorous exercising.

Yes you can return!
Most patients go to work afterward. The area can be slightly sore for one to three days and some swelling can be expected. However, this should not preclude normal activities.

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.
