I'm 14, and thinking about having MiraDry. I live in the UK. Would the needle for local anesthetic go into my armpit?

Asked By:Kiki 123 in Great Britain, GB

I have been suffering from excessive sweating of my underarms for a few years now. I have tried the limited amount of proscription deodorants and over the counter ones, but I have very sensitive skin so they irritate badly. I have just found MiraDry and was wondering: does my age affect the outcome, whats the cost (does my age come into it and that I live in the UK?), I hate needles they can make me almost faint (needles for the anesthesic, would they go into my underarm area and how many?).
