How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

After 3 Months
I am now eligible for the second treatment after 3 months. No pain or swelling present. About a 80% reduction on most days and 50% reduction on other rare and random days. Have had a couple of times I've seen Silver Dollar sized wet spots on my shirts but nothing too bad unless it's hot outside. I'm going to wait to see if I need the second treatment or not as its $1000 more. On hot days, its pretty bad, like only a 20% reduction but that's only if I'm exerting myself and I would consider it normal. I still wear deodorant/antiperspirant for the odor, daily. Overall, a lot less sweat but I want to see what happens when I wear a t-shirt under a sweater because that tends to heat things up a bit.
After two weeks
Much less swelling, almost none. There are a few lumpy spots that are sore but all of the numbness that persisted through the last two weeks is gone. Sweat reduced by 90%!! Awesome results so far. I didn't follow the ice/ibruprofen medicine because I found that the ice effect only lasted 15 minutes and I don't like taking NSAIDS, but these remedies may work better for most of you. I'll post again in two weeks with an update since this has really been the 'recovery phase'.

I had a huge problem sweating and decided to get it taken care of. I had 110 Lidocaine shots (55 each arm) and only about 4 hurt a little. I'm a guy and I'm a little bigger so that's why I had so many, but it really wasn't an issue. The technician was great! Out of about 60 total applications of the MiraDry microwave, 4 of them burned a bit on the left side but it went away as soon as the cooling started (no pain, no gain!). Nurse said it was probably the nerve - but it was a very small localized area. I regrettably decided to go with level 4 instead of level 5 after reading some of the reviews on here and next time I'll go level 5.
Updates:
Night of procedure: Numbness in armpits, swelling, zero sweat, no odor.
Day 1: Major swelling, used ice and Naproxen to combat, worked great, zero sweat, no odor, no numbness anywhere.
Day 2: Swelling is down considerably, but I know it can take up to 3-4 days for that to really happen. Sore. No numbness.
More updates to come. Picture is 2 days after procedure.

Nurse. Very helpful with questions and answers and great with the needles, which are very, very small. Spectacular job. Easier than I thought it would be.
