First Miradry Treatment - New York, NY

Lidocaine injections were uccomfortable but tolerable.I was not iced prior to injections, as mentioned in other reviews. Left side needed more anesthetic. It is dry, but swollen. The right side BEGAN TO PERSPIRE IMMEDIATELY (15 min.) after leaving clinic. The setting was #2. Hoping last visit works.

I am not satisfied with the results. The final...

I am not satisfied with the results. The final visit did not work. After my right arm was treated, I began to feel a tingle as if sweat was producing. The nurse said it was water from the ice pack. She was treating my left arm, by then. A larger area should have been treated, and it wasn't. I weigh 115 lbs. I was treated with a level 2 during the 1st visit then finally a level 3. I don't think that I was treated by sweat level, but by body size. A wider area and stronger level should have been used from the beginning. The inner part closest to my breast is constantly sweating. I was offered a 3rd treatment for half price. I feel that I wasted time and money. I am going on vacation and I am nervous about ruining my new clothing and exposing my arms in sleeveless shirts. I just bought two boxes of SWEAT BLOCK antiperspirant, after spending $2550. Thank You Nurse- where was the Doctor(Board Certified!)

It has been a month and still no E-mail from sweatcheck@miramarlabs.com. Looking forward for $25 IMMEDIATE REWARD! I can use that to buy anti-perspirant deodorant!

The swelling has subsided. I am still sweating!...

The swelling has subsided. I am still sweating! What a disappointment. What a bummer.

Great review?

I explained to the nurse my degree of sweating, I used a powdered dry roll-on and the sweat stains were visible on my skin. The room was air conditioned, but the skin would not dry. That should have given her an idea of what number level to use . I'm slim and petite. Perhaps the number level was based on size.

You should have done a 3. Also the arm-pits are iced AFTER.
