Miradry - First Procedure April 13th, 2012 - Hermosa, Beach, CA

I've tried several times to update my procedure, but real self gets stuck, doesn't recognize my login or just doesn't get posted. So, I will try one last time. It is May 2013 and I am still sweat and odor free. I still highly recommend the procedure. I suggest you vet where you are going as I have heard some horror stories... Anyone in So Cal should go to see Dr. Karyn Grossman. Best of luck to all. Laurie

Try Kiehl's deodorant. It can be ordered on kiehls.com or Nordstrom - not sure if they do international delivery. It is odorless and painless. I know what you mean about the stinging and redness from the prescription deodorants. Kiehl's has zero side effects. It's like putting on baby lotion.

It's Oxybutynin CL 5 mg. Don't get the extended release, it doesn't work. It's basically the generic for ditropan. It does dry you up so it's important to stay well hydrated. Some people need eyedrops as well, but I don't. I have to take it as soon as I wake up on an empty stomach for it to work well. Then I typically take a 2nd dose midafternoon. My Doctor said I can take it at night, but I typically don't as I live in California and it's pretty cool here at night year round. Good luck - it saved my life. I can be in public without embarrassing facial sweating.

You may want to try Kiehl's deodorant. It comes in a tube like lotion and it is odorless and doesn't leave a residue. It dissolves into your skin like lotion. I have used it everywhere, my groin, back and face. It's amazing. I learned about it from other people on a hyperhidrosis website called verysweatybetty.com. It's a bit pricey, but I think it's absolutely worth it. When I put it on, I wash my hands because it's so drying. You can get it online at Kiehls.com or Nordstrom. Try it, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I have had the miradry procedure and have been sweat and odor free for months. I love it! But I do understand it's expensive for most people. Hopefully the price will come down as time passes. Best of luck to you.

At this time, it's only for the underarm area. Just FYI, it's about 15 rows and 5 spots across that they do to treat the underarm area only, and that is a pretty small area.
If they did have a clinical trial, I would probably be interested, however, most of my sweating is on the face, so I think I would take that under careful consideration ; )
But the back of my neck and torso, absolutely!
