Miradry Has Eliminated My Bromhidrosis! - Atlanta, GA

Alovely22, Again, I hate to hear of another person dealing with this issue. I understand exactly what you mean when you say you feel "alone in the struggle." Trust me, there are many who suffer silently. If you decide to proceed with Miradry I hope it helps your situation. I've had both "rounds" and I am still happy with the results. Keep us posted on your decision and progress. Good luck!

bummed_out2, Sorry to read that you've had to deal with bromhidrosis too. I totally understand how you feel! It sounds like you think the first Miradry procedure was somewhat helpful to your condition, which is great! Progress, right? Hang in there and monitor your progress closely. For example, does one armpit sweat or smell more than the other? Is the odor isolated to one area of the armpit? This will help you give feedback to the technician during your 2nd treatment. I noticed that a small amount of odor and sweating returned to my right armpit @ two weeks before my second treatment. I pinpointed the "activity" to the crease of the armpit, so we took care to keep that area positioned correctly the second time so that the handpiece could get better suction. I think it worked. You mentioned lumps and numbness... I wouldn't worry about that, unless the situation gets worse. I think it took about 5 weeks for all of my lumps and swelling to completely disappear. I sincerely hope that round two will give you the results you want! Please keep us posted on your progress.

I had the first of two Miradry procedures in December 2012 for this very reason - strong armpit odor. My result has been very good. If you'd like, feel free to read my story under the Miradry "stories" area. Good luck!

Hi Bestrest! My odor was basically a strong, musty smell. I was interested in Miradry for the specific purpose of destroying my apocrine sweat glands, and it seems to have worked. I never experienced an overwhelming amount of perpiration under my arms prior to Miradry - just odor. I hesitate to say that the issue was 100% resolved, but I can honestly say that the first treatment was 98% effective for me. I will have my second treatment soon. I completely understand what you are saying about people commenting or reacting to you or the odor. The sniffing, frowning and "arm crossing" reactions that I used to receive from other people on a regular basis have stopped since I had the procedure. I also understand your note about not wearing scented deodorant. Any type of perfume-y products always magnified my odor. I always wore (and sometimes now wear) unscented Mitchum antiperspirant for that very reason. This product was minimally effective if I washed my underarm area and reapplied the antiperspirant throughout the day. Miradry could possibly help your condition. Feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss in more detail. Good luck!

Yes - the lumps are finally gone. I noticed improvement each week, but it took about 6 weeks for all of the lumps to disappear. I never thought to stretch the skin, but that sounds like a good idea. Still very, very little sweating and no odor. :) Glad this procedure is available!
