Even though I had this done today, I am very comfortable with how things are progressing with my recovery. I won't know yet how well it will work for me personally, but I feel very hopeful.
The procedure went smoothly and exactly as I expected based on prior research. The doctor amd his staff are all very friendly. Dr. Carter has excellent bedside manner and was able to put me at ease. I will definitely go back to his office for other cosmetic services such as botox and seriously considering 'vanquish ME.' I've even got my husband interested in checking out what's available for him there :)
Overall, great experience and I will recommend to anyone who will listen to me!!

I feel almost no soreness amd swelling has almost completely subsided. I have not sweat at all. There is a little redness that hasn't completely cleared and some random lumps.
I am more than happy with my results. If I have to get the second round, I would not hesitate at all.

Pretty much back to normal besides some small lumps that are sore if pushed on. That bruise is unrelated to the procedure.
Sweating significantly reduced, but not completely eliminated. I may consider a second treatment. I'm undecided as of now. Will see if sweating level stays the same or increases.
I have not tested antiperspirant yet. I generally use lume even after the miradry to completely eliminate any possible odor from what little sweating I do have at the moment... odor from bacteria digesting body fluids/skin cells/sweat not from the odor glands that are removed.
