Dr. W.Y. Chung saw me for syringomas condition about a year ago. I’m so thankful. This Dr. was so accurate with laser burning out almost 50 syringomas in 2 sessions. The healing process was intense and had dark pigment (common on my skin type) but this Dr. prescribed me a hydroquinone cream. I had this condition for so long and visited so many Drs. but only this Dr. helped this much. 100% exceeded my expectations. Will come again when I need this treatment.
Hello! Just started my Invisalign journey a couple days ago. I am on Tray one of 30. I'm excited to get this process going and get a beautiful smile. The first few days have been pretty painful. Bearable, but painful. Hoping the pain subsides in a few days. I have my next two sets of trays with me and when I go back to my ortho at the 6 week mark I will get my 12 attachments and my other trays. I have crowding and an overbite which will cause me to wear bands once I get to around my 12 week time frame. Hoping to see some progress in the next couple months! I attached some photos of my first trays. Updated on 6 Jul 2017: Hey y'all. So just this past Monday I got all my attachments put on. 10 on top, 8 on bottom. And started Tray 4. It is much tighter and more painful taking the trays on and off now that I have to attachments on, but I'm hoping that will get better as I get used to the attachments. I am switching trays out every week now so I am hoping to start seeing faster progress, at this point I don't see much of a difference yet. But I know they are working cause my teeth are always sore. I attached some pictures just to keep track. I'll post again in a few weeks and hopefully will have some progress to report. Updated on 3 Aug 2017: Hibyall, currently on tray 8 of my 27 active trays. Definitely feeling some changes to my bite at this point. I can see minor changes, my husband says he sees a difference. I don't see a whole lot by I can feel a difference so I know they are working! Still switching every week. Not really any pain anymore other than a tiny bit of soreness after each new tray, but they loosen up quite a bit by day 4. Excited to keep seeing more progress. Hope everyone else's journey is going well also! (Not looking forward to starting rubber bands in October) Updated on 7 Sep 2017: Hi y'all. On tray 13 now. Really starting to see some changes now. Almost half way done woo!!
I would recommend follow up with the physician who treated you. This may be an infection (abscess) which can occur after miraDry. If it is an abscess, it will need to be incised and drained.
Yes,bad body odor can occur after about 1-2 weeks post miradry. It will take about 7-10days for it to go away. I would not be too concerned. Once it resolves, it should not occur again. We have treated over 200 patients in our clinic and this is a common occurrence. Hope this helps!
I would advise you to get a starch-iodine test to see how much you are sweating from the treated areas. It is unusual that you would continue to sweat excessively after 2 miraDry treatments. I have noticed that in humid environments there can be perceived sweating from the treated armpits but in reality, the sweating is due to the surrounding untreated areas. In our practice, we have treated over 125 patients and majority of them have stated that miraDry was greater than 80% effective with only 1 treatment.
I would recommend a consultation with a vein specialist who dedicated to the the treatment of varicose veins and who is a diplomate of the American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine. Proper evaluation and diagnosis by the vein specialist will lead to proper treatment. Treatment procedures can range from injection with a sclerosant, laser, micro-phlebectomy or a combination of all three. There is minimal downtime post-procedure.
Sometimes the pain can last up to 2 weeks. Compression stockings help post procedure. In our practice, we recommend 2 weeks of compression stocking wear.
