As someone who is very athletic, but not a big sweater, I heard about the MiraDry and thought that it must be great to not have to worry about deodorant ever again since it gets rid of only 2% of your sweat glands. Dr. Aboolian did a MiraDry treatment on me. He is a very caring doctor and funny to talk to while you are having the procedure done, which you need because it can be painful! But I am a wimp. If it hurts, tell him to numb you more. I took a painkiller beforehand and watched my friend get it done, and then took another as it looked very painful and I was up next. My friend said it wasn’t that bad and he was glad to save money on dry cleaning. It is worth it. You need to follow their advice about icing, massaging, etc. It is better to do in the summer when you can wear tank tops as clothes might irritate it. I did get a second treatment, about 6 months apart, because I noticed some nervous sweat when something was upsetting. Now that it has been another 3 months post procedure, my underarms are sweat-free! Also, there can be tingling for months, and it can look swollen for a while, but it all goes away. Just relax. No one is looking at your armpits. I did a yoga class right after and saw my armpits in the mirror and thought they looked gross, but my friend said she didn’t notice. So, enjoy being sweat free. Also, since I am still athletic, I found Native deodorant to use if I were concerned about doing a 4-hour hike and it smells good and is non-toxic since I was also concerned about chemicals in regular deodorants, but prior to MiraDry, I felt like natural ones don’t really work.
