I just had a miradry treatment 9 days ago. the swelling has subsided a bit, but I still have lumps. I have also started sweating again, not as much as I did before the treatment, but it gets a bit moist when I do physical work. Should I resume using my antiperspirant? What do you suggest I do? Thanks for the help.

Answer: Sweating after MiraDry It is possible to have some sweating after a miraDry treatment, especially when you are exercising. The protocol/technique that your provider used is very important in determining whether or not you will need a second treatment. With the new protocol most people require only one treatment, unless they were sweating very heavily prior to treatment. With the old protocol most people required a second treatment.Good Luck!Dr. Shah

Answer: The miraDry procedure for axillary hyperhidrosis Sweating early on after the miraDry is not uncommon.The lumpiness will go away after approximately 4 weeks.You will sweat some when you exercise. You should not seat much if the procedure is/was successful.Depending on the technique used, you may or may not need a second procedure.Technique is very important with the miraDry procedure. 86% of my patients require only a SINGLE miraDry procedure because I always do the procedure using level 5 energy settings and I perform a very thorough procedure going over the entire treatment areas at least twice.In the last 2 years (2014 and 2015), our aggregate data showed that 14% required a second procedure. In 2015, all of my patients required only a SINGLE procedure.I have been doing miraDry since May 2011. Wait another 2.5 months, and at that time you can decide whether or not you need a second procedure as recommended by the company (Miramar) that developed this device. It is too early now to determine whether or not you need a second procedure. If the area is healing nicely, then you can start to use a deodorant and/or an antiperspirant for residual moisture.Read my ebook about the miraDry on the link below.BestDr. Karamanoukian
