I had Miradry about 25 days ago. I still have lumps in both arms. My left arm healed way better than my right. My right arm-the tendon I believe- right above my armpit has this huge hard lump that also won't seem to go away and it hurts and theres a red looking pimple on it as well. Should I keep massaging it? Will this go away?
Answer: Lump with miradry? Thanks Ashley. Lumps and bumps are part of the normal healing process with MiraDry. I suggest you follow up with your doctor and be sure the larger one is normal healing and not an infectious process. Best, Dr. ALDO :)

Answer: Healing after miraDry You are describing the wound healing process. Some patients will get lumps and bumps, but these will resolve. If you have a "red looking pimple," please return to your provider. This may be a sign of an infection.

Answer: Lumpiness after miraDry The miraDry procedure is an incredibly effective way to reduce sweating (as well as odor and hair), but some patients find that their recovery can literally be a bit longer and bumpier than they had anticipated. Patients with thinner armpits tend to notice the lumpiness and banding more so than patients with thicker armpits. Gentle massage and stretching can help smooth and soften the armpit area, but it may take several weeks for your armpits to return to normal. I have had the miraDry myself, and I did have lumpiness and tight bands that weren't painful but took a while to get better. Sometime around 6-8 weeks after the procedure, things finally felt and looked completely normal again. If you're having painful lumps and noticing a redness or pimples on your skin, give your doctor's office a call to get it checked out. Hope this helps, Dr. Lim

Answer: Lumps after miraDry Lumps or nodularity in the underarm are normal after miraDry. However, there is a small chance of getting an infection that needs to be drained. For a large bump that is red and looks like a pimple in the middle, you have to see your provider to see if this needs to be treated and drained.

Answer: Experience counts for miraDry which is a physician or extended provider based invasive procedure Follow up with the treating physician and I hope it was a physician who did the procedure or a PA or NP under physician supervision.In our practice, 90% of our patients require only a SINGLE miraDry session. 1st session is $1500. if you need second or third, it is only $1000 per session for our patients. No one said it lasts only 2 years. I don't know where you got this information. One session of miraDry costs as much as one session of Botox, which only lasts 3 months.
