I'm an 18 year old female and a healthy college athlete, but have had hyperhidrosis since I was 12. I sweat excessively both during exercise and just sitting in class. I had MiraDry done last week and the procedure didn't hurt, but once the numbness wore off I was in severe pain which felt like burning. This lasted about 8 hours and over-the-counter painkillers didn't help. 3 days after the procedure I was sweating again. I was told to expect no sweating for at least a few weeks. Am I hopeless?
Answer: Hopeless... I'm sorry about your pain and experience so far with MiraDry. Generally speaking, pain is not too bad with this procedure, but I do like to prescribe Celebrex for a lot of my patients. One treatment should reduce 75 to 82 % of the sweating and you may need additional treatments to get drier. Always follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns.

Answer: Pain after miraDry Most of our Newport Beach miraDry® patients experience minimal downtime and return to their regular activities immediate following their treatment. You may experience some swelling, minor bruising and tenderness of the underarms, which should subside within a couple of weeks. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity requiring your arms until your symptoms have resolved. Some patients have altered sensation underarms for about 2-4 weeks. I would make an appointment with your miraDry professional for evaluation. #miraDry #pain #sweatingposttxBe well.

Answer: MiraDry and sweating Thank you for your question for sharing your experiences with us. miraDry is an excellent procedure to reduce sweating of the armpits. The efficacy does depend on technique, however in experienced hands, you can get outstanding results. It is hard to know what treatment since you had from your description. However, my experience, more aggressive treatments provide more effective results. I would give it a week or two for your swelling and symptoms to go down and then reassess and returns your provider if you have concerns.
