Is this much swelling common for Mira Dry? (Photo)

Question

Today I got the Mira dry treatment. I'm not sure if the swelling is considered excessive! Please let me know. The bumps are tender to the touch and hurt when I lift my arms.

thank you for your question and photo.It is normal to have swelling after the procedure. The bulk of the swelling should go down in a few days and fully settle after a couple of weeks.

Hi, thank you for your question! Yes, unfortunately there can be great deal of swelling after a Miradry treatment. The swelling is due to the injectable numbing but should subside within a few days.If the swelling does not subside within the week I would recommend following up with your provider.

Swelling after Miradry treatment is very common. In fact I say that almost everyone will get swelling after treatment. It will resolve over a period of time.

Swelling after the treatment is normal and will resolve over the next several days to weeks. Ice and Ibuprofen will help with the discomfort and swelling.
