I just expected after first procedure to see some sweat reduction ... That's what made me nervous to do other but I scheduled for a week from now
Answer: Topical numbing should not affect the result Using topical numbing medication should not affect the result. However, you need to inform the physician who performs it. We do not recommend the patient apply anything on their own because this can increase the chance of overdosing on lidocaine. Most physician who use the newest guidelines and techniques use the tumescent technique, which uses a large volume of dilute lidocaine injected throughout the entire underarm. So you shouldn't need anything more than this. Once numbed with the tumescent technique, you should be treated on the highest level of 5 to get the best effect.

Answer: Topical anesthetic before treatment Applying topical Lidocaine combinations prior to treatment does not effect your Miradry treatment or results. It's impossible to say what may or may not be happening after your first treatment- there are many factors to consider. At what level were you treated? How long ago? Have you had a starch iodine test to see if you are sweating in some areas but not others? Talk to the provider that treated you prior to your 2nd treatment and find out what can be changed, if anything. Many patients that are excessive sweaters do require more than one treatment so don't be discouraged. Good luck.
