Smell worse after 2nd Miradry?

Minniegirl
3 days post my 2nd miradry (level 5) and my bromhidrosis has actually increased. I now smell like raw onions whereas before I smelled like stale body odor. I am using antibacterial wash and deodorant as I'm having to go to work but the smell is still quite strong. This did not happen after first miradry. Why is the smell worse? Is this normal? Is this temporary? I had miradry done for odor only, I have no wetness.
