Are my armpits supposed to be very bruised after MiraDry procedure? (Photos)

Thank you for your question.  It appears that what you're experiencing is normal. After MiraDry Treatment, you can expect "hickey-like" marks from the suction as well as bruising and lumpiness.  Continue to ice for the first 72 hours, followed by warm compressions and massage to help with the lumpiness.  Check with your provider if you have any questions or concerns.  Usually swelling will diminish after 2-3 weeks.   Best Regards, Dr. Aldo :-)

What you're experiencing is normal. The suction on the miraDry, as well as the tumescent technique of your healthcare professional are the cause. The lumpiness is an expected outcome of the sweat and odor glands being destroyed, which is ultimately a good sign! You can keep up with the NSAIDs and ice, as well as, warm compresses and massage will also help the discomfort. Don't worry, your body will heal on it's own over 8 weeks. Be patient. #miradryaftereffects  #complications   #lumps

Hello,Bruising and swelling post MiraDry is common.  It is important to continue icing and start massaging the armpits to break down any scar tissue.  In our practice, we found it helpful to have patients come in for massages every few days.  We also recommend the following post procedure:- A non-prescription
anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen will reduce the normal
inflammation and discomfort that usually occurs for a few days after the
procedure- Keep your underarms
clean while they are healing from the procedure. Use gentle liquid soap to
cleanse the underarms twice a day.  - Avoid shaving until
the tenderness has subsided enough for your comfort level - Avoid applying
antiperspirant/deodorant within the first few days. Do not apply over any
broken skin, such as nicks from shaving. - Wear a loose top for
the next few days to prevent underarm irritation. Avoid vigorous
activity for the next few days- Apply an
over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to prevent infectionGood Luck!
