Thank you for your question. I often recommend that you wait a few days before you resume normal activities. It is OK to go to the gym really soon afterwards, however you will feel like your armpits are more bloated and hot. After a few days, you can go back to normal exercise at a graduated pace.
Yes! You can exercise between MiraDry treatments. You should wait about 48 to 72 hours before exercising. You will sweat but not as much from the underarms. The typical patient in our practice gets about a 75 to 82% response from a single treatment.Best wishes, Dr. Aldo
After your treatment, you will want to rest your arms for a few days. This is mainly for your comfort and to reduce the amount and duration of swelling. Exercise will not affect the treatment results.
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 short-term altered sensation of the underarm skin or upper arms. This will gradually disappear. If any of these side effects occur, we recommend avoiding strenuous activities requiring use of your arms until they have subsided.
I am a leading expert in Miradry treatments and have co-authored a book on the subject. If you are planning Miradry, you may want to reduce the risk of swelling and bruising by doing lower body exercises for a few days after. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
