I had my first Miradry treatment almost 3 months ago. It may have helped my sweating by 10%. My sweat tends to be caused more by stress or nervousness. Machine was at level 3 and I felt a lot of pain during the treatment (8 or 9). The doctor tried a new way of giving the numbing injections and threaded it rather than doing it the normal way. I'm trying to decide if I should do another treatment. Will Miradry work on stress sweating? I am also worried about the pain. Is the pain normal?
Answer: Miradry treatments in Los Angeles Miradry is very effective and in some patients a second or third treatment may be necessary. I have co-authored a book on the subject and feel that Miradry offers patients a very viable solution. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Miradry and stress sweating You may want to get a second treatment. With Miradry, your sweat and odor glands are destroyed. Amazing treatment. And very safe. Not having to use deodorant is a very attractive idea to many especially with all of the concerns surrounding aluminum.Shouldn't be so painful either. Make sure they are using the new protocol which involves tumescent solution

Answer: Stress Sweating and Pain It is recommended that you proceed with a second treatment to get optimal results. Make sure you address these issues with your doctor before your second treatment. Your level pain may not be typical of this treatment so you should discuss the type of anesthesia that would work specifically for you with your doctor. Currently recommendations for anesthesia is a mixture of anesthetic and saline. This helps the anesthetic spread and creates space between the sub-q skin and deeper tissues. miraDry works by eliminating the sweat gland with microwave energy so it should permanently reduce armpit sweat, stress sweat included. Some pain, but not too much, is normal so if you feel high levels of discomfort during treatment inform your doctor.

Answer: Stress Sweating MiraDry should help stress sweating because it destroys the glands that produce the sweat no matter the cause. However if you continue to experience stress sweating a medication called propranolol may be used in low doses to block that "fight or flight" response your body feels in a stressful situation. Talk to your doctor to see if you might be a good candidate for propranolol. I think with regard to the MiraDry you may need a higher setting and you may need a different numbing technique. Maybe you should go back for a consult before your second procedure to discuss your options. One way to numb up is just serial puncture instead of fanning or threading. Maybe this would get you more even coverage of the area to be treated.
