I just got the miradry treatment done a week and three days ago but, why am I still sweating in my armpits?

Thank you for your question.It can take up to three months for everything to settle after the MiraDry procedure, occasionally people can have a small mount of sweat in the first few weeks and it can settle back down. Monitor it over the oncoming months and then you can evaluate and decide whether you will require further treatment.

MiraDry uses heat energy to target and destroy the sweat and odor glands in the underarms.  Once they are destroyed, they do not grow back.  Initially, patients may experience bruising and swelling (some describe as lumpiness) in the underarm area.  This typically subsides within the first few weeks after treatment.  Most patients see a 75-82% reduction in sweat after their first treatment.  The amount of improvement varies by individual. You should re-evaluate at 3 months to determine whether additional treatments are needed.  Those patients with severe hyperhidrosis may require additional treatments.   Make sure to follow-up with your provider to discuss your results and any additional treatments to help reduce the sweat even more. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo :-)

This is unusual because all of our patients are completely dry for at least the first few weeks after miraDry.  It may be from sweating outside of the treatment are.  It could also be that you were not treated on the highest setting.  You should follow up with the physician who performed the treatment.  You may need another treatment in a few months.
