I did the Miradry for the first time 5 days ago - everything went well. From day 3 the swelling / fluid started on my chest traveling to my abdomen / waist, now it's around my penis (penile edema) I know this to do with the gravity, but is it normal for it to go all the way down? I apply ice on all swollen areas and take ibuprofen (once a day) and bromelain (twice a day) I'm really worried. I did the treatment in a city 500km away from home. I would appreciate your advises doctors.

Answer: Day 5 after my first miraDry treatment and swelling / fluid is all over my torso
I have not had a patient require more than 2 treatments of MiraDry for underarm sweating. In clinical studies, MiraDry has been shown to permanently reduce sweating by 82%, and I have had excellent results treating my patients with MiraDry for underarm sweating.
One important fact...
MiraDry has been FDA cleared to treat sweating in the armpit area. There are studies with a different handpiece to assess treatment of sweating in other areas of the body but this has not come out yet. For now, Botox injections can be tried to help sweating in groin area.
