Will the Underarm Look Completely Normal After Miradry Heals?

Great question.  The swelling and 'lumpy' feeling should subside after a few weeks.  Many of our patients do experience significant hair reduction.  Several patients with large amounts of underarm hair have reported a 50-70% reduction after the first visit. 

Dear NYCBOY,

After undergoing miraDry, most patients notice an immediate improvement in underarm sweating, along with some swelling, bruising, redness, skin thickening, and numbness of the underarms that usually lasts a few weeks.

The vast majority of patients have completely normal appearing underarms after recovery, possibly with some thinning or loss of underarm hair (which many consider to be an additional benefit). There is a very small risk of developing an infection, rash, or hyperpigmentation, which are treatable.

Hope this helps.

Warmest wishes,
