I have a sever issue with needles. If I am 5'3 and 120 pounds how many injections should I expect to receive and is there an alternate way to numb the area without the use of needles?
Answer: Sedation for miraDry Thank you for your question. Using topical anesthesia prior to the local needle injection can make a big difference. Patients that are very anxious and needle-phobic, I can prescribe oral medications that reduces the anxiety level as an additional measure for comfort.

Answer: Get an anti-anxiety pill from your doctor prior to the procedure The miraDry® system eliminates the underarm sweat glands, and the sweat glands don’t grow back after treatment. This results in a dramatic and lasting reduction of embarrassing underarm sweat. In a clinical study, patients experienced an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat. You should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after a single miraDry® treatment. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person. 80% of our patients need only one treatment. Secondary effects include underarm hair and odor reduction. Ask your physician if this procedure is right for you.You should feel one injection, then nothing.

Answer: Number of injections with miraDry The classic approach would require a few dozen injections. But as you can see from the previous responses there are many ways to dramatically decrease the number of injections and to help make those few injections that are truly necessary as comfortable as possible.
