Typically,
patients may see a reduction in underarm sweat in as little as one
treatment.  In controlled clinical trials
between 70% and 90% of subjects saw a significant reduction in their underarm
sweat after an average of two treatments, and virtually all the subjects
achieved some reduction.

Common side effects we see in our office are: bruising, swelling, "lumpiness" and tenderness. These will usually subside within the first 2 weeks, but can last up to 6 weeks. You may also experience a decrease in your underarm hair, which for many of our patient is an added bonus. We commonly treat the swelling and tenderness with Ibuprofen and Tylenol, and tell our patients to ice on and off as much as possible for the first week. If at anytime you feel your symptoms worsening, please do not hesitate to re-visit your healthcare professional for evaluation and treatment.I hope this helps, be well.#sideeffects   #commonsymptoms   #miradry
