How long does it take for swelling due to MiraDry treatment to go down? It's been four days.

I have co-authored a book on Miradry and continue to see very positive results with the treatment. Swelling is normal, but I advise my patients to take some ibuprofen and Swell X after treatment to help with swelling. In addition, lymphatic massage with Plato's Scar Serum may help. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

It may take several weeks for the swelling to resolve.  You can massage the area and this may help with the swelling some.  Also taking Ibuprofen my help with the swelling.

First, congratulations on your miraDry treatment. It’s very common and normal to experience some degree of swelling post miraDry. It’s expected to dissipate over 3 to 5 days post treatment but occasionally we have seen mild swelling persist for 7 to 10 days. You may also experience swollen lymph nodes. If the swelling is more localized like what you are describing, it’s possible that’s swollen lymph nodes. If you are not sure at all, have your treating physician take a look. Good luck on your sweat reduction!Sincerely,

Hi there! Congratulations on saying goodbye to sweat and odor. Swelling of the underarms following the miraDry treatment is completely normal. You can expect for this to subside between 2-3 weeks. Cold compresses and ibuprofen will help with the swelling significantly. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Swelling in the underarm area after MiraDry treatment, on average, subsides within 2-3 weeks.  Be patient.  Cold compresses, gentle massage and ibuprofen can help reduce swelling and discomfort.  The saline solution used during the numbing process should be absorbed within a few hours after treatment.  Best Wishes,

The swelling usually takes about two weeks to resolve. If you sleep on several pillows, or in a recliner, swelling will go down more quickly.  Also, light massage can be very helpful in helping your body to resorb the fluid.
