Just a quick update on my MiraDry procedure:
2 1/2 years after my first treatment, I am very pleased with the outcome.
I continue to experience no underarm sweat, even after exercising.
The procedure was a 100% success. No scars, no side effects.
Thanks MiraDry!

I completed my second miraDry procedure in late November. The second procedure was similar to the first, as was the recovery. I experienced minimal swelling and pain post-procedure.
Pros: My underarms are completely free of sweat 100% of the time. Antiperspirant is no longer on my shopping list.
Cons: None. I wish I had done the miraDry procedure sooner.

Johnsmith, did your symptoms eventually subside as well? I posted a similar post-reaction response that my waist expanded noticeably 3 days after my Miradry procedure and it was jiggly. I wonder if that was due to a reaction from either the lidocane injections or the Miradry procedure itself. It's interesting that none of the doctors that responded to TomTom's question had any decent response to this type of reaction.

Don't freak out, it goes away after a week or so. Don't try to work out in order such physical activity exacerbates the symptoms; it's very weird. Anyhow, the symptoms will dissipate gradually on its own within two weeks. My symptoms were all gone after 8 or 9 days. My body is back to normal and most importantly no sweating a month after the procedure. Very happy so far.

I think you're right cuz I started working out 2 days after the procedure and the next day is when i notice the body change around the waist. I'll stop doing physical activity and wait another 7 - 10 days. Thanks for your advice.

Fosters, from a guy's perspective, I think I'm 95% sold on this. My biggest question that I can't find information on is whether or not you grew your armpit hair back at all in the area. I really don't want to be without any armpit hair in the long run. Temporarily I'm sure I wouldn't mind. Thanks in advance!

Hi Megan
How are things since the miradry? I mean any compensatory sweating at all. Any other side effects?

One week update:
I continue to be very pleased with the outcome of the procedure.
All swelling and bruising was gone by day four.
I have not experienced any underarm sweat since completing the procedure, including during vigorous exercise.
So far, the procedure has turned out exactly as my provider described.

I bet you are loving that things are staying dry at this point! Have you noticed any compensatory sweating? Other have mentioned it, so I would be curious to hear.

Megan-
I haven't noticed any increased perspiration elsewhere on my body.
The procedure appears to have done exactly what I had hoped it would do, with no side effects.

Hey guys I to have HH and was wondering if there was any way to get around the age requirement (parental consent??). I’ll be 16 in a few weeks and I’m sure some of you know how it is to be a teenage girl with HH. Please help. Thanks

Though it doesn't refer specifically to Miradry, I think this Q&A might still help with your question, as it is dealing with an elective procedure:
How Old Do I Have to Be to Get Rhinoplasty Without Parental Consent?
October 5, 2012
fosters ! thanks for sharing .
I wanted to know how much you sweated before the procedure ??
I get out of the shower and sweat is already rolling down my body and never stops i sweat 24 hours a day .. I cant go out without bringing 3-4 shirts and change through out the night or day lol people look at me and cant figure out what is happening why do you have a different shirt on ?? lol .
Also im reading the cost which also scares me lol So you spent 3000$ on the first session did you go back or are you going back and how much is the second round ?? did insurance cover any ?? Im sure it doesn't but it should ..
Thanks reading your post made me want to do this even sooner if i can afford it ..
Stay dry my friend

I paid $3000, which covers the cost of both treatments.
My second treatment will take place in late November. As I understand it, the second treatment is necessary to take care of any sweat glands missed by the first treatment.
For me, the first treatment stopped all underarm sweat. My underarm sweat was excessive before the treatment. Like you, I would often take an extra shirt or shirts with me to social events. Embarrassing? Yes. Expensive and time consuming? Yes.
In my opinion, Miradry is worth every penny. My underarms no longer produce sweat. I no longer need antiperspirant and my laundry bill has been reduced significantly.
My insurance did not cover the cost of the treatment.
Would I do it again? Yes, without hesitation.
