January 2014 - Treatment Booked - Charlotte, NC

My MiraDry appointment is tomorrow afternoon. I have used Botox for the past few years - with doctor's letter of medical necessity - but insurance has stopped paying for the injections (will only cover the Botox RX). I cannot afford to pay out of pocket $1,000 for each injection (I need 2-3/year), so I am financing this treatment - interest free over 18 months.
I plan to stop by the store tonight on the way home and pick up Arnica pills/cream and hydrocortisone cream.
After reading about the swelling - esp torso area - I decided to cancel my pilates classes for the week - and I may be just doing a slow walk on the treadmill. My thought is that the swelling is part of the body trying to find a new way to excrete what used to go through the armpits. I have had other cosmetic surgeries and always found that light exercise - walking only - aided in my recovery. Initial thoughts are that I should follow that practice after the MiraDry treatment also.

Today's treatment went very smooth. We decided upon the Level 3 treatment and size "61" in the pattern area of my armpit. I did need a few extra shots of lidocaine on the left side (I could feel the sucking/heat). As soon as that was done, we finished the procedure. It was actually pretty relaxing - Enya playing on the speakers and I had my beach waves in my headphones.
I am about 2 hours post op - went back to the office after - and am not feeling any soreness (yet).
I plan to do a slow walk on the treadmill tonight and am going to be drinking LOTS of water!!

I walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill @ slow pace and did abs last night. I drank a TON of water yesterday. Today, I am moderately bruised from the injections and slightly swollen under my arms. No where near the "golfball" or larger swelling that others have experienced. No pain - only dull ache if I press my arms tightly to my side.
I did NOT ice my treated area at all last night. Or this morning.
