I had my procedure done at 9am this morning. The procedure itself was almost entirely painless. Only the initial numbing shots were uncomfortable but no where close to what I was expecting or what I would describe as "painful." I've been told to expect discomfort in the coming days, as I am still numb from the shots, and I will update on the progress. I'm really hoping this works and am beyond excited to potentially wear the new silk hot pink shirt I bought months back in anticipation for this procedure! Hopefully it is good-bye only black shirts and embarrassment forever!!!

Take the second treatment free of he's offering it my all means! But yes... The initial procedure paralyzes the sweat glands that weren't destroyed but only for abiut 3 weeks.. From what I foind. Then i had to start using antiperspirant again... I didn't notice a huge lasting difference until after my second treatment
And I actually wanted a year and went for a third. Finally... Now.. I can get by without antiperspirant.. Just need a bit of deodorant.. But it's always dry to the touch now.
U will get there. But yes it will take more than one. Sounds like u sweated as much as I did and grew up with it as well.

oh man, trying to type on a phone isn't such a great idea. holy spelling mistakes in my last post.
What I was saying was that I waited a year after my 2nd treatment, then went for a third.
I'd say after my first, sweating probably reduced by about half, but the first 3 weeks after the initial treatment was completely dry... after a couple months, that's when I could see the true results. Much as you're seeing now.
After the 2nd treatment, same thing.. I had a 3 week period of virtually nothing, then some comes back.. but I'd say overall after that, probably 80-90% less sweat.
I lived for a year like that, still using some antiperspirants. Then I went back for the third. Now it always feel dry to the touch, but there's sometimes a slight odor, so I use a deodorant now and pretty much live sweat free. So I'd say I'm like 96% now? Whatever is there.. isn't visibly noticeable... just some faint smell, would be nice to get rid of that too... but I don't know if thats realistic.
Anyhow, my point, you'd definitely need a 2nd treatment anyway, so if your doc is offering to do it free, by all means take it. The about a month after, you should get a good feel for where you're at. I suspect based on my experience, you'll need a light antiperspirant and notice very little.
But please, let me know!!! PM me or here, either is fine!

Second MiraDry Procedure
malia777July 7, 2016
I had a second treatment done yesterday only 2 month after having my first. The first was done at a level 5 and this was was preformed at a level 3. My doctor believes that maybe the machine malfunctioned during my first procedure as I had very obvious sweating the very next day. The second procedure hurt more than the first and I could feel the "hot match" burning sensation and I did not feel this the first time so it is quite possible the doctor's suspicions are correct. Swelling is moderate today and probably will be at its highest tomorrow, as it was with the first procedure. I am noticing some "moistness" under my arms but will give it a few days before I become too alarmed by it. Praying this time around it works and my sweating will be reduced by more then the maybe 20% it was from the first procedure!

Sorry, correction. ***this procedure was done only ONE month after the first was preformed.
You will be pleased with the results. You will be almost sweat free for probably a month and then some will creep back. I did 2 procedures to hit it good. And after 1 year.. I decided to go for a third. I have almost no sweat now.. And I was like you.. I soak my shirts half way down my rib cage before. Ugh. I know how u feel.
One of the girls on here have me the idea to fill water bottles with ice and freeze them.. I found these were the best ice packs as they contour fit well. Hope u are pulling through
You are more than welcome to pm me with any questions as well!
Do u know what level they did your miradry on? Since u sweated intensely like me... I hope they did a level 5 (which is the maximum) so u get maximum sweat gland destruction
