So this review will be fairly short. I have been suffering from axillary Hyperhidrosis since the age of 13. I have tried everything known to man (topical deodorants, Botox, acupuncture, axillary curettage aka suction of sweat glands) and nothing has worked so Miradry was definitely my last resort. I had my first consultation Feb 19th at John Hopkins Hospital with dr Malcom Brock in Baltimore. He's awesome by the way. ????????????????????I have never felt so comfortable at a consultation. Everything happened very fast, had a consultation and one week later did my treatment (today). I definitely appreciated the fact that I did not have to wait long to get my first treatment.... lord knows I don't want to live one more day with this condition if I don't have to. The only thing that actually "hurt " was the numbing injections but the Miradry itself didn't hurt. It was done using level 5 and I go in for my 2nd treatment in May. I went in at 3:30 and it was done at 5pm.
I'm laying on the couch with ice packs as I'm writing this. I'm going to take to pics so you guys can see what my pits look like 3hrs post treatment. I'll do another update tomorrow.

Dr Malcolm is awesome! I would recommend him to anyone who suffers from Hyperhidrosis in the metro area. The staff at the location were very friendly and took great care of me. I'm excited to go back and see him in May.

When you had your procedure done, did they inject normal saline in addition to the lidocaine?

Nope just the lidocaine? Does injecting saline as well improve the success rate? ;)

I'm not sure if it does but was told that's the "new" thing practitioners are doing now. I know I was in severe pain for 2 days afterwards. I've had fathom sweating which I find weird but when I check my underarms, there's no sweat. I have experience compensatory sweating under my breast and stomach though. I can deal with that. That also happen to me when I had botox injections also.

hmmm... I have to ask my dr about that. Did the dr tell you "why" they would inject the saline? I experienced the phantom sweats as well but no comp sweating anywhere. I haven't had phantom sweats for a couple of weeks now though.

Sorry about misspelling phantom....LoL! I realized that AFTER I sent the message. I had a nurse, RN, actually do my procedure. She works under a board certified plastic surgeon and dermatologist. She did all the numbing and injecting of the saline. I believe she stated it was to pull the top layer away from the muscle wall for better results. I can't find anyone else that is doing the procedure this way. I'm scared to have the 2nd procedure done cause of the pain I was in. There was NO way that ice and motrin/Aleve was going to take the pain way. I had to go to my local urgent care center for pain (narcotics) medicine! I had to have an injection to take the edge off and given some topical numbing agent as well cause I was on fire!

There is no way this is a real account. Likely something fabricated by the miradry folks.

Day 3 miradry

buttabeenFebruary 29, 2016

So I started getting damp under my arms yesterday when I was out and about but nowhere near wet or wetness of m clothes. I was little more active today and I noticed wetness again today in the exact same area as yesterday. The area circled in white is where I'm experiencing dampness/wetness and what the area in red is completely dry. I don't know if the lower part of my arm pit is dry because there's more puffiness of swelling in that area. It's definitely too soon to see final results but if this is how much I would sweat for the rest of my life I'd be THE happiest girl in the world!!!! I'm not doing any updates until day 7 but I'll take notes every day and on day 7 I'll give you guys a full report.
