Miradry 2nd treatment

WORTH IT$1,700
Hi! I had a 2nd treatment done in January. This time I had a little numbness in my pits and under my arms for months. I also experienced some residual lumps under my skin (probably scar tissue) for a few months but they went away. After my 2nd treatment I barely sweat all! I have experienced an increase since it's been warmer out but nothing that causes sweat stains or offensive odor. There was not a lot of pain. I had an uncomfortable sensation for a couple of days but using the ice packs help a lot. I'm so happy I did this, I'm more confident now, and I barely have to shave at all! I wear sleeveless shirts and dresses to work all day and to parties. My life has changed for the better since I had this treatment! If you are thinking about having it done, do it you will not regret it.

Not at all, the numbness finally went away completely .

Thanks for sharing your story!! I have suffered with excessive swearing since I was 14 and am now 31. I'm so tired of feeling uncomfortable due to wet pits and odor!! Sometimes I don't bother going to social events because the sweat makes me stress, which makes me sweat even more!! Tomorrow I have a Miradry consultation, but I am very nervous!!!

I know the feeling. The shame and stress of sweating makes you sweat more. You have nothing to worry about. The procedure is done right in the office and for me there was minimal pain. Good luck to you!

2nd round complete

So this past January I finally got my 2nd round of miradry. I still feel a little numbness under one arm but so far I'm in love with the results!
My life has changed!
At this point:
I rarely have to shave at all.
I have only sweated very minimally during exercise.
I am not sweating at all normally.
My deodorant last 4-5 months because I use so little now.
My confidence is through the roof!
I don't think twice about meetings in small offices or standing close to someone.
My clothes last longer.

This has been one of the BEST things I have ever done for myself. I know summer will be the true test and I'm ready to face it. I bought maxi dresses and spaghetti straps to wear because I feel like my sweating issue is behind me. I would even be comfortable going sleeveless in the office.

Dr. Maggiolino and his staff were amazing I feel they did an awesome job! I would recommend them to anyone.

I'm so glad I did this!

Update!

Hi! I wanted to give an update. My sweat is not as much or as moist as it used to be and its still just under the one arm. But the odor that I get after a few hours, I don't like! It's much milder now than before but I'm so hoping that round 2 knocks it out!

sometimes diet can influence odor. For me dairy, butter, cheese, and mayonnaise makes my pits stinky.

That's interesting, I had never heard of that! I going to research it.

Yep. Sometimes spices, garlic can jump it off. I've also read that foods high in choline can cause odors in certain people
