Enough is Enough! These sweaty pits are holding me...

WORTH IT$1,700
Enough is Enough! These sweaty pits are holding me back. Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this site! I had my first round miradry treatment 6 days ago and so far so good. I have tried prescription antiperspirant that left me singed and raw after each use and I still would sweat straight through them. I have tried pills and they caused me chest pain but I felt no relief from them either. I was super excited when my dermatologist sent me a post card about miradry. I had never heard of it and at this point I was willing to pay ANY amount to be free from this problem. I immediately began research, went to a demonstration at my doctors office and asked him to sign me up. He and his assistant did the right arm first about 6 pokes for numbing then the injection solution Lidocaine. They took turns performing the treatment with the suction tool and there was very minimal burning sensation. I did get tired from holding my boob up so that it wouldn't fall under my pit. Lol. Big boob problems. When they got to the left pit the pokes were more uncomfortable and the injection of the lidocaine solution was a little painful. They began to apply the suction treatment and there was pain on the left. The pain was somewhat bearable and only lasted seconds but as the doctor looked at my face he could see it getting pretty bad right in the center of my pit so he stopped and renumbered that area and went over it again. Here I am 6 days later not a drop of moistness in the left pit but I'm getting odor in the right pit and they are both always very hot. The swelling is going down a lot and the pain was gone by day 4. I will try to post photos.

Hi! Yes I took 600 mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours for 48 hours and I iced every hour on the hour for 20 minutes with the cute gel miradry reusable ice packs they gave me.

A little bit. Just under one arm. It is not a prominent odor but it's comes when I sweat.

How are you recovering now from the procedure? I'm thinking of having this done.

Also, did you have a lot of pain?

Completely worth it!

So it's been 11 days since my treatment and my I have not glad a drop of sweat under my left pit (the one that hurt so bad they had to renumb) but my right pit started to sweat a little about 3 days after, nothing major but I use a small amount of deodorant on the right pit when I'm going to work. Lol.

I still ice when I get out of the shower because I still have just a little swelling and I'm very hot right out of the shower, so they help me cool off. They gave me a nice pair of reusable miradry gel icepacks.

This procedure really has been life changing so far. I stay dry and fresh for hours when I'm out and I don't have to stop home wash my armpits and change shirts in between. I plan to definitely go in for round 2 just to reduce the sweat in the right pit even more. I'm so glad I did this!

Thank you! If you go through with it you will not regret it. The sweat smell that I used to experience everyday is gone and that has helped my confidence a lot.

I really want to soon, but the pain of it worries me slightly. Only those of us who have this problem can really understand how much it shakes the confidence levels. Good luck, i am interested how many times you need to go through with it.

Approximately how much was your miradry treatment?

First round was $1700, that was a special discounted rate. The 2nd round might be $900-$999.

I meant what medications have you tried to help with your increased sweating prior to having the Miradry treatment?

No problem. I know everyone's experience is different but the pain NOTHING compared to the reward of being dry all day. I am definitely doing the 2nd round.

2 weeks out!

Hi RS. I am now 2 weeks out and I am still pleased with my results. The swelling has subsided and I'm sweating minimally but just under my right pit, my left is still completely dry. It feels a little sticky and gooey wearing deodorant again after not wearing it for days. Also I have to be very conscious and not put too much on because I'm used to slathering it on. Lol! I'm getting to see how other people who don't have axillary hyperhidrosis feels and it's great! If you have been suffering with armpit sweating I say do it, it feels like a Blessing to me.
