I have had severe underarm sweating...

Gharpo
$2,000
I have had severe underarm sweating (hyperhydrosis) for as long as I can remember. I was searching for Botox options online when u came across Miradry and decided to put up the $2000 AUD for the initial treatment. My treatment was performed by two extremely proficient nurses. Initially I had lignocaine and adrenaline injections (about 20 per side), followed by 50ml of saline per side (10 injections per side) to assist with the procedure. The initial injections were a little painful but bearable. The Miradry treatment started and thanks to the local, I was unable to feel any heating on one whole side. Some further local injections were required on the remaining side due to slight burning feeling. I over 24hrs post procedure and have maintained anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen), the recommended anti-bacterial gel and pain killers as required. I have been home all day with ice on regularly. I woke this morning with extremely swollen and hard armpits, but over the course of the day, the inflammation has gone down significantly and the bruising has come out.

I have had NO sweating since the procedure and am feeling significantly better than expected!

Yes, it was Laser Dermatology in Box Hill. I am really happy with the results! I have been strict with ice and nearly all of the swelling is gone in a bit over 48hrs. No sweat either

Hi this is exactly what I need. But there is no MiraDry Victoria. Could you clarify the name that's showing in your review? Thanks for such an informative review.

Hi there! I am interested in Miradry at Box Hill and found your review very helpful :) I was just wondering how you are going a couple years down the track? Have the results lasted? Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Jess

Swelling has decreased dramatically and just some minor bruising remains. No pain at all!
