I have had excessive sweating since as long as I remember

Less hair

$1,200
I am finally starting to see a good decrease in armpit hair. It’s only in patches now. I guess it took some time for that benefit to kick in. Now if the sweat would follow suit ??????
Need to find out how long to wait for a round two.

That sounds like a great added benefit! I hope the sweat lets up!

Good Morning! I work for a plastic surgeon and we do the treatments 3 months apart. Glad you are starting to see a hair reduction! I myself also had the treatment about 2 months ago and although the hair decrease for me was the same because I've had laser. The sweating decrease has been significant. It really changed my life.
Great news on the hair reduction. This is about standard. It's takes a month to see the results because of "shedding", much like if u had laser hair removal, there's still about 3 or 4 mm of hair that's below the skin to the root which has to make its way out :) As for the sweat, I know it can be discouraging to see some of it return a month or so after the 1st treatment. I know it's disappointing. Given that your story is very similer to mine hyperhydrosis wise, trust me, your results are typical. Pleas read my writeup and compare. I know I had sweat return after about a month... I couldn't wait to go for my treatment 2. It seemed after my 2nd treatment I had life changing improvements... Prob Sweat like a normal person after that. I went back again just to take it a step further. So... I guess to encourage, please know Miradry can change it life, but for those of us who had severe hyperhydrosis, it will take more than one treatment. One piece of advice... When u go for your 2nd.. Insist they treat u at level 5 (the maximum). Anything less is just pointless for those of us with hyperhydrosis. And don't forget to freeze a pack of those miniature water bottles on advnace to have for the first 24 to 48 hours after your round 2. Im confident you'll see significant gains after you're 2nd treatment. You should book it so that your 3 months from the date of you're first treatment (I know it's hard to wait!) Hang in there. Thanks for posting the pictures so everyone can see what to expect. Wish everyone would do that. Feel free to PM me if u like! BTW... I encourage additional laser to totally eliminate the hair too
Thank you! I am planning on a second treatment as soon as I can afford it. I do believe it will probably eliminate my sweat. Now if they could do this Miradry to other areas! Lol
Ha ha yes I know right lol? It's too bad miradry didn't work on other areas too! Glad you're going to go for a second treatment, I think you'll see a step change after that. I'm saving you in my favorites as ill look forward to seeing your update. Make sure u take some pictures of your second treatment... On mine, I noticed the swelling wasn't as bad 2nd time round. Did u find a significant reduction in hair after a few months past first treatment? I couldn't really compare how effective the Miradry was on that part.. As I'd had laser hair removal too.. Curious. Hope you're doing well!
Yes!! Significant hair reduction and what is there grows more slowly! That's a win in my book!!
Ha ha that's awesome. Glad to hear it was so successful! :) look fwd to your updates!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm considering this treatment but want to hear the good and bad before I make my decision. Even though you are sweating, is it as much as you did before? Is the odor the same?

Getting better

I still have some swelling but it has went down considerably. No pain. Just a razor burn like feeling. I still think I’m sweating in high anxiety times. That really sucks, especially this soon after the procedure.
