MiraDry Miracle

MiraDry is one of those things that is a life changer if you are a heavy sweater, and can be hard for people for whom it's not an issue to understand why it's such a game changer. But if you're like me then you know what it's like to always be thinking about the temperature and stress level involved in any situation before deciding what to wear. I had the procedure 3 or 4 weeks ago. I hadn't been to Dr. Antonetti's office before, but it's comfortable and all the staff I interacted with and the women who did my procedure were wonderful! They really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and felt NO pain during the procedure. There was swelling afterwards which I iced that afternoon and throughout the night, but the next day I forgot to take anything for the swelling initially because I didn't have any pain. Now the swelling is significant. Like - a little kid in a big puffy coat - can't put your arms fully down by your side swelling. But it was only uncomfortable if I tried to press arms down and was diminished enough 2 - 3 days later to not be an issue anymore. Few weeks later and one pit is pretty much back to normal and one is still a little lumpy and hurts if you push on it - so I don't do that;) Now my understanding (from the internet) is that the extent of the miracle may diminish a little over the first three months at which point you'll have a sense of your final result, and can decide if you need a touch up. But right now I can NOT wear antiperspirant and go all day and at end of day, nothing, no sweat, no smell. Most days I do hit the pits with a tiny spray of antiperspirant/deodorant just for freshness, but my days of slathering on clinical strength are over. I noticed someone else said they experienced phantom sweating and I have as well. If your a stress sweater you know that sensation when your going somewhere and you start to feel the sweating start. I sometimes still feel that, but even with no antiperspirant on there is no sweat. I guess it's just the sensation of the signal being sent to start the sweating, but happily no glands left to answer it:) So worth it and great experience having it done at CliniqueDallas!!
