Recovery Was Downplayed

Still lumpy

WORTH IT$1,700
It’s been just over 2 weeks and I still have some noticeable lumps. The left side is still pretty lumpy and the right is starting to look more normal.

Sweating has been about the same since last updat. Probably about a 75% reduction overall. Regular antiperspirant actually works now.
The skin is still kind of sore and tender but I only really notice it when I’m applying deodorant or shaving. I didn’t notice a huge decrease in hair it’s kind of hard to estimate but maybe about 20% less.

Hi. I’m getting nervous reading about these lumps/bumps?! How long did you have them for? How long would you say it took to completely heal? And over a year later are you still happy you got this done ?
Hi there! The bumps definitely took a long time to go away completely I would say it was a good 4-6 weeks before it wouldn’t be obvious to others but I still had a few that no one would really ever see unless someone really stuck their face in your pit. I think around the 3 month mark even those were gone.

I am soooo thrilled to have gotten this procedure though. I no longer have to avoid wearing certain materials or colors. No longer running to the restroom to blot my sweaty pits with tissues. I certainly still sweat but it’s so much more manageable now.

I think it’s working!

My underarms are feeling much less sore. The only time they are bothered is when something is directly rubbing on them like a tight shirt or when applying deodorant. I do still some noticeable lumps but they are slowly decreasing in size

I’ve now gone to applying regular secret antiperspirant once per day and I’ve already been noticing a big difference. Previously I’d apply 3-4 times a day and still be sweaty and smelly. Now after applying once in the morning my pits stay mostly dry and I no longer reek. I do still notice sweat if I’m working out or really hot but nowhere near the levels before. I’d estimate about a 75% reduction

1 week update

It’s been one week. The swelling has mostly subsided and my armpits are just starting to look more normal. There are still noticeable bumps and a bit of redness but most of the pain is gone. On a scale of 1-10 I’d give them a 2. The skin is still tender and gets irritated easily. Still feels a bit sunburnt.

I still have not shaved or used any deodorant/antiperspirant as I’m waiting for my skin to feel less irritated first.

As for sweating I don’t notice much unless I’m working out. Occasionally my armpits will feel “tacky”.

I do still notice some odor but it seems less offensive than it used to be.
