MiraDry treatment

Got my underarm treated with MiraDry for excess sweating.
Impression I have is that I'm not sure if I'll go back for second round.
Numbing part was very painful and I experienced acute pinch like pain in the areas that weren't thoroughly numb. It's not a pain-free treatment that's for sure

I iced my underarms for constant 7 hours right after the treatment and before going to bed and yet I couldn’t sleep through the pain last night despite taking 3 (500 mg)ibuprofens.
My right arm felt numb till back of my right elbow. I had never imagined I would have to go through this kind of pain for something so non to minimal invasive.
My treatment was done by a nurse under no supervision of doctor or any other nurse.
I’m not sure why I am going through so much pain.
And if this pain is caused by Mira dry device or the bunch of (anesthesia)injections given prior to treatment.

Still have some pain and swelling. Compared to day 1 n 2, discomfort level has minimized.
It’s hot here so I have seen very little moisture under my arms. I still hope I don’t have to go back fro second round. The procedure was very painful for me.

It’s been 30 days and I have been sweating as though I never had any treatments done. No reduction. In fact my underarm still hurts. Its probably the nerves that’s injured from the numbing process. I m not sure if I would
Want to go through the same painful procedure and pay 2000 dollars second time. I’m just hoping to see some improvement honestly. I don’t recommenced unless it’s performed by a doctor. Mine was done by the nurse in a newly opened spa under no supervision. It was a mistake.

I feel so sorry for you! I am always very scared to have procedures with any other person than a nurse.

Sorry meant a doctor.
