MiraDry Treatment Was Worth It

I feel like after having 3 kids, my body started changing and my underarms would start sweating more than usual. Even on cold days when I'm wearing a sweater or need to prepare for a presentation, my shirt would be drenched. I would always have to wear black to hide it. I knew about the MiraDry treatment when it was first FDA approved. Never found the time to do it. As I had more opportunity to do corporate presentations, I wanted to dress for success and not always wear black clothing. I rarely wore light color clothing or silk material because you can see the sweat in my shirt. So, I decided look on Yelp and found BioSpa. They are one of the few in Orange County that offers MiraDry. Nurse, Shakiba was awesome. I also met with Dr. Horowitz before I started treatment. I called the office on Monday AM, and went in the afternoon for the treatment. They were running a Black Friday special so I got $200 off, plus a $50 discount for Yelp check in. My nurse was awesome. Super friendly and walked through the entire procedure. Dr. Horowitz also came in and met with me. I would have suggested that they do a sweat test first before they do the procedure. They didn't offer to do it on me but now I wished they did so they can see where I have most of the sweat glands. (Most of my sweat glands were burned off except on the outer edges of my armpit.) The most painful part was the lidocaine injections. After like 5 injections, your arm starts to get numb. Once all injections are in, the laser was piece of cake. Super fast and didn't hurt. Afterwards, I felt fine and was able to drive home 2 hours later. Just iced my armpits every hour for 30 minutes. Most swollen was day 2. Then showed some bruising from the lidocaine injections. Iced more on day 2 and by day 3, swelling went down but my armpits were still lumpy and sore. That sore feeling just feels like sore muscles from exercising. I took a 6 day break from doing hot yoga. On day 6th, I went back to doing hot yoga with weights. I was sweating profusely everywhere except my armpits. It was awesome. MiraDry worked. 2nd week after my treatment, no more sore muscles, no more lumpy armpits and no more sweat! I recommended the treatment to my sister, and she also booked with BioSpa.
