I am a 51 year old male. I have had trouble with excessive sweating since I was a teen. I have tried prescription deodorant, and taking prescription meds to completely stop sweating. While the meds did stop me from sweating under my arms, I stopped sweating all over as well. I knew this was not good. My wife found this video on MiraDry about a couple of months ago. I researched it to find out exactly how it worked, side effects, reviews, etc. It seemed like the answer to my prayers. I had the procedure and as everyone else states, the worse part were the shots. I had to have 50 under each armpit. While they did sting in certain areas, it was not overwhelming. I had the normal swelling as everyone else did and today on the 3rd day it has gone down a lot. I am used to wearing a tshirt under my shirts to catch as much of the sweat as I can. Usually I am changing my tshirt about half way through the day. Last night I wore a tshirt and while I did sweat, it was not nearly as bad as usual. I did wear a color shirt just for a test and there was absolutely no sweat on it. As stated, I am only 3 days out so I cannot say yet how much this is going to stop me sweating so I will keep everyone updated. Right now it feels hot under my arms and they feel really clammy. I will have my second treatment in three months and I hope I can have a good report at that time!

Sweet, sounds like this may be the answer for you.  Definitely keep us up to date and time goes on, and after the next treatment.

11 Days Out

My swelling has subsided pretty well. Still have a little bit of tenderness. I have not stopped sweating 100%, but I can tell it has gone down around 70-80%. I did try to wear a colorful button down shirt and it did show some sweat. It wasn't nearly as much as it was pre-mira dry. I still wear a t-shirt under my shirts. I used to have to change my t-shirt during the day. That seems to be a thing of the past. The only time I really sweat is when I am outside in the heat and it does get hot here in Oklahoma. Overall, it seems like everyday I am starting to get to the point where I don't think about sweat which to me is successful! I do know that I need to take off about 15 lbs which I am sure will help my body temperature to not be so hot all the time. Can't wait for second treatment.

Very Happy after 2nd procedure

coachjohn
I am 3 weeks out from my second procedure and I must say I am the most happy I have been in a long time! Halfway between my first and second procedure about 75% of my sweating came back. When I went in for my 2nd procedure apparently I had a couple areas that were not treated. The areas that were treated were not sweating at all! After being treated with level 4 I am not sweating at all. I wore a blue shirt today which would have had a big stain on it did not have one drop of sweat on it! I am excited and I will update in 3 months to give one last update!

does it help with your odor too?

I really never had trouble with odor so I can't say. All I do know is what I have read and several people said it did. I had to have a 3rd procedure because I was still sweating from certain areas. It has been 9 months since that and while some of the swearing has come back, I have about 80% dryness. I feel like a normal person again.
