Third treatment made a huge difference

$3,000
In a desperate hope to finally get rid of sweating I asked Dr. Herne to do a third Miradry treatment on me. I saw a review here on Real Self from someone who had the same issue and after the third time it finally worked. I had Miradry done 17 days ago. It worked!! Sweating improved by about 90%. My armpits are always dry at home which never happened before. They are slightly damp when I am outside though. But it is still 86 degrees here in Florida. I asked Dr. Herne to go over the same spot twice, so essentially I received two sessions at the same time. I am very happy now. If it stays like that I will be able to wear anything I want. Dr. Herne is truly a wonderful and caring doctor. Highly recommend her to anyone.

I had my second Miradry treatment last Friday. Well, on day two I went back to sweating as much as before!! The Miradry representative was there and told me that the laser itself can only go 5mm deep, so if your sweat glands are deeper than that you are out of luck. Now with $3,000 less in my wallet I am back to there I started. Miradry manufacturer misrepresents the effectiveness of their laser by not informing that it would only work on select people. Had I known that, I would have had Dr. Edelman who performed my ETS surgery with incredible success clamp the other nerve responsible to armpit sweating. I am very unhappy. But I have to say Dr. Herne did everything she could. She is am amazing doctor, it is the machine itself that doesn't always work.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience and all the others who went though this unsuccessfully. I also considered this option along with ETS. Thankfully I found the Thompson Tee with patented Hydro-Shield Sweatproof Technology. Non-invasive and considerably less expensive. Machine washer and dryer safe so as convenient as your regular undershirt. Life changing for me so I highly recommend it. Good luck!

Thank you, but I have those. They are great, but in hot FL weather I feel like I am in a sauna in them. I will be having Miradry done third time this month. Maybe then it will work, or maybe I am just a dreamer :)

Are you using their Original Fit or Slim Fit? I found the Original Fit fits and feels more like a normal undershirt and isn't as warm as the Slim Fit.
Good luck with your 3rd treatment, keep me posted!

Still not happy with Miradry
florida19887September 9, 2015
Well.. I am still sweating like before. The procedure was a total waste. But I was able to get a hold of Dr. Herne. She called Miradry on my behalf and they are going to send their representative to Dr. Herne's office when I have my second treatment. From what I understood they are going to modify the way they perform the procedure to insure that this time my sweat glands get destroyed. So I got my hope back :). I am having my second treatment in two days and I will keep everyone posted.
