3 year update

WORTH IT$1,800
Hello! So it's been 3 years since I had Miradry performed on my underarms due to excessive sweating. I noticed a reduction in sweating immediately, but it didn't last very long, I'd say about 1 year. I never expected my sweating to go away completely, so it was nice while it lasted. I have found other ways of reducing my sweat and that has only been by reducing my stress levels. After all, my sweating was caused by constant stress and anxiety. Once I understood that and really changed my lifestyle with meditation, yoga, CBD oil and at some point anxiety meds, my sweating is under control. Best of luck to you all.

5 Weeks Post Miradry
msliliMay 13, 2017
It's been 5 weeks since my procedure and I can honestly say I am so happy I had it done. Although my sweat is not completely gone, it is about 70% better. And even when I do sweat, the smell is not offensive. My previous update was made while I was massaging my underarms with arnica, which by the way, helped the swelling and bruising a lot! But it was the arnica that made my underarms smell! Currently I put on regular deodorant in the AM after my shower and I'm good all day! I am changing my review to WORTH IT because I would do it again, in a heartbeat. Actually, I am still debating if I should go for another round. I guess I'll see how I feel on the 3 month mark and whether any more sweat returns. I will continue to update, in case it's helpful to anyone.

With everything I've read on your profile... I think you'd be very happy with a second round. I know I noticed a significant difference after round #2, round #1 definitely made a change of course... But after the second round made all the difference

I'm really leaning towards a second procedure. I would love to be sweat-free! How was the recovery the second time around ?

Actually I found the recovery similar, but not as intense. It seems like the 1st 24 hours were really the only time I felt uncomfortable, and then by the second morning after the procedure there really wasn't much pain at all, just the lumps and swelling of course. Those prob took about the same amount of time to go away as with round 1. But the swelling didn't seem quite as bad. Have a read on my profile, I posted pics after my 1st procedure and my second, and I think I annoted most of them, so you can see the difference 1 day after the 2nd treatment vs 1 day after the first.
That being said, 2nd time round I also had 8 of those mini-sized water bottles in the freezer at home waiting for me when I got home after the procedure, so I cycled those for the first 24 hours heavily, and then somewhat for the next 24 hrs after that. So I imagine the regular application of these as ice packs made a large difference. And of course the mini-water bottles are the perfect ergonomic fit. If you go for a round 2, I'd definitely recommend having 8 of these babies ready to go. LOL.
It really is a marvelous technology isn't it? Changed my life, that's for sure. Just use a mild deodorant now, no more antiperspirants at all. I've tried to get away with no deodorant at all, but I can notice a faint smell by evening when I do the self check, so I just usually use a light deodorant to be sure, but no more toxic aluminum salts, thankfully.

9 days after Miradry

The swelling, lumps and soreness have improved a lot, about 80% better. I shaved a couple days ago and it felt so wierd because my underarms were still numb! So about the sweating and odor, I'm a little disappointed. I didn't consider my sweating severe, so I expected a huge difference. But I feel like there has only been a 25% reduction in my sweating and odor. I don't know if anyone has this problem, but one underarm has always been sweatier than the other. And it was my sweatier underarm that got the level 3 treatment because it was a bit uncomfortable at level 4. Anyway, so I planned on not wearing deo for a week after the procedure, but on the fourth day, I could smell my sweatier underarm and it was gross, the other underarm wasn't so bad. So I put on regular deodorant the next day and the sweating and odor were manageable, but I still had a sweat stain in my grey t-shirt. Bummer. The doc did mention to me that I might need another treatment, but I was hoping, since my sweating wasn't so severe, that I could manage any lingering sweat with deo use. But I guess not. I think I will go back for another treatment, I'll see how I feel in a couple weeks. So my advice to anyone reading, go big or go home! Do the level 5! Good luck to you all! I will update in a few weeks.
