Hello my name is Jennifer. I have been suffering from hyperhidrosis since 5th grade, and I am 22 right now. I can't wear shirts with sleeves, and if I do I have to bring a jacket, or make sure I wear black shirts. I sweat constantly. The only time I don't is when I just relaxing at home. I can't listen to my favorite songs, laugh, argue, worry, or have any type of emotions without sweating. Yesterday (the day before my appointment) I went to go play golf with my boyfriend. I wore a tank top because I feared of sweating and being embarrassed, well I showed up and they told me I couldn't played because I needed a shirt with sleeves. I then had to go home. Hyperhydrosis is something I constantly deal with. Every time I get dressed I have to think about what kind of shirt I am able to wear.
I thought about doing botox but its not permanent and I do not have the money or time to deal with that. Then a nurse told me about Miradry. I did my research on it and knew I had to do it. So here I am sitting here so sore after my treatment. I drove 2 hours to panama city, fl. The consultation and procedure took about 2 hrs. The staff was very nice and made me feel comfortable. They first applied a tattoo like guide on my armpits. Then a lady came to numb the area. After she was done injecting she poked different parts of my armpit to make sure I was numb. She wasn't in a hurry and I appreciated her taking the time to make sure I was numb. She went over to the other armpit to numb it while another lady started the miradry procedure. Oh, and I did get a level 4 treatment. I have a high pain tolerance, and the only thing that hurt was the shots. It felt like bee stings. But the miradry procedure didn't feel like anything. After both sides were done, they applied ice packs under my arms. 2 hours later, im pretttttty sore. Keeping ice under my arms help but it feels like a huge ass bee stung me, and I have golf balls under my arms. I took some ibuprofen. Yes I am swollen, but I do not care. I cant wait for the pain to decrease and I can wear short sleeve shirts and wave my hands in the air. =)
It was 1000 for the treatment. It was at Gulf Coast Dermatology in Panama City, FL on Harrison Avenue. Like I said the ladies were very very nice and comforting. But lord it hurts right now. Ill just have to suck it up and keep icing!

Swelling has gone down significantly. Kind of tender but no pain. The hicky looking marks are faded fast too . No sweating. Only when I got hot and tresses at work I felt damp but nothing that soaked through. I sweated like a normal person lol so I've been dry for 3 whole days!!! So happy :) I can wear whatever I want!
