My story are similar to those you might already read in this review section.
I've tried botox before but it didn't really help.I would just buy black shirts and just hide my underarms as much as I could.
I went for MiraDry in Pasadena,Dr.Sasaki's office. Registered nurse,Debbi(not sure about name) performed this procedure.Office staff was pretty good;however,there are some details they forgot to perform:
1)prescription for 800 mg Ibuprofen which I luckily had
2) to schedule me for the second treatment
I guess that ok since they have special for this moths and I payed only $2000 compare to other places which asks for at least $3000 for two sessions.
Before procedure:
1)I did not take Ibuprofen and actually you don't really needed it
2)I shaved my armpits before 2-3 days
3)Did not apply deodorant
4)Wear tanks
During procedure:My appointment was to 10A.M.
I chose level 4,they warned me that recovery takes longer and pain will be greater than from level 3 but I didn't care and it was not a problem for my nurse to raise the level from 3 to 4.
The shots for anesthesia were not too bad,I felt little uncomfortable but it was not a big deal at all.
During actual procedure I felt little pain few times for 2-5 seconds probably,again not big deal.
It took about 1 or so.I finished around 11:30.
After procedure:
My right arm began to swell about 30 minutes after procedure,my left arm-after 40-50 minutes probably.
When I got home,I immediately put ice bottles and took one Ibuprofen 800.I did not have any breaks for ice,also I didn't have to go anywhere so I stayed home all day.The swelling get bigger after about 8 hours and it was bigger next morning.During the night I didn't experienced any pain.I also took another Ibuprofen before to go to sleep.
I had school next day and honestly it was not fun because I could not really put my hands down and feeling the bumps underarms was quite uncomfortable.I kept icing before school also and took another Ibuprofen at morning.I didn't not have any pain.When I got home after school I felt that bumps got bigger,so I started icing again and bandage the underarm area with my Aikido belt lol it helps with swelling.Also I bought Arnica cream and applied it before I went to sleep.
Today is the third day(Thursday,Procedure was on Tuesday) and I'm not sweating yet,I feel little sticky but not sweating;however,it makes me worry a little bit because, I guess, I supposed to be super dry at this stage,will see.The swelling is much better today and I feel little bumps but that's Ok not something that will make you super uncomfortable.So far so good.I expected pain and suffering but honestly its not too bad,my recovery goes pretty good.I will update results later.
