A little bit about myself i am a 20 year old male,...

A little bit about myself i am a 20 year old male, very active i go to school, work, and go to the gym 4-5 times out of the week. Like most, I've struggled with uncontrollable sweaty armpits and couldn't take it anymore.....I would sweat no matter the temperature hot or cold i would have big patches of sweat underneath my armpits, if i was just sitting in class out of nowhere big patches of sweat, this made me very self conscious and lose a lot of confidence i tried antiperspirants and none of them helped, talked to the doctor he gave me a antiperspirant that didn't work.... So fed up I decided to try the miradry treatment.... I heard about miradry and how it can reduce sweating drastically... so i set up an appointment and I had my treatment on a Friday at a place in Roseville, the staff and people doing the procedure were very nice (before the treatment there was a consultation where they explained the process and answered questions)
Anyway the treatment wasn't too bad you show up with shaved armpits, they start with injections to numb the armpits takes about an hour for both armpits, then they apply miradry machine to your armpits(I had my treatment at a level 5 and made sure because i was a really heavy sweater) the worse part i would say is keeping your arms up other than that its not too bad. After the treatment was over my pits were swollen and felt like i had waterballons in them a weird feeling. They gave me ice packs and i was on my way.
(Side notes/Tips: i took ibuprofen to reduce swelling before and after, i heard you should eat something before so i did that as well, i did not drive home not that i couldn't but just to make the healing process go faster, i iced on the ride home. Also use a paper tower to wrap the ice to avoid ice burns, because you cant feel your armpits, something that helped was drinking lots of water)

Day off treatment: Wasn't too bad the anesthetics didn't wear off til the next morning, there was a bit of swelling, not too much pain and it plain out just feels weird have so much fluid in your armpits

Day 1 and 2 Post treatment: probably the worst days the pain kind of sinks in(nothing too bad)id say swelling peaks during this time looks really weird, i work out alot and have a pretty solid physique and the swelling from your armpits goes to your chest and abdomen so you look a bit more swollen(fat) than you normally are (but it does go away as long as you ice, drinks lots of water, and take anti inflamatory pills like ibuprofin)I took ibuprofen after every big meal, drank water like all day, and iced on and off to reduce swelling. It sucks just because you cant really do any thing on the up side there was no sweat!
Days 3 and 4 Post Treatment: Pretty much repeated the process and armpits swelling went down drastically around day 4 for me, no sweat still have swollen pecs, and abdomen though... went to school on day 4 and it was a pretty hot day and i wanted to see if it really worked so wore a color shirt and went to school ran some errands on a sunny day and there barely any sweat a little moist but nothing compared to what it used to be you will feel a lot of phantom sweating(feels like your sweating a lot but your not)
Day 5 Post Treatment: swelling is almost all gone,I started applying arnica cream on my armpits because there was no more discoloration, and broken skin i went back to the gym i did legs because i didn't want to risk it and everything went fine barely any sweat which was crazy!
2 weeks Post Treatment: Swelling gone completely from armpits,abdomen and chest(was gone around day 7-8) No pain and only sweat if its really hot, or if i am really nervous like a test day(but its not big patches not even little patches just a little moisture. Sometime feel a weird nerve sensation if i stretch a certain way but seems like that's leaving as well,

Week 3 Post treatment: My sweat began to progressively come back like before which really sucked I had such high expectations and paid a lot of money... I noticed it as i went to the gym but didn't think to much because i always sweat there so i didn't really mind it, but today at school i had patches around my armpit and we weren't really doing anything it was an easy drawing for art class in a relatively cool room. So I don't know if this treatment really works. The lady doing the procedure told me because i sweat so much i may need a second treatment but don't want to pay all that money again and have the sweat come back. Hopefully this was a one time thing but i don't know..... I've notified the people who did my treatment and they said that its very odd andset up an appintment in about 2 weeks
