I would not advise getting this procedure it only works temporarily and then everything goes back to normal again except for the damage it leaves behind I have developed cysts under both armpits after this procedure and they have swelled to the size of a nickel and are painful. The sweat never fully goes away and neither does the odor the way that they say it does, and only tell you to get another procedure done but I cannot with this situation it has created as well as some scarring. My underarms don't look the same anymore comma they look very messed up compared to what they were before.

do you have any numbness running down the inside of your arm to your elbow? i'm 12 weeks out, and i still have strange numb sensations down my arm.

Hi Tracy, I recently had the procedure done about 2 months ago now and I did have a numbness of some sort but that was directly under the armpits where the treatment was done which I was advised would go away after the 2nd month post treatment (which is correct because the numbness is gone now).

mine goes all the way to the elbow. and when i run, i get needle and tingling weird sensations. its been 14 weeks.

That is very strange and that would (I'd imagine) make you feel very uncomfortable and uneasy. Have you spoken to the doctor who did your treatment? If so, what did they say?

the manufacturer of the laser says that this happens but they have zero cases of it not resolving over time. so i'm waiting and hoping for a good outcome.

Hi, I'm really sorry that you have been left with cysts like you say. Could it be possible that the procedure wasn't done correctly? I did my first treatment about 2 months and am very happy with my results so far (as pretty much all of the swelling is gone now and I can properly gauge the effectiveness of the treatment).

I also tried Mira Dry and have had the same results. After 2 months I am still sweating as much as I had before the procedure and have dozens of hard and swollen spots under each harm that are noticeably painful. Went back to the facility in Newport Beach and they told me this was normal. What??? Gave me the exact opposite description from what they initially told me. This has been an expensive disaster!

Sorry to hear your experience, .... did you see A Board Certified HH (hyper Hyperhidrosis) Specialist for the treatment, or a doctor who just bought miraDry for revenue rather than outcomes ?
I'm curious about the cysts you developed. Did you get the shots or the lidocaine injected under the skin via an incision? I got the incision, which MiraDry recommends to doctors, but didn't like and opted for the shots on the other armpit. The shots were more effective at numbing and didn't leave any visible marks like the incision did. For the 2nd treatment which was 5 months later, I got the shots and interestingly my doctor said they were now ignoring MiraDry's suggestion and he pretty much recommends the shots to his patients.
