miraDry works!
I had the miraDry procedure on my armpits a few months ago at Dr. Place office in San Ramon. I am a very active person and I sweat a lot! From sweating, I have ruined tshirts, my confidence level was down. During interviews and meetings I actually pushed sweat through a sport coat on multiple occasions.
Pre:
I went into the San Ramon office in the morning, (I recommend an early appointment), and the staff there was nice and made me feel comfortable. (I do not like needles... I have a history of passing out at hospitals, but I felt comfortable here). If you are nervous like I was, make sure to eat breakfast and hydrate, I get queezy easily. If anything the hardest part was shaving my armpits, the procedure was quick.
During:
The downside was I had to keep my arm up above my head for 20 minutes at a time, my arm fell asleep, I told the RN and she allowed me to lower my arm for a break. In regards to pain, on a scale 1-10, very mild at the most a 4 (it is more just a weird pressure feeling).
Post:
Right after the procedure your armpits are numb, 3 hours later, it starts to feel like your armpits are sunburnt. I went to work after my procedure...I do not recommend. Keep ice close by, you will need it. Squeeze a water bottle slightly (4 total) and put in freezer night before, so when you feel pain you can put under your armpits. It really helps. (put a paper towel in between the ice and your skin). You will see some bumps and redness (totally normal). If you are a guy who is concerned about your armpit hair, it will grow back. Haha.
Grateful:
I am so glad I got the Miradry done in my armpits. I have a lot more confidence, especially when I go on business trips and traveling. It is amazing. People ask me, "well if my sweatglands in my armpits are eliminated, then I will sweat more somewhere else"....not true, there are only 2% of your sweatglands in your armpits. The Best part is you will see results immediately!!
Thank you Dr. Place!
