reviews miradry treatment against unwanted sweating

PATIENT 1:

A few weeks ago I underwent the miraDry treatment at the Global Care Clinic. 

MiraDry, what exactly is that? 
MiraDry is a treatment that was originally intended for hyperhidrosis patients (sweating a lot, especially under the armpits).

Over the years they have discovered that the miraDry can also be applied to patients who want more comfort in daily life and no longer want to use harmful deodorants etc.

I am one of these patients, I myself have never suffered from sweat and smell under my armpits, but the comfort appealed to me more.

The miraDry treatment itself goes smoothly and without too much pain and injections.

1. First, the armpits are properly disinfected and the sweat test is done to see in which places you sweat the most
2. Based on this test, the grid is chosen, this grid is used to treat the entire armpit surface.
3. After disinfecting, Doctor Nelissen will anesthetize both armpits, here you feel something, and that's all.
4. The least unpleasant part of the treatment is now over and you are not far away from sweatless and odorless armpits 😊 After the treatment, the armpits are disinfected again and cooling packs are placed to cool down and provide soothing.

It is advisable to take Ibuprofen within 1 to 2 hours after the treatment, this can possibly be alternated with Paracetamol. The only annoying thing that can be observed is a burning sensation and the swelling. The swelling and bruising can last for a few days to weeks, but pain or a burning sensation is no longer there. It is possible that the swelling pulls to the arms or more to the side of the chest area. These side effects disappear into thin air when you notice what a difference this makes in your daily actions! 

Furthermore, I would not make great physical efforts on the day of the treatment such as vacuuming or shopping. The further use of the cooling pack can offer some soothing. In the days after the treatment you will already notice a reduction in swelling and bruising. Occasionally a tingling in the arms or in the shoulders can be observed but this does not bother. 
Immediately after the treatment you will notice a significant difference, the armpits are already dry!  😊

A week and a half later, there is no more swelling or bruising and you are rid of sweating and smelling armpits for good! The feeling of comfort is unimaginable. I have not used a deodorant since the treatment and have not noticed a single smell. 

I would recommend the miraDry treatment to anyone!

Patiënt 2:

Actually, I didn't really have a problem of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). 

So why did I have it done? Especially for the daily comfort. Apparently there are more people who undergo the treatment only to get more comfort in daily life. In the United States, many well-known movie stars have been treated with MiraDry, who used to have their armpits botoxed for a gala evening. The decisive factor for me was that I regularly had  irritations under the armpits when using deodorant and also that I was worried about the harmful effects of deodorant (aluminum and parabens).

So the treatment was carried out in March. In the meantime we are half a year and .... a warm summer further😎.

Would I have the MiraDry done again? Without a doubt, yes. I see even more benefits now than before...

1. I didn't have to use any deodorant at all.  Even on vacation during the hottest periods of the day, I can wear all types of clothing (including delicate fabrics that are difficult to wash) without having to spray deodorant. So I also have to take a lot less clothes with me in my luggage. Not to mention the total cost when you add up how much deodorant you buy per year.
2. no more wet circles under my armpits when I'm nervous or stressed.
3. delicate fabrics such as silk and wool I can now just wash on a special program without an armpit sweat smell lingering. So also less costs to the dry cleaning. 

For me, the treatment itself was painless (and I think of myself that I have a normal pain threshold). The only annoying thing is the administration of the anesthetic, but after that you no longer feel anything outside of a slight warm sensation towards the edges of the treated area. Immediately afterwards, icepacks were inserted under the arms. The following days the skin was swollen and irritated (blue) but that's peanuts compared to the results and lifelong pleasure.

I can now perfectly imagine that this is a must-treatment for hyperhidrosis patients but could not imagine how my quality of life has improved as a non-hyperhidrosis patient!
