Anyone tried Miradry?? (Procedure for underarms to stop sweating)

I never had a procedure but I used Drysol in high school and it worked well. I've actually never heard of Miradry. Deff following.

I tried drysol & if I'm remembering correctly, it irritated my skin, but still left me sweating. :/

Seconding Drysol. I did it in high school and I still don't sweat much from my pits.

My BFFs ex had a procedure many many years ago and it worked, but I am not sure if it was Miradry. Before this he had such overactive sweat glands his shirts were soaked and his hands even sweated so badly his sandwiches would be completely soaked.

The procedure stopped it, but his hands would be completely dry and crack if he wasn't careful.

I THINK miradry is only for underarms, so perhaps he had another procedure.... sounds like it was crazy-effective though! Wow!

Ok I just looked up Miradry's website and I think I have heard of it.

The website isn't too clear but is it the procedure where they permanently (or semi-permanently) tie off/remove your sweat glands? If Drysol didn't work for me, it was something I was going to look into. The only negative thing I remember hearing was that it causes you to overcompensate in other areas so your hands and other places will be sweatier than usual.

I thought they just like.... nuked the sweat glands!

Not sure exactly how that works.

I HOPE it doesn't cause your other sweaty areas to just get sweatier!

Eeeeeek!!!!

I had MiraDry and it did cut down on a significant amount of sweating! I still sweat when very hot or extra anxious but it has helped so much.

My BFF had it done and described it to me bc my son has the same hyperhydrosis issue. She said they basically "nuke" the sweat glands (think microwave) using a wand like instrument. Its been almost two years and she doesnt even have to use deodorant anymore. She did say the side effect was compensating sweat but hasnt experienced it herself.

Ooooh!!!! THAT would be amazing!!

No deodorant??!

I think I've spent so much money on different types of deodorant that even if I NEVER bought more.... I'd still have overspent in that area. :/

LOL. thats basically how she felt. White tees are now a staple.

I doublechecked and she said she had 2 sessions, about 2 hours each. The most uncomfortable part for her was the numbing process at the beginning, but if youve done Botox, that should be a breeze!

@Randi, I looked it up and you are correct, it must have been a different procedure. The Miradry site says it doesn't work for other areas such as hands and feet, sorry.

Oh no worries!!

I'm always happy to learn about ANY new methods for sweat-reduction!!
