Created an account just to post on here and help you guys out. I have hyperhidrosis and have been affected by underarm sweat for years. I have tried everything from otc products to drysol to glycopyrrolate [anticholinergic/works same way as clonidine (source: pharmacy student)]. Nothing was good enough. I didnt wanna try ETS cause it can cause some severe side effects. Botox can be painful and expensive. I heard about MiraDry. Its a non-invasive procedure that burns away sweat glands in the armpits using electromagnetic energy. The only side effects are swelling or hair loss. It is not covered by ins so it was $3000 for 2 procedures (which results in a permanent solution for hyperhidrosis). It has changed my life. Have you guys heard about it?

Sorry I didn't clarify! Just armpit hair loss. Which I'm sure some people might prefer I suppose

I would constantly sweat through shirts, even through multiple layers. I am not a socially anxious person by any means and yet I would sweat more than a shower drain..I had it done about a month ago. The 2nd procedure is 3 months later so I wont have it for another 2 months. The 2nd procedure is to burn away the deeper glands that have now become superficial (20% of symptoms come back after the first procedure). I had significant swelling afterwards for about a week but thats natural. Haven't had to use deodorant since (bacteria thrives off moist environments and causes odor).

sorry, it doesn't
