MIRADRY PRE-AND-POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS
miraDry Pre-Care Instructions:
-
4 – 6 Days Before Procedure: Shave both underarms; by the time you come in for your procedure, there will be a little bit of hair growth to identify the area to be treated. If you forget to shave, we will recommend that you reschedule your procedure date.
-
1 Day Before Procedure: Do not wear any deodorant or antiperspirant.
-
Day of Procedure: Wear clothes with loose armholes for easy access to the treatment site, e.g. tank top, sports bra, or camisole
miraDry Post-Care Instructions:
-
Immediately ice the treated area using towel-wrapped ice packs and use non-prescription anti-inflammatory medication (e.g. ibuprofen) to reduce swelling. Continue as needed over the new few days.
-
Keep the treated area clean (wash with water and gentle liquid soap) and apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment (e.g. Neosporin) to prevent infection.
-
Avoid shaving or applying antiperspirant/deodorant for the next few days. If deodorant/antiperspirant is still desired after the treatment, discard any partially used product and open a new product.
-
Wait a few days before resuming rigorous exercise and activity.
-
Wear loose-fitting tops to avoid underarm irritation for the next few days.
