Two treatments (she had the procedure twice, with the practitioner noting two treatments are usual).
About 80% reduction ("At least 80. 80%, no sweating.").
Approximately 7–10 days, maybe up to two weeks.
No — she reported no (or minimal) pain.
The clinician said she would probably have almost 100% reduction in sweating after the second treatment.
Okay, Tanisha, tell me what procedure you had done.
I had the mirror dry done.
And what'd you do that for?
Excess sweating.
And tell me how the excess sweating kind of bothered your life. Tanisha.
Just didn't want to raise my arms up. Just self conscious about am I sweating? Am I smelling? Just self conscious about that.
Did it affect what clothes you bought and stuff? Yes. And so you had the mirror dry two months ago, and we did it again. Usually we did two treatments. And how much reduction did you have in your sweating?
At least 80. 80%, no sweating.
And we want to tell patients, too, that there's definitely a little downside to it. You get some swelling afterwards. But did it affect you at all, what you were doing?
No, it was fine. It was tolerable.
Okay. How many weeks did you have swelling?
I would say maybe seven. Seven to 10 days. Maybe up to two weeks.
Two weeks. And did you have much pain?
No.
Good. And you happy you did.
It? Yes, very happy.
Well, typically, after your second treatment will see an additional reduction. She'll probably have almost 100% reduction in your sweating. Thank you very much, Neisha.
