welcome Hi we're here at BC laser my name is
Dr Shah I'm the physician here at BC laser I've got Jas here who actually works
for us and is the person going to be having a Miradry treatment and Laurie
here has done many of these treatments and she's actually going to smile for a
change but no if she doesn't like it but doesn't matter.
That's anyway so today we're going to talk about miraDry and we're gonna talk
about antiperspirants. Have a look at all these antiperspirants I'll bet you
you have used all of these fine specimens here and you know - certainly use them all
but did you know that they only work 20% of the time and did you know that you
know you don't need to use them. You don't need to use any of these you can
actually get a permanent reduction of your sweating
very easily by using a Miradry treatment that we're showing you here so
make sure you follow us and make sure like us so you can see the future videos.
This is our second video for miraDry and we've got people here who have the Miradry
treatment done so they'll be coming in to tell us what's going on. The
problem here is that people who come to us usually have a decided that they
don't want to sweat. Some people sweat a lot some people have an odorous problem.
some people find that when they go dating they have a tough time
with business so therefore it's can be very embarrassing so we want to help you
with that by
showing you how Miradry treatment can reduce sweating with one treatment.
Make sure you ask us questions through
email or through Facebook Dr Shah, Christina is asking is it painful
and does it take longer than one treatment. Yes that's a great question
for 75% of people only need one treatment and another 20% people need a
second treatment but majority of the people only need one treatment. and look
at Jas you get numbed beforehand with injections and then the treatment itself
is quite comfortable. How long is the treatment the numbing process takes
about 10 minutes and the treatment itself takes about 30-40 minutes
Is financing available in your clinic ? Yes financing available yes through
medicard and couple others so yes. You can come and discuss other question.
Dr. Shah, is it unhealthy to block or your sweat glands? clients asking, is
it natural to be able to sweat, is it going to affect their health?
No it isn't, only four percent of your sweat glands are actually in the
armpits and you don't actually need those sweat glands, bit like hair in
the armpits a lot of people get it lasered because there's a lifestyle choice and
so therefore a lot of people choose not to sweat in the armpits as a lifestyle
choice. Some of you may find that you know you're doing a... we just had a
lady last week doing presentations at work and she finds that
very stressful and sweats and her shirts, light shirts go quite
dark very quickly and so therefore she was only wearing dark shirts. After
treatment she had her first presentation this week and she was doing very well
and very happy. Dr. Shah is the candidate a
specific kind of person can anybody get the treatment?
Mostly anybody can get the treatment done.
Most people are suitable for treatment, just if you have any questions about if
you have any particular medical conditions send us an email or send us a
comments for Facebook but we'll let you know.
Diana's asking exactly how does the treatment work ? Well that's a great
question. What happens is we numb the area and
literally the Miradry using microwave technology destroys the sweat glands, it
doesn't destroy the skin. The skin is perfectly normal afterwards and the skin
is fine you will get some swelling for a few days but that swelling will
completely subside. Why would I get miradry or how do I know mirdary or Botox
injection is best? Botox injection is something that people do do for
sweating in the armpit. Botox injections work but they're only temporary Miradry
is a permanent solution. And of your treatments in office what's your
success rate? Our success rate so far with the hundreds treatments we've done
has been 86% for the first treatment and about 14% for
a second treatment but the in the national centers whether big travel was
done the rough success rate is 75% to the first treatment , so first treatment
usually is all that's needed. Usually like for a small percent a
second time treatment. yes most people only require one treatment?
Can I get the treatment right away? Yes after a consultation we always
do a consultation first and then we can do the treatment. How long between the
first and second treatment do i have to wait. What we do is a treatment and then we wait
at least three months because some sweating reduces immediately and some
sweating still takes a few weeks to completely switch off so we like to wait
at least three months between treatments. And how soon do you see those results
after your first treatment? after your first treatment you'll see the results
in the first night.Ashley has a question , she was just wondering will this also
eliminate odor as well? Absolutely we get lots of people coming in just for
odour they've had bad odour experiences and that's traumatized them and say you
don't want to have any do with odour and so that's ( Miradry) allowed let's them to function
happily My wife has had the Miradry treatment
done for odour and it works very well.
Let's focus in on Jas. Jas, how you feeling ? Very comfortable.
Is it painful what are the aftercare? Basically afterwards for the first three
days you will get some swelling ,most people will get some swelling and then
you will get some swelling that is mild but usually I recommend you rest for 24
hours . How long does the treatment last for? For at least an hour with all the
preparation. Be sure to follow us , tap us because we will be doing more videos
about this and if you're just joining us I would like to introduce Jas who's
having a Miradry treatment and Laurie who's doing the treatment normally she
is extremely loud and boisterous but she's actually very quiet which is
shocking and Diane who's actually had treatment she's gonna come and join me
here and she's gonna sit. Can you tell us about your experience Diane? Absolutely
so I have the treatment at our last Facebook live video I was super nervous
and if you chipped in last time you'd notice I really felt nothing. Like Dr.
Shah said my first night there was a little bit of discomfort I but before
you know, it in a few days, I was back in my routine. It didn't stop me from my
day-to-day tasks. Just a few days off the gym from working out right,
heavy lifting but treatment Friday back at the gym on Monday. Now for myself it
wasn't that I had excessive sweating, what I do is I'm at the gym five days a
week Anybody who knows me and deoderants are
great but all the aluminum I didn't feel good about putting that on my body. All
it does is really clog and plug those pores so and also when you're putting
deodorant on it's gonna mask the sweat but it's not gonna eliminate the sweat so I
can go hard now working out and I'm sweating everywhere but
my underarms and as a lady that's what i want and you know doesn't put me in
like compromising positions where if I have to go somewhere afterwards I'm
worried about pit stains, I'm worried about did that deodorant like work that 100%.
So really life-changing and I would encourage you know anybody to get the
treatment . It's just you know as a woman we worry about our hair and our nails
I don't worry about my sweat. By the way 50% of people come in from their Miradry
treatments are actually feel very confident . Just life-changing right.
Awesome thanks guys I'm going to leave it to Dr. Shah and just enjoy your
treatment bye. So any more questions that are coming up?
it's commented that she's heard so many great things about your
clinic and I just want a shout out to her thank you thank you
So I just want to show everyone these are all the antiperspirants and
deodorants that people take and do we really need those guys? Not after Miradry!!!
