What to verify before a second miraDry treatment
If you have already received miraDry, information about your first procedure can help the doctor assess whether another treatment is appropriate.
If available, tell the clinic when the first treatment was performed, which areas were treated, how your sweating or odor changed, and how you recovered. The doctor can then assess your current underarm area, sweat distribution, and skin condition before planning the next treatment.
Min Clinic uses an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine single-use BioTips. A new genuine BioTip is shown to the patient and opened before treatment.
The clinic also displays an official miraDry clinic certification plaque. An authenticity certificate is provided to international patients.
These are the relevant authenticity checks for miraDry. The certificate provided to international patients should not be described as containing a BioTip lot number or guaranteeing one year of aftercare.
What miraDry is cleared to treat
miraDry Fresh is an energy-based treatment that uses microwave energy with a cooling system. It targets the underarm area where sweat glands are located.
The miraDry system is FDA-cleared for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Underarm odor may improve as sweat-gland activity is reduced, but odor is not listed as the cleared indication. Individual results may vary.
The treatment is intended for the underarms and is not indicated for sweating of the hands or feet.
How a repeat treatment is planned
At Min Clinic, a senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation. The doctor then assesses the patient’s underarm size, sweat distribution, skin condition, and response to the previous treatment.
Based on this assessment, the doctor designs the treatment range and performs the miraDry Fresh procedure directly.
Min Clinic does not use a separate treatment standard based on sex. The treatment area and price are determined by the individual patient’s underarm size and planned treatment range.
Most patients begin with one treatment. If an additional treatment is considered necessary, it may be considered at least six months after the first session following an assessment by the doctor.
Same-day treatment may be available with advance booking, depending on the doctor’s assessment and the clinic schedule. Patients who want to complete the consultation and treatment in one visit should request this when booking.
Comparing quotes for both underarms
When comparing quotes from clinics in Cheongdam, first confirm whether the price covers both underarms.
You should also check:

- Whether an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips are used
- Whether the procedure is performed directly by a doctor
- Whether local anesthesia is included
- Whether post-treatment care is included

At Min Clinic, the price varies according to the patient’s underarm size and planned treatment range for both underarms.
The quoted price includes local anesthesia, a personalized underarm treatment design, the procedure performed directly by a doctor, post-treatment care, and a dedicated aftercare kit.
VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate. International and Korean patients are charged according to the same price policy, and there is no additional card surcharge.
Preparing for the appointment
Patients should shave both underarms three to four days before treatment, taking care to avoid cuts or irritation.
After shaving, they should not shave again before the appointment. Underarm hair should not be plucked or waxed.
Antiperspirants and deodorants should be discontinued five to seven days before treatment.
On the day of treatment, patients should avoid tight-fitting tops that may irritate the underarm area. They should also provide the names of any medications they are currently taking.
Recovery after a second treatment
The recovery process varies between patients. Symptoms may improve and then temporarily reappear as the treated tissue heals.
Possible temporary symptoms include:
- Itching
- Redness
- Tightness
- Tingling
- Uneven skin texture
- Firm or lumpy areas under the skin
The healing process may take approximately four to twelve weeks. Patients should expect to monitor their recovery for up to three months and contact Min Clinic if they have questions or experience discomfort during this period.
This does not mean that the clinic provides a guaranteed three-month follow-up program. It describes the period during which patients may continue to observe changes in the treated area.
After one week, patients may begin with gentle stretching and gradually resume exercise according to their recovery.
Light underarm shaving with a razor may also be resumed after one week if the skin is not irritated. Plucking, waxing, and other hair-removal methods should be avoided during healing.
Showering, driving, and flying
Showering is possible approximately three to four hours after treatment.
Flying is recommended approximately four hours after treatment. Patients should consider their condition and travel schedule when planning a same-day flight.
Patients should not drive immediately after the procedure. Driving is possible after the local anesthesia has worn off and sensation in the arms and fingertips has fully returned.
A dedicated aftercare kit is included, and the clinic provides instructions on how to use it.
