If you are still deciding whether treatment is appropriate for you, the consultation gives you an opportunity to discuss your concerns, expected recovery and practical schedule before making a decision.
How to judge a miraDry clinic in Cheongdam when it is your first procedure
Before choosing a clinic, check whether it is officially certified by miraDry, uses an authentic miraDry Fresh system and opens a new genuine BioTip in front of the patient before treatment. Min Clinic meets these criteria and displays its official certification plaque at the clinic.
Ask who performs the procedure and how the treatment area is planned. Min Clinic does not apply a separate miraDry treatment standard based on sex. The doctor assesses the size of the underarm area, sweat distribution and skin condition before creating a personalized treatment design.
When comparing quotes, confirm the following:
- Whether both underarms are included
- The size and range of the planned treatment area
- Whether the clinic is an officially certified miraDry provider
- Whether an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips are used
- Whether the procedure is performed by a doctor
- Whether local anesthesia and personalized treatment design are included
- Whether post-treatment care and an aftercare kit are included
- Whether VAT is charged separately
What miraDry is—and deciding whether you need it now
The miraDry system from Miramar Labs uses microwave energy with a cooling system to treat the underarm area. FDA 510(k) K103014 lists primary axillary hyperhidrosis as its indicated use.
Odor may also improve as sweat glands are treated, but odor is not listed as a separate indication in that clearance. The device is intended for the underarms rather than the hands or feet.
If you are considering miraDry for the first time, the consultation can help determine whether your sweating pattern and concerns are suitable for the treatment. You can also discuss expected recovery and whether to proceed now or wait.
What to expect at Min Clinic: consultation, treatment and follow-up
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation. This is followed by a detailed consultation with the doctor about your underarm area, symptoms and treatment plan. English consultation can be arranged with interpretation support when booking.
The length of the consultation may vary depending on whether interpretation or a more detailed explanation is required. A consultation fee applies, with no additional VAT. If treatment is performed on the same day, the consultation fee is included in the final treatment fee.
If you and the doctor decide to proceed, miraDry Fresh is performed directly by a doctor. The treatment area is designed according to your underarm size, sweat distribution and skin condition.
Most patients begin with one treatment. If an additional treatment is considered necessary, the doctor assesses the patient’s condition, and a follow-up treatment may be considered at least six months after the first session.
Preparing for your appointment
Follow these instructions before your miraDry Fresh treatment:
- Shave both underarms three to four days before your appointment.
- Shave carefully to avoid cuts or skin irritation.
- Do not shave again before the appointment.
- Do not pluck or wax the underarm hair.
- Stop using antiperspirants and deodorants five to seven days before treatment.
- Avoid wearing a tight-fitting top on the day of treatment.
- Bring the names of any medications you are currently taking.
Local anesthesia is used for the procedure. Do not plan to drive immediately afterward. Driving is possible after the anesthetic has worn off and normal sensation has sufficiently returned to your arms and fingertips.
Recovery and aftercare
Showering is generally possible about three to four hours after treatment. Flying is recommended from about four hours after treatment.
During recovery, symptoms may improve and then temporarily return. Possible temporary reactions include:
- Itching
- Redness
- Tightness
- Tingling
- Uneven skin texture
- Firm or lumpy areas beneath the skin
The healing process may take approximately four to twelve weeks and varies considerably between individuals. Patients should monitor their recovery for up to three months and contact Min Clinic if they have questions or experience discomfort during this period.
After one week, you may begin with gentle stretching and gradually resume exercise according to your recovery. Light underarm shaving with a razor may also be resumed after one week if the skin is not irritated. Other hair-removal methods should be avoided during the healing period.
