What miraDry is and who performs it at Min Clinic
miraDry Fresh is an energy-based treatment that uses microwave energy with a cooling system. At Min Clinic, the doctor assesses your underarm size, sweat distribution and skin condition before designing the treatment range and performing the procedure.
Min Clinic does not apply a separate miraDry treatment standard based on sex. The treatment plan and price are based on the individual patient’s underarm area and the planned treatment range.
The miraDry system is FDA-cleared for treating primary axillary hyperhidrosis. This indication refers to excessive underarm sweating. It does not cover sweating of the hands or feet.
Checking authenticity
Min Clinic is an officially certified miraDry clinic and displays an official certification plaque issued by the miraDry headquarters.
The clinic uses an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips. A new BioTip is opened in front of you before treatment, and an authenticity certificate is provided after the procedure.
Planning around classes, exams and travel
Consultation and same-day treatment
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation. You then have a detailed consultation with the doctor about your underarm condition, treatment area and procedure plan. The doctor completes the medical assessment, designs the treatment range and performs the procedure.
A facial skin analysis is not part of the miraDry consultation. The plan is based on your underarm area, sweat distribution and skin condition.
Same-day treatment may be available with advance booking, depending on the doctor’s assessment. If you want to avoid multiple trips from Apgujeong Rodeo, request same-day treatment when making your appointment.
Treatment time
Treatment of both underarms takes approximately sixty minutes. This is an estimated reference time, and the actual duration may vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the individual plan.
Driving, showering and flying
Do not drive immediately after treatment. Wait until the local anesthetic has worn off and normal sensation has returned sufficiently to your arms and fingertips.
You may shower approximately three to four hours after treatment. Flying is generally recommended from approximately four hours after treatment if you have no unusual symptoms.
Exercise and hair removal
After one week, you may begin with gentle stretching and gradually resume exercise according to your recovery.
Light shaving with a razor may also be resumed after one week if the skin is not irritated. Avoid other hair-removal methods during the healing period.
Preparing for your appointment
Shave both underarms three to four days before treatment, taking care not to cause cuts or irritation.
After shaving:
- Do not shave again before your appointment
- Do not pluck or wax the underarm hair
- Stop using antiperspirants and deodorants five to seven days before treatment
- Avoid tight-fitting tops on the day of treatment
- Bring the names of any medications you currently take
International patients must bring a passport or another form of photo identification.
Recovery and aftercare
Temporary symptoms may include:
- Swelling
- Itching
- Redness
- Tightness
- Tingling
- Uneven skin texture
- Firm or lumpy areas under the skin
During recovery, symptoms may improve and then temporarily reappear. The overall healing process may take approximately four to twelve weeks and varies considerably between individuals.
Contact Min Clinic if you have questions or experience discomfort during your recovery.
How many sessions may be considered
Most patients begin with one treatment. This does not mean that an additional treatment is never considered.
If the doctor determines that another treatment may be helpful after assessing your condition, a follow-up treatment may be considered at least six months after the first session.
