What determines the miraDry price

* **Treatment area:** miraDry Fresh is performed on both underarms. The price varies depending on the size of the underarm area and the planned treatment range. * **Personalized design:** The doctor evaluates the underarm area, sweat distribution and skin condition before designing the treatment map. * **Treatment provider:** miraDry Fresh is performed by a doctor at Min Clinic. * **Local anesthesia:** Local underarm anesthesia is included in the quoted price. * **Aftercare:** Post-treatment care and a dedicated aftercare kit are included. * **VAT:** VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate. * **Sex:** Min Clinic does not apply a separate miraDry treatment standard based on sex. The treatment plan and price are determined by the individual underarm area and planned treatment range.

For an exact quotation, contact the clinic and provide any relevant information about the size of the area, previous treatment and the main concern.

How to compare miraDry quotations

When comparing clinics, check whether the quotation:

* Covers both underarms * Reflects the size of the underarm area * Includes a personalized treatment design * Includes local underarm anesthesia * Includes treatment performed by a doctor * Includes post-treatment care * Includes a dedicated aftercare kit * Uses an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips * Comes from an officially certified miraDry clinic * Includes or excludes VAT

miraDry is not priced by dose or shot count. Two quotations may not be directly comparable if the planned treatment areas or included services are different.

What miraDry Fresh is

miraDry Fresh is an energy-based treatment that uses microwave energy with a cooling system. The energy is delivered to the underarm area where sweat glands are located.

The treatment is intended to reduce underarm sweating. It may also affect odor glands and hair follicles within the treated area.

In the United States, FDA 510(k) K103014 cleared the miraDry System for the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Odor reduction is not included in that specific clearance wording, and miraDry is not intended for sweating of the hands or feet.

Consultation and personalized design

A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation, followed by an assessment with the doctor.

Min Clinic does not use the EVE V MUSE skin analyzer for miraDry consultations. Instead, the doctor evaluates:

* The size of the underarm area * The distribution of sweating * Skin condition in the treatment area * Previous underarm procedures * Current medications * Any irritation, wounds or inflammation * The patient’s treatment goal

The doctor then designs the treatment range for both underarms.

A consultation may take approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Actual consultation time may vary depending on the patient’s condition, interpretation needs and questions. Same-day treatment may be available depending on the clinic schedule and the doctor’s assessment.

Who performs miraDry at Min Clinic

At Min Clinic, miraDry Fresh is performed by a doctor. The doctor assesses the patient’s underarm area, sweat distribution and skin condition before designing and performing the treatment.

Min Clinic does not apply different treatment standards solely because a patient is male or female. The treatment range and price are based on the individual underarm area and planned treatment range.

Skincare treatments are provided separately from medical aesthetic procedures.

Authentic device and BioTip verification

Min Clinic is an officially certified miraDry clinic and uses the latest authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips.

Before treatment, a new genuine BioTip is presented and opened in front of the patient. This is the primary in-room authentication step for miraDry Fresh.

International patients receive an authenticity certificate after the procedure. The certificate provided to international patients should not be described as containing a BioTip LOT number or a one-year aftercare guarantee.

Authentication methods differ by procedure. Shot-count verification used for another device should not be applied to miraDry Fresh content.

Preparing for miraDry Fresh

Follow these instructions before treatment:

* Shave both underarms three to four days before the appointment. * Take care not to cause cuts or irritation while shaving. * Do not shave again before the treatment. * 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 are currently taking. * Inform the clinic about skin irritation, open wounds or inflammation in the treatment area.

Following these instructions helps reduce avoidable irritation and allows the doctor to assess the treatment area clearly.

What happens on the day

The complete appointment includes consultation, treatment design, local anesthesia, treatment and aftercare guidance.

The miraDry procedure itself may take approximately 60 minutes. Actual appointment time varies depending on the size of the underarm area, treatment design, anesthesia and preparation.

Local anesthesia is administered to the underarm area. The anesthetic may take approximately two hours to wear off completely.

Patients should not drive immediately after treatment. Driving should be resumed only after the anesthetic has worn off and sensation in the arms and fingertips has sufficiently returned.

Showering, flying and daily activity

* **Showering:** Same-day showering is possible approximately three to four hours after treatment. * **Driving:** Do not drive immediately after treatment. Wait until the local anesthetic has worn off and sensation in the arms and fingertips has returned. * **Flying:** Same-day air travel may be possible, but Min Clinic generally advises allowing approximately four hours after treatment so the local anesthetic can wear off and sensation can return. * **Exercise:** After one week, begin with gentle stretching and gradually resume exercise according to your recovery. * **Hair removal:** Light underarm shaving with a razor may be resumed after one week if the skin is not irritated. Avoid waxing, plucking and other hair-removal methods during the healing period.

Individual recovery varies. Follow the clinic’s instructions if pain, swelling or limited arm movement continues.

Recovery timeline

Common temporary reactions may include:

* Pain * Swelling * Injection marks * Bruising * Itching * Redness * Tightness * Tingling * Uneven skin texture * Firm or lumpy areas under the skin * Taut-band-like changes during healing

Pain may continue for approximately one to two days. Swelling, injection marks or bruising may remain for approximately one to two weeks.

During the healing process, symptoms may improve and then temporarily reappear. Firm or lumpy areas and changes in the texture of the underarm skin may become noticeable during recovery and gradually improve.

The healing process may take approximately four to twelve weeks and varies considerably between individuals. Patients should expect to monitor their recovery for up to approximately three months and contact Min Clinic if they have questions or experience discomfort during this period.

Number of sessions

Most patients begin with one miraDry Fresh treatment.

If the patient feels that additional improvement is needed, the doctor can reassess the underarm area and response to the first treatment. A follow-up treatment may be considered at least six months after the first session.

The need for an additional treatment is not determined in advance for every patient.

Pregnancy policy

Min Clinic does not perform medical aesthetic procedures, including miraDry Fresh, during pregnancy. Skincare treatments may be available after consultation.

Patients who are pregnant, may be pregnant or are planning pregnancy should inform the clinic before booking.
