What to expect if you need to work the following day
Temporary symptoms may include swelling, redness, itching, tightness, tingling, uneven skin texture and firm or lumpy areas beneath the skin. These symptoms may improve and then temporarily reappear during the healing process.
How noticeable the symptoms are varies from person to person. Do not assume that your underarms will look or feel completely normal the following day. Wear a loose-fitting top that does not rub against the treated area, and avoid scheduling strenuous upper-body activity immediately after treatment.
You may shower approximately three to four hours after treatment. Flying is recommended approximately four hours after treatment.
Do not drive immediately after the procedure. You may drive once the local anesthesia has worn off and sensation in your arms and fingertips has fully returned.

How miraDry Fresh works
miraDry Fresh is an energy-based treatment that uses microwave energy with a cooling system. It delivers energy to the underarm area where the sweat glands are located.
The FDA clearance covers the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Underarm odor may improve as sweat glands are treated, but odor is not stated as a separate indication in that clearance. miraDry is designed for the underarms and is not indicated for sweating of the hands or feet.
The doctor assesses your underarm area, sweat distribution and skin condition before determining the treatment range. Min Clinic does not apply a separate miraDry treatment standard based on sex.
Consultation and treatment at Min Clinic
A senior consultation manager conducts the initial consultation. You then have a detailed consultation with the doctor about your underarm area, sweat distribution, skin condition and planned treatment range.
The doctor completes the medical assessment, designs the treatment and performs miraDry Fresh.
Most patients begin with one treatment. If another treatment is considered necessary, the doctor reassesses the patient’s condition. An additional treatment may be considered at least six months after the first session.
Same-day treatment may be available with advance booking, depending on the doctor’s assessment and appointment availability.
Min Clinic does not perform miraDry or other medical aesthetic procedures during pregnancy. Skincare treatments may be available after consultation.
What the price includes
miraDry Fresh is performed on both underarms. The price varies depending on the size of your underarm area and the planned treatment range.
The quoted price includes:
- Local anesthesia
- A personalized treatment design for both underarms
- The procedure performed by a doctor
- Post-treatment care
- A dedicated aftercare kit
VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate.
When comparing clinics, make sure each quote covers both underarms. Also confirm whether the clinic uses an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips, whether a doctor performs the procedure and whether anesthesia and aftercare are included.
Preparing for your appointment
Shave both underarms three to four days before treatment, taking care not to cause cuts or irritation. Do not shave again before your appointment, and 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 and provide the names of any medications you are currently taking.
Wear comfortable clothing that gives you enough room around the underarms after the procedure.
