What miraDry is
miraDry Fresh is an energy-based treatment that uses microwave energy with a cooling system. It is designed to treat the underarm area by delivering energy to the area where sweat glands are located.
The FDA clearance covers the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Underarm odor may also 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.
Being in your twenties does not automatically determine whether you need treatment. The doctor assesses your underarm area, sweat distribution, skin condition and concerns before recommending whether miraDry is appropriate.
How Min Clinic plans miraDry treatment
Min Clinic does not apply a separate miraDry treatment standard based on sex or age. The doctor assesses each patient’s underarm area, sweat distribution and skin condition to create a personalized treatment design.
miraDry Fresh is performed on both underarms. The treatment range and price may vary depending on the size of your underarm area and the planned treatment range.
The quoted price includes:
- Local anesthesia
- A personalized underarm treatment design
- The procedure performed by a doctor
- Post-treatment care
- A dedicated aftercare kit
VAT is charged separately at the applicable statutory rate.
Most patients begin with one treatment. If an additional treatment is considered necessary, the doctor assesses the patient’s condition before deciding whether another treatment is appropriate. An additional session may be considered at least six months after the first treatment.
Checking authenticity
Min Clinic is an officially certified miraDry clinic and displays the miraDry headquarters certification plaque at the clinic.
The clinic uses the latest authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips. A new, genuine single-use BioTip is shown to the patient and opened before treatment.
After treatment, the patient receives an authenticity certificate. When comparing clinics, confirm whether the clinic uses an authentic miraDry Fresh system and genuine BioTips, whether a new BioTip is opened before treatment, and whether the procedure is performed by a doctor.
Comparing miraDry quotes
Two miraDry quotes are only comparable when they cover the same treatment conditions. Check whether the quote applies to both underarms and how the clinic determines the treatment range.
Ask each clinic about the following:
- Whether the price covers both underarms
- How the size of the underarm area affects the treatment range
- Whether the clinic is an officially certified miraDry provider
- Whether it uses the latest authentic miraDry Fresh system
- Whether a genuine BioTip is opened before treatment
- Who designs and performs the procedure
- Whether local anesthesia is included
- Whether post-treatment care and an aftercare kit are included
- Whether VAT is included or charged separately
Min Clinic applies the same pricing policy to Korean and international patients and does not charge an additional card-processing fee.
Preparing for treatment
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. On the day of your appointment, avoid tight-fitting tops and provide the names of any medications you are currently taking.
Local anesthesia is used during the procedure. Because sensation may take time to return fully, do not drive immediately after treatment. You may drive once the local anesthesia has worn off and sensation in your arms and fingertips has fully returned.
What recovery may feel like
During the healing process, symptoms may improve and then temporarily reappear. Possible temporary symptoms include:
- Itching
- Redness
- Tightness
- Tingling
- Uneven skin texture
- Firm or lumpy areas beneath the skin
Recovery may take approximately four to twelve weeks and varies considerably between individuals. Contact Min Clinic if you have questions or experience discomfort during this period.
Showering is possible approximately three to four hours after treatment. Flying is recommended approximately four hours after treatment.
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. Avoid other hair-removal methods during the healing period.
