What Is miraDry

miraDry is a non-surgical energy treatment that targets and eliminates sweat and odor glands in the underarm. By treating the source, it can significantly reduce sweating (and often hair in the treated zone) with little to no downtime.

Why Choose Min Clinic for miraDry

• Physician-led protocols and precise mapping for consistent results
• Focus on comfort and skin safety with cooling and local anesthesia
• English-friendly team, convenient Gangnam location (near Apgujeong · Cheongdam)

Who Is a Good Candidate

• Noticeable underarm sweat that affects daily life, fashion choices, or confidence
• Persistent underarm odor (bromhidrosis) despite antiperspirants/clinical deodorants
• Preference for a non-surgical, once-and-done style solution
• No active skin infection or recent procedures in the underarm area

How miraDry Works

Controlled thermal energy is delivered to the layer where sweat and odor glands live. These glands do not regenerate, so reductions are long-lasting. Integrated cooling protects the skin surface while precise energy targets the glandular layer.

Treatment Areas

• Underarms (axillae) — sweat, odor, and often hair reduction in the treated field

What to Expect: Step by Step

1. Consultation & Assessment – review goals, medical history, and sweat pattern
2. Numbing & Marking – local anesthesia for comfort; grid mapping for accuracy
3. Energy Delivery – device handpiece treats mapped zones in passes
4. Cooling & Wrap – brief icing and post-care instructions
5. Back to Routine – many return to normal activities the same day

Results & Timeline

• Many clients feel a significant drop in sweat and odor immediately
• Results stabilize over weeks as the area settles
• A single comprehensive session is common; a second session may be suggested for heavy sweaters or larger fields

Comfort, Safety & Downtime

• Local anesthesia keeps discomfort low for most clients
• Temporary swelling, tenderness, fullness, numbness, or bruising can occur and usually resolves in days to weeks
• Most resume work/social plans quickly; avoid intense workouts for 24–48 hours as advised

Aftercare Essentials

• Ice the area intermittently for the first 24–48 hours
• Sleep with arms elevated the first night if swollen
• Wear loose tops; avoid friction for a few days
• Delay hot yoga/sauna and vigorous upper-body workouts for 1–2 days
• Follow any topical care instructions from your clinician

FAQs

How permanent are the results?

The targeted sweat and odor glands are eliminated and do not regenerate. Remaining glands elsewhere on the body still function normally.

Will miraDry also reduce underarm hair?

Many notice less hair growth in the treated field. Hair reduction is a benefit, but not the primary indication.

Can I do this if I have darker skin?

Yes. With proper parameters and technique, miraDry is suitable across all skin tones.

Will I stop sweating everywhere?

No—only the treated underarm glands are reduced. Your body continues to regulate temperature using sweat glands elsewhere.

Do I need more than one session?

Many are satisfied after one session. For severe sweat or larger fields, a second session may be planned for added reduction.

Pricing & Packages

Your investment depends on sweat severity, field size, and whether a second session is planned. You’ll receive a transparent quote and, if helpful, package options at consultation.
