What treats excessive sweating, and which option fits?
Hyperhidrosis is sweating beyond what the body needs. For underarms, miraDry gives long-term reduction and Botox gives 4–6 months of relief; for palms and feet, Botox is the main clinic option.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, both are priced at consultation in won.

Microwave energy, targeted
Microwaves heat the layer where sweat and odour glands sit.
Cooling protects the skin surface.
Glands that are destroyed do not grow back, so results are long-lasting.
