The short answer

What is miraDry Results, and is it right for you?

Most patients notice less underarm sweat immediately after miraDry, with results stable after swelling settles. Some people choose a second session for further reduction.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, miraDry is priced at consultation after checking sweat level and the number of sessions you need; we confirm the total in won before you book.

Honest suitability

Who miraDry Results suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Heavy underarm sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis)
  • Underarm odour (bromhidrosis)
  • Sweat stains on clothes
  • Botox that wears off too quickly
  • Wanting a long-term solution

Probably not the first choice

  • Sweating elsewhere (hands, feet)
  • Pacemakers or implanted electronics
  • Pregnancy
  • Active underarm infection
  • Needing underarm sweat glands for medical reasons
How it works

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.
