miraDry FAQ

Your questions, answered

1. What is miraDry?

miraDry is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment that permanently reduces underarm sweat, odor and hair by eliminating sweat glands using thermal energy. It is safe, effective and requires little to no downtime.

2. Is the miraDry treatment permanent?

Yes. Sweat glands do not regenerate once destroyed, so the results are long-lasting. Most patients see an 80–90% reduction in underarm sweat and odor after one or two sessions.

3. Is the procedure painful?

Local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area for comfort throughout the session. You may feel slight pressure or warmth, but most patients describe it as very tolerable.

4. How long does the procedure take?

A typical session takes about one hour, including preparation and treatment. You can return to most daily activities immediately afterward.

5. Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, numbness or soreness in the underarm area. These usually subside within a few days to a week.

6. Will I still sweat normally after miraDry?

Yes. Your body has over 2 million sweat glands and only about 2% are in the underarms. miraDry treats only the underarm area, so your body still regulates temperature naturally.

7. How many treatments do I need?

Most patients achieve their desired results after one treatment. Depending on your condition, a second session may be recommended for optimal results — with 20% off within one year at YAAN Clinic.

8. Can miraDry help with body odor (bromhidrosis)?

Yes. Because miraDry removes odor-producing glands, it significantly reduces or eliminates underarm odor as well as sweat.

9. Who is a good candidate for miraDry?

You may be a good candidate if you suffer from excessive underarm sweating, have tried deodorants, antiperspirants or Botox without success, want a permanent non-surgical solution, or experience body odor related to sweat glands.

10. Is miraDry available at YAAN Clinic for international patients?

Yes! Seoul Sweat Clinic, the specialized miraDry team at YAAN Clinic, offers miraDry with English and Chinese interpreter support. We welcome patients from around the world and make booking easy for travelers.
