Hyperhidrosis Treatment in Korea: miraDry vs Botox vs Other Options

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can affect confidence and daily life. Korea offers several effective treatments. Here is how they compare.

1. Antiperspirants

Clinical-strength antiperspirants are the first step for mild sweating.

2. Underarm Botox

Botox blocks nerve signals to sweat glands. Treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes and lasts four to six months. Price: KRW 400,000 to KRW 900,000.

3. miraDry

miraDry destroys underarm sweat glands with microwave energy, usually in one session, for long-lasting results. Price at MIN Clinic: KRW 1,900,000 to KRW 2,500,000.

4. Surgery

Surgical options exist for severe cases but involve more risk and recovery.

5. Which is right for you?

Mild sweating: antiperspirants.

Temporary relief: Botox.

Long-term underarm solution: miraDry.

6. Planning as a visitor

Botox fits easily into short trips. miraDry requires a longer visit for recovery but provides lasting results.

Botox offers temporary relief, while miraDry offers long-term underarm sweat reduction. Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp, or explore our miraDry and underarm Botox pages.
