miraDry vs Underarm Botox: Which Lasts Longer?
Both miraDry and underarm Botox reduce excessive sweating, but they work very differently and last for very different lengths of time.
1. How underarm Botox works
Botox blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes and results typically last four to six months.
2. How miraDry works
miraDry uses microwave energy to destroy sweat glands permanently. Glands do not regenerate, so results are long-lasting, usually after one session.
3. Longevity
Botox: four to six months.
miraDry: long-lasting, as treated glands do not return.
4. Downtime
Botox has minimal downtime. miraDry may cause swelling, tenderness and numbness for days to weeks.
5. Cost over time
At MIN Clinic, underarm Botox typically costs KRW 400,000 to KRW 900,000 per session, while miraDry costs KRW 1,900,000 to KRW 2,500,000 for both underarms. Over a few years, miraDry may cost less than repeated Botox.
6. Which should you choose?
Choose Botox for a quick, temporary solution or before an event. Choose miraDry for long-term results.
Conclusion
Underarm Botox lasts four to six months, while miraDry offers long-lasting results usually after one session. Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp, or compare our miraDry and underarm Botox pages.
