MiraDry Cost in Korea 2025:
Full Price
Breakdown
MiraDry Fresh pricing varies significantly by country and clinic. This guide covers what MiraDry actually costs in Korea, what’s included in the price at Yaan Clinic Gangnam, how it compares to US and UK pricing, and whether traveling to Seoul specifically for the procedure makes financial sense.
Why Korea for MiraDry? –
The Price Gap, Explained
MiraDry Fresh is not cheap anywhere. But the difference between Korean clinic pricing and what the same procedure costs in the US or UK is substantial enough that international patients factor it into their decision.
In the United States, MiraDry Fresh typically runs between $1,500 and $3,000+ per session depending on the clinic, city, and whether consultation is billed separately. In the UK, pricing sits in a similar range in GBP. Korean clinics — including Yaan Clinic in Gangnam — price the same FDA-cleared procedure significantly lower, with no reduction in product quality or equipment standard. Yaan Clinic uses the 2023 MiraDry Fresh machine and genuine tips, verified by the Asia Pacific distributor.
Korea’s lower overhead, competitive aesthetic market, and direct access to the regional distributor all contribute. For patients coming from the US or Europe, the math on flights and accommodation often works out — especially given MiraDry is a one-session procedure for most people.

Yaan Clinic Pricing –
What You’re Actually Paying For
MiraDry Fresh at Yaan Clinic is priced per session. For the exact current figure, contact the clinic directly — pricing can shift, and we’d rather you get a confirmed quote than a number that may be out of date by the time you read this.
What the price includes is fixed and doesn’t change. Everything listed below is covered in the session cost — no add-ons.
Custom Sweat Gland Mapping
Before anything else, the doctor maps the treatment area — the location, range, and density of your underarm sweat glands. This determines the number of shots and the design of the treatment. It’s done in the same session, included in the price.
Doctor Consultation
1:1 with the treating physician. English-speaking staff available throughout. No separate consultation fee charged before or after.
Local Anesthesia
Tumescent local anesthesia is part of the procedure — not an add-on. Air Nox (nitrous oxide) for additional comfort during the anesthesia injection is available as an optional extra if needed.
MiraDry Fresh Treatment
The procedure itself, using genuine MiraDry Fresh tips on the 2023 machine. Yaan Clinic issues a written Treatment Certificate after each session documenting the shot count and energy delivered — useful if you want a verifiable record of what was done.
LDM Healing Therapy (Post-Procedure)
Applied immediately after MiraDry Fresh to maintain thermal effect and reduce swelling duration. This step is included at Yaan Clinic — it’s not a separate charge, and it’s not offered as an optional upgrade.

Yaan Clinic doesn’t publish a fixed price publicly because session cost varies based on gland density assessment and whether one or two sessions are planned. That said — for a single session, Yaan Clinic’s pricing is significantly below US market rates ($1,500–$3,000+). Contact for a confirmed quote before you plan anything.

1 Session or 2? –
When a Second Treatment Is Needed
Most patients complete MiraDry Fresh in one session. A second session comes up in two situations: either the initial result is lower than expected for the patient’s gland density, or the patient has an unusually high concentration of sweat glands that benefits from a follow-up treatment. For what actual results look like at one month, see the before and after guide →
MiraDry Fresh Treatment — Yaan Clinic Gangnam, Seoul
-
1 session — the typical case
The majority of patients. Sweat reduction is assessed at the one-month mark, when recovery is complete and results have stabilized. If the outcome meets expectations, no further treatment is needed. Most patients don’t come back for a second session.
-
2 sessions — higher-density cases
Some patients have an above-average concentration of eccrine glands — a density that a single session may not fully cover. In these cases, a second session three to six months after the first can improve results further. The decision is made at follow-up, not pre-sold at consultation.
-
For international patients: planning the second session
If you’re traveling to Korea for MiraDry and want to build in a second session as a safety net, it’s worth factoring that into your travel planning. Some international patients schedule the first session, return home, assess results at one month, and return for a second only if needed. Others build a longer Seoul stay to cover both within one trip. Yaan Clinic can discuss the options via WhatsApp before you commit to flights. See the visit guide → for more.
Insurance & Medical Tourism –
What Applies, What Doesn’t
Two questions that come up often for international patients planning MiraDry in Korea.
Is MiraDry covered by insurance in Korea?
No. MiraDry Fresh is classified as an elective cosmetic procedure under Korea’s national health insurance system and is not covered — for Korean nationals or international patients. This is standard across all Korean clinics, not specific to Yaan Clinic. US health insurance doesn’t extend to procedures performed abroad regardless of diagnosis, so that’s also a no.
Does traveling to Korea make financial sense?
For patients from the US: a round-trip flight from major US cities to Seoul runs roughly $800–$1,400. Three nights in a Gangnam hotel, mid-range, comes to about $300–$700. Add those to Yaan Clinic’s session price and compare to what you’d pay at a US MiraDry provider. The difference, for many patients, still favors Korea — sometimes significantly. The math is easier to run once you have a quote from Yaan Clinic and a comparable US clinic figure.
What about HSA/FSA accounts (for US patients)?
Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating — is recognized as a medical condition. Some US patients have successfully used HSA or FSA funds for MiraDry procedures when accompanied by a physician diagnosis. Whether this applies to treatment received abroad depends on your specific plan terms. Worth checking with your plan administrator before you travel.
Medical tourism note
Yaan Clinic is located 5 minutes on foot from Bongeunsa Station (Exit 7) in Gangnam — accessible from most major Seoul hotels. The clinic handles international patients regularly and is accustomed to coordinating around travel schedules.

Frequently Asked
Questions
- How much does MiraDry cost in Korea vs the US?
- US clinics typically charge $1,500–$3,000+ per session, often with a separate consultation fee on top. Yaan Clinic’s pricing sits well below that range — the exact figure varies based on individual assessment, so they don’t publish a single number. The gap is real enough that for many US patients, flights and accommodation still come out ahead. Worth getting a direct quote from both sides before deciding: WhatsApp +82 10 5308-0499.
- Is MiraDry covered by insurance in Korea?
- No. Elective cosmetic procedure — not covered by NHIS regardless of patient origin. US insurance doesn’t cover procedures abroad either. Some US patients use HSA/FSA funds for hyperhidrosis treatment; whether that applies abroad depends on your specific plan.
- Does MiraDry require multiple sessions?
- Usually not. One session covers most patients. The question of whether a second is worth it gets answered at the one-month follow-up — when results have stabilized and you can actually assess what changed. Yaan Clinic doesn’t pre-sell second sessions.
- What is included in Yaan Clinic’s MiraDry package?
- Sweat gland mapping, doctor consultation, local anesthesia, the MiraDry Fresh procedure, LDM Healing Therapy aftercare, and a written Treatment Certificate. That’s the session. No separate charges for any of those components — and no mandatory packages or upgrades.
- Is it worth traveling to Korea specifically for MiraDry?
- Depends on where you’re coming from and what you’d pay locally. For US patients, flights plus accommodation often still come out below what some US providers charge for the procedure alone. Get a quote from Yaan Clinic and compare. The answer is different for everyone.
