The Iontophoresis devices from Hidrex and Dr. Hoenle (Idromed) are limited in current to the maximum that the medical law allows, this means:
You could treat hands or even armpits with 25 mA direct current - but this would be absolutely too high for everyone, no one could stand such a high current for underarm treatments, indeed you would have a high or higher risk of burns.

The maximum values are given as " a rough idea" for the current setup. If you would say that "there is no limit" maybe a first time user would test it out and set the machine to full power.

Regarding sweaty hands: the skin of the hands is normally thicker , so let me explain it for an area that is more sensitive: sweaty armpits.

For the treatment of armpit sweating, there is a certain maximum bandwith. The manufacturer of the Idromed states: it is 5 mA max for the armpits.

Does this really make sense for everyone?I would say no, but the maximum values are a border.

For one person this border is too high, for another it is not too high .

If you wish to go up you have to be extremely careful. You should be checking the condition of your skin in the beginning every minute, then every 2nd, 3rd , 5th, so on... .If you are experienced and it works for you without problems, then it is not your border.

For one who could only stand 2 mA for the armpits (or any other skin area) without risking burns, it is nonsense to state 5 mA, the same for someone who can stand 8 mA.
Conclusion: The maximum values given for Iontophoresis are only a reminder to be very careful when setting up high currents. Iontophoresis based on the skin sensitivity, increasing with the skin thickness.
