Post subject: Treatment in South Africa
Hey!
A company has just started in Cape Town (I believe they're active now in Joburg too, but I'm not sure), and they do Iontophoresis treatments cheaply. I estimate it comes to a total of like 5k, cured and including follow up treatments. I'm a musician in Cape Town and I just got sorted out. My strings would always rust, and besides the general life-impedance of having sweaty hands, my flipping R260 guitar strings would rust and snap about three times a month (meant to last 2/3 months).
I tried to get a Hidrex/Fischer unit to SA but it was mad expensive and I ran into all sorts of issues with them not being licensed in SA as a medical device.
I was previously considering forking out like 16k for a device. Do yourself a favour and give them a shout on their email! They're really helpful --
info@ionunit.co.za
Peace and best of luck!
The device also works for your feet and underarms, but that's not an issue with me, t

Hello,
The pulsed current devices, Hidrex PSP 1000 and Idromed 5 PS are recommended even for children.
I think the Hidrex PSP 1000 would be the best suited, since within the pulsed current, you can also change the pulse width, in order to have more comfortable and smooth therapy. You can also discuss this treatment option with your doctor!

The best machine for hand (and also foot sweating) is a pulsed current Iontophoresis machine. For both brands (at the moment) we supply the international market (locally we have also other brands, but they are not suitable - in our minds- to be set in worldwide because of their reliability) we could say: That one of these, no matter which one , only if you prefer that or this it is important. Here is a comparison between both
https://www.iontodevice.com/hyperhidrosis/differences-in-idromed-hidrex-iontophoresis-machines-t378.html
For hand sweating treatment for a child ,I would suggest the Hidrex if you can assist her until she knows exactly what she wants, because for children it is HIGHLY important to have a good compliance, otherwise many will stop the treatments because of the therapy feel. With the Hidrex PSP you can setup finest nuances in the Iontophoresis treatment because you can choose between 50% Pulse width and 90% in 10% steps, with the Idromed there is "only" a fixed pulse setting.
If you cannot assist her and she is a "technical dummy",then I would suggest that you take the Idromed PC.
There is no agent in Johannesburg or South Africa but you can order the Iontophoresis machine online, we ship worldwide.
