Forum for Iontophoresis Hyperhidrosis and excessive sweating

Im wondering perhaps im not getting results because I am doing too much? Ive been doing 25 ma 30 mins daily and switching polarity mid treatment. Just got burns and blisters.

But I just read that d ...

If anyone is interested in a relatively new, high functioning, effective Idromed PS 5 with additional stainless steel electrodes please send me a private message. Thank you.

This isn't a question, just getting this out there that if you're having trouble achieving success you should really try adding baking soda. Not only does it keep everything clean, but it can make the ...

I think since I only treat hands now and not feet, it might actually be practical. I'll experiment with it and update.

Is it okay to re-use the same water when doing iontophoresis treatments, or does the effectiveness wear off?

i.e., if I were to purchase some Volvic water and used that same water over and over ag ...

Does wearing gloves reduce the effectiveness of the treatment in anyway to the palms? Thanks.

Same here, I tried switching to every other day but it started sweating again.

What kind of water level do you use?

I read on the forums someone using 500 mL, is that 500 ml in both tubs, or ea ...

Hi,

The sweating on the palms of my hands have decreased to a significant amount, although not 100% yet. Some sweat I've noticed comes from the tops of the hand now. I read something about putting ...

I wouldn't say it's too strong for me, I think I can handle doing treatments at 25 mA, it's just the beginning 'pressure' (force from current onto hands, I feel it extend around my forearm area too) a ...

Hey js,

do you feel an 'electric fence' effect after each treatment on 25 mA hands? And at the start of your treatments, do you feel alot of pressure?

I just started doing 25 mA on hands too a ...

Hey js you've been doing 25 mA on hands and 25 mA on feet separately? Do your feet still sweat? I might have to increase the power now, I've been doing 30 minutes 15 mA hands and 30 minutes 25 mA feet ...

Treatments are working as they should. I'm concerned about the results now though. I've been doing

15 mA hands 30 minutes
25 mA feet 30 minutes
daily for 3 weeks or so.

I've had some results ...

I will see if it happens again, it might have been something I did that caused it.

About the feet, all is good now, I got a new cleaner and the machine can reach the max current again!

Thank y ...

When I am treating feet most of the time the device doesn't reach the selected current regardless of how I clean it. I'm thinking there might be another issue now, but not sure what it might be. I use ...

I'm having troubles again with reaching the max current. I've been cleaning the stainless steel electrodes with a standard disinfectant every day.

I don't really see any 'patina', but in the case ...

The problem was actually the stainless steel cleaner I was using. I only cleaned it with water yesterday and today it worked flawlessly.

Is it a bad idea to only use water to clean the stainless s ...

You can see the knob is maxed out yet the current is at 13 mA... extremely frustrating (doing feet).

adeel, I have red somewhere here to use alcohol to remove patina..so i've used that, now does patina actually reduces the effectiveness of the device?

adeel, maybe thats their recommendation is 15 mA, but really I think we can set it up to 25 mA, is this right support?

I thought 15 mA was max for hands? So I can go up to 20 if i want?

Is it okay to use a phone or a laptop when treating feet and hands are free?

Adeel - I have this (hyperhidrosis) very bad/extreme so if it worked for me I know it will work for you. I was just blessed enough to have the successful settings right off the bat. I'm sure Markus wi ...

L shape = stainless steel
aluminum = flat

the flat ones come with it I believe

done, here it is https://www.iontodevice.com/hyperhidrosis/form-t1336.html

thanks.

Happy for you man, enjoy your new hands/feet. Hope I know this feeling soon, hasn't been going too well for me.

Great! I did my first simultaneous treatment today, hope it works better.

That is very informative, thank you. What would you advise about polarity switching with simultaneous treatments? Should it still be done every 5 treatments?

So if I do simultaneous treatments (full power) with plus pole on feet, and minus on hands the treatment will be 20mA feet and 13.2 mA on my hands, correct?

Is '20 mA feet, 13.2 mA hands for 30 m ...

50% current strenght for the Hands compared to the feet
e.g.
Hands 10mA
Feet 20 mA

below 10 mA for the Hands and 20 for the feet you are under 50%

as we state in the link above bout Vaseline, ...

Thanks for your response. I already got a blister on my left hand on one of my fingers, it makes the treatments a lot harder to do. Just wondering, do you treat your hands and feet at the same time? I ...

it's almost been a month for me and i haven't had too much results. a bit more dry but still not what I want.

how long do you do the treatments? and how frequent?

thanks

Since the current is being spread to both hands and feet at max settings (25 mA), how much of this current affects the hands?

How is it comparable to just doing the hands alone at 15 mA vs 25 mA on ...

In the manual it says make sure you have "2x edge protector" I have no clue what this is, there is no picture that shows what it is. I believe it goes on the case. If it's not necessary it's ...

Yes they are flat, thank you very much. Also there was some mention of a edge protector. I don't seem to have it / know what it is. I don't know if it's necessary.

I did my first treatment already ...

Hey,

My name's Adeel, I just recently received my idromed 5 pc device. Seems like the additional stainless steel electrodes I purchased with the device are not there. I did find a pair, I think the ...
