I wished I didn't have to contact you... but i have a problem.
I started the therapy as soon as I got the device (i have plantar and palmar hyperhidrosis). The first week I did it every day (both hands and feet) at 11 mA. The second week, I started doing the therapy at "full power", i.e. 25mA (also, both hands and feet concomitantly). After a week or so I noticed that the therapy was working and that I sweat significantly less, at times not even sweating at all...The complete satisfaction for me was that I didn't sweat at all during fitness training (as before the treatment my hands and feet did sweat a lot while I was doing my workout).
Furthermore, after two weeks of doing hands and feet at 25mA, daily, I started to reduce the number of therapy sessions per week to once in 2-3 days. And during that period my hands and feet didn't sweat, except a little bit on three of my fingertips at each hand. But that didn't bother me.
However, last week, the sweating came back (although I contitnued the therapy at the reduced pace of once in 2-3 days). As soon as I noticed that, I came back to doing therapy every day and this time I did hands and feet separately (hands at 12mA and feet at 20mA). On Saturday I even added baking soda to the water (that's something I read on various forums)...and still nothing.
So, since yesterday I stopped doing therapy as I am just too upset to continue...not to say desperate.
In view of the above, can you please put me in contact with someone at your company, who could give me a piece of advice with respect to what's to be done, whether I'm doing something wrong, or - this method is just not working for my hyperhidrosis...
I am determined not to give up on this kind of treatment (and send you back the device within the 8 weeks you mention), however, for that i need some advice on how to remedy this situation.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind support, |

First of all, if Iontophoresis worked for you once, it will work again. No worries.
I assume that you just started your maintenance therapy too early. You should only start maintenance therapy, once your completely and 100% dry. This is very important.
For now, continue again with the daily treatments, you should see results again, but you´ll have to wait at least the same amount of days you needed the first time. It might take a couple of days longer. If the first time you had good success treating hands and feet together, why don´t you do it like this again? And also, if you had the success without using baking soda, then I think for now there is no need to use it.
So I would say, just start with the initial therapy again and this time, don´t start maintenace when you see first success - wait until you´re completely dry.
Another thing, when you start maintenace, we recommend to start slowly: meaning the first 2 weeks, one day treatment, one day pause, one day treatment, one day pause and so on. If the sucess stays the same, then you can increase the pauses: one day treatment, two days pause, one day treatment, two days pause and so on
