I just recently purchased a idromed 5 pc.
I have been using the drionic. My hands are dry at this time.
My maintenance schedule is usually 3 to 4 times a week at 30 mins per session at maximum power.
What do you recommend a maintenance schedule for the idromed 5.

What water level should be used?

Changing polarity- do you switch every 5 th session?

Hello,

Concerning the maintenance schedule, please take a look at following link:
https://www.iontodevice.com/hyperhidrosis/introduction-to-iontophoresis-maintenance-treatment-t25.html
Generally, in order to achieve the best results, the water level should be as low as possible. Find more information about this under:
https://www.iontodevice.com/hyperhidrosis/how-high-shall-i-fill-in-the-water-in-the-trays-t145.html
and about the polarity switch: https://www.iontodevice.com/hyperhidrosis/how-often-do-i-have-to-change-the-polarity-t74.html
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Could you be more specific to the water level.
Your instruction manual says to use 3 to 4 cm which is roughly equal to 1 1/8" or more.
But your telling me to use as less as possible?

I have another question also, I treated my right hand last night with the positive current and my left with the negative. After 15 min treatment my left hand was more red from treatment and my electrode looks different.
Meaning it looks used / turning color compared to the positive.
Please explain!

Another question is that I've been reading about polarity switching. I want both my hands to be equally dry. Should I switch polarity more often than just every 5th session?

As for the water level, the lower the better! Never mind what the manual says. Our long term experience and the testimonials of other users show, that the lower the water level the better it is for having success.

The plus electrode has a bit more of an effect, whereas the minus pole has a bit more of a "sideeffect" concerning the looks of the electrodes and/or a bit skin redness. This is why sometimes one electrode looks more used as the other one or why one hand is a bit more red.

There is no rule on how to switch polarity. Some users swicth every treatment, others switch just once a week. You'll have to see what's more comfortable for you. The important thing is that you do switch!

I replied earlier today under new question about what is equal to a drionic at 9 volts versus idromed ma setting?

My question of this is because I don't want to tray my hands at to high of setting ma if I don't need too. Please advise

I don't see the topic new question under
Idromed 5 section. Was it moved?
