 |

Well I just ordered Hidrex 1000. I really want to try this thing and see if it will help me with the palmoplantar hyperhidrosis from which I’ve been suffering for ages. I didn’t really care about it when I was a kid but when I became a university student it started to bother me a lot. Although I have a moderate hyperhidrosis from time to time it may be very annoying. The curious thing is that when I’m active and move a lot or do sports my palms never sweat or sweat a little. They mostly sweat when I’m idle.
Around 5 years ago I’ve been told about botox treatment, so I decided to give it a shot. Paid 400$ to receive lots of injections in my right palm. It didn’t really help and appeared to be a waste of money. Then I tried drysol and it was quite effective, but I didn’t like how it affected my skin – it started to peel off once in a while. I decided to look for another remedy and found out about iontophoresis. I did a bit of a research and decided to order the device. Soon I'll know if it works for me.
UPD. So I have conducted 10 treatments so far. The results are mixed. When I’m nervous my right palm is almost dry it sweats just a little bit on its lower part. My left palm is not as dry as my right, but sweats less than before and it's improving. Overall I’m rather satisfied with the results. 
The situation with my feet however is different. There is hardly any improvement.(((
I used 90% pulsed, 30 Volts, 16-19mA for my hands for 15 minutes.
My hands became less sensitive so I increased voltage to 35v.
For my feet I used direct current, 40 Volts which gave me 8-12 mA for 15min. I don't know why mA is so low, maybe that's the reason why there is no improvement? I will try 50 volts with 90% pulsed next time. I change polarity every 4th session. |
