Are there 2 different kinds of machines? Am I using the right kind? I read some questions about pulsed current & direct but I didn't even realize there was 2 different kinds when I was purchasing mine.

Whichever kind I have is working wonderful, but was curios if the other worked better?

Thank you again markus 4 changing my life!

Hi Lorie,

PC or DC devices are equally effective . The only difference is that pulsed current (pc) is much smoother and less painful than the direct current (dc). But if you´re doing well with your device, then there is no need to worry!

Oh,well mine is pretty painful. I do 15 min a day 4 days in the winter months & atleast 5 days in the summer months. It is worth the pain but since I will be doing this the rest of my life it would b so nice 2 be not so painful.
Any suggestions? Is it worth switching, I wouldnt want 2 mess up any success.

Hi Lorie,

If the direct current modus is quite painful for you, I think it would be worthwhile for you to to switch to PC ! If your device is in perfect condition you just have to pay the difference from the DC to the PC.
Before, just let us know what you treat (hands, feet, both..)and which are your treatment settings (voltage). Thanks!

Hi, oh that sounds great! I treat at 30volts on my feet for 15 min a day 4 to 5 times a week. How long would it take 2 recieve the pc device? It would be horrible to have my feet sweating again. Im so happy with my dry feet. I could never thank you enough!

Hi Lorie,

Since you have to treat 4-5 times a week, we would offer you following option:
you order 3 times our priority support through our online shop for a total of 330 €, https://www.iontodevice.com/sweating/iontophoresis/spare_parts.html
and as soon as we have received your payment on our credit card account we will send you the new device (with a new plug) and only once you have received it, you will send us your Hidrex GS. In this way you won`t have to break the therapy and we will have a guarantee that you return your first device. As soon as we have received your Hidrex GS, we will refund you 180 € (from the 330 € you have paid). Please note that if the device has scratches on it when we recieve it, we will have to invoice you 100 € for that, so please make sure to pack it very carefully. Also, the electrodes and cables are the same, so you just have to send us the device with the plug. Should you have any questions, just ask!
Please let us know what do you think about this! Thank you Wink

Hi, that sounds really good! I want to make sure I understand, I only send back the machine &plug after mine comes,not the electrodes or carrying case? Also,how do I make that payment because online it only asks for $110?
I really appreciate this great customer service!
thank you
Lorie
oh,& can you send a return shipping label?

Yes, electrodes cables carrying case and grids remain, just send in the mains plug and the machine.

You have to order it 3 times, this is 330 euros.

Return labels: depends on the country you are, we can do a pickup in appr. 20 countries of the world...
but mostly it is "not so complicated" to ship back the unit via air freight to our service house.

Hello,its been a while since I wrote but now finally have the money to order the pulsed current machine. I tried to open the link you sent for the machine but it wouldnt let me. Could you please resend what exactly I need to order. I now have the hidrex dc.

Also I had a different question.. For some reason some sweating has started up. Besides for the first initial treatment and real hummid weather I have never had an issue with sweat returning. It is winter & cold so its not the weather. Do you have any suggestions? Should I start back to everyday when I recieve the new machine? I have been sweat free for over a year.

At times everyone sweats because of hot weather. Iwould say that it is normal to sweat lightly on the skin.But if you have the feeling that others sweat less than you it is time to intensify the iontophoresis treatment.
please click on htis link:

https://www.iontodevice.com/sweating/iontophoresis/spare_parts.html
and order like described above.

Intensifying iontophoresis sessions means either to increase the time (of the sessions)or the frequence (more sessions in a week) or the iontophoresis current strength, with a pulsed current iontophoresis machine most users find that they can use much higher currents without experiencing pain .

Thank you! I was getting worried it got lost.
I have been doing pulse treatment at 80% at 37 but through treatment 37 will drop to 35. Any suggestions? I am down to 3 times a week compared to 4 or 5 times with old machine. I do get some sweating on ball of my feet so maybe I need to up it. I guess trial and error to learn what I should use.
Thank you so much for all your help! This machine has greatly changed my life. I never thought I would be able to walk around batefoot without leaving puddles on the floor or slipping on my own sweat. The joy never gets old!
God bless you!
Daily praying for a cure for us all!

You're welcome! Smile
With 80% pulse width the device will increase the Volt to the maximum it can deliver @ 80% pulse width (max Volt is around 48*, if measured with a body resistance of 2000 Ohms). This can vary from user to user because of the body resistance.
Did you have wash your hands, feet or armpits with soap, or used lotion or cream right before treatment? This can increases the body's resistance. Please clean your hands and feet with only warm water, since cold water increases the body's resistance too.
Do you drink enough water ? A healthy water balance lowers the bodys resistance too.
Use warm treatment water (can be even as hot as a warm bath), since cold water increases the body's resistance.
Keep us updated about your progress and if you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us!

It stops around 38 & 37 volt then through treatment it will drop to 35 but 37 is pretty uncomfotable for me so I guess I wouldnt b able to handle higher anyway. I have an extreme case of plantar hyp..so mayb thats why I cannot go higher?

Hello lorie,

I don't think that this is due to the extreme hiperhidrosis. If with a pulse width of 80% the therapy is too uncomfortable, maybe you can reduce it to 70% or 60%, if necessary you may increase the treatment time (or do extra treatments for those defined places which are still sweating). Please note that as long as the therapy is successful you don`t need to use higher settings.
Keep us updated!

Dear lorie,
Would you please give us a longer success post where you can compare the hidrex dc to the hidrex pc model? I think this would be very useful and interesting for other customers too...
