 Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 11:15 am Post subject: Differences in Idromed & Hidrex iontophoresis machines |
 |
|
Idromed and Hidrex units are very similar in one point: Both are professional iontophoresis machines.
The differences are seen in another philosophy:
Iontophoresis machines brand: Idromed
Idromed wants to keep the iontophoresis treatment routine with their machines very simple, means:
"Iontophoresis for dummies" - you dont have to think about how to use these machines, it is "plug and play iontophoresis".
Iontophoresis machines brand: Hidrex
The iontophoresis units from Hidrex follows a more technical approach.
With all iontophoresis machines from Hidrex you have access to the parameters time and current. Also there is a "over therapy recognition" avoiding cracked skin in the beginning of the treatment (after you get used to the current this problem should not occur anymore).
Furthermore with the Hidrex PC you can access and choose the current form and adjust it from a smooth pulsed current mode into a direct current mode.
There is also a "sensitive" button letting you adjust the current more tailor for e.g. underarm sweating treatments.
There are also 3 user setups whch store the last settings you have had automatically.
Idromeds have only one big knob where you can adjust the current, the rest works automatically: Begin the treatment, the machine will increase the current to where you have adjusted it with the knob, after 15 minutes the current is decreased automatically and the treatment is finished. You have even to decide wich current you want in first, so if you want to treat with a direct current iontophoresis machine, or with a pulsed current iontophoresis machine. These are 2 different machines.
If you want to treat a whole hour you have to do 4 treatments in a row, pushing the big button (knob) twice, to start once again the treatment (first push to switch off, second to setup the iontophoresis machine once again).
Differences are also described on the page: Tap water Iontophoresis in the last chapter.
Differences between idromed and hidrex iontophoresis units
| Quote: | Hi, I'd like to know what's the diference between Idromed and Hidrex. Descriptions about each one show that they are very similar. There are advantages/disadvantages about using each one? In terms of results what it's the best?
Thanks! |
1) What is the difference between your Idromed and Hidrex in terms of functionality? I suffer from severe hands and feet sweat.
2) Does either Idromed or Hidrex require the use of tap water?
both iontophoresis machines use tap-water
3) Is there any local support for your products in Malaysia in cases where there are problems with the product?
No - just take a look to our enhanced warrantees http://iontophoresis-device.com/sweating/information/guarantee/index.html
4) Is the treatment painful using your products?
Not when used the way the iontophoresis machines were build for...

Thanks you very much. I'll buy the Idromed PC today, I'm living in Mexico.
Regards,

| Quote: | I suffer from hyperhidrosis. I've been using for some years the Fischer Galvanic in the US, however I recently moved to Europe and didn't bring it with me since I know there are some good options here.
I basically want to know what would be the advantages from spending about 50 euros more on the Idromed compared to the Hidrex device (I'm considering buying a unit with pulse current, and in the case of Idromed I would also buy the US-plug adapter in case I want to keep it there). I know the Hidrex can be switched from PC to DC and viceversa, and that it can also be plugged in in different countries. That's why I don't understand what are the advantages of getting the more expensive Idromed. |
| Quote: | | From what I understand Idromed is more expensive only because of its easiness to operate (Hidrex does not look particularly difficult to run). Please let me know if I'm missing something, I just want to spend my money wisely. |
It is not really difficult to run a Hidrex iontophoresis unit, it is the thing that Hidrex hasnt got this stronge Pulsed current you can compare them in mA Hidrex ~ 20 mA Pulsed, Idromed 25 mA @ the same Voltage
So i recommend Idromed for a sweaty feet, or a simultan sweating hands and feet treatment with a pulsed current (i perfer myself), for all other purposes you may use the Hidrex or the Idromed. Hidrex is more stable and it doesnt get so "easy" scrathces (Idromed is laquered) and the Hidrex is out of a stable and scratch reststant plastic (even the foil over the setup buttons).
Another "buy" reasons would be:
- When you wish to setup the treatment time i would say: Take the Hidrex, or you must end the treatment before 15 min (what you can do wihtout getting a electric shock) or you have to setup the machine new for another 15 min. treatment.
- If you wish to have a "overtherapy" recognition you have to have the Hidrex, Idromed has non
- If you want to have a machine who remembers the last setup or offers different modes (manual - automatic) you have to take the Hidrex. Even the Hidrex PC has 3 different storages for each treatment handsfeet and armpit mode

1) several, but i dont know the exact number..
2) compensatory sweating is not known with iontophoresis, + doing too much will make the skin too dry
3) http://iontophoresis-device.com/hyperhidrosis/features-of-our-iontophoresis-devices-t113.html
4) at the fisrt sight it may look more complicated, and indeed it is, but only in the beginning, so you have maybe to use the first 3 times the manual, then when get used to the iontophoresis unit it is easy
5) they are both pactble over a long time, maybe the Hidrex is more stable from the surrounding (comes without laquer)
I would strongly recommend not to do a ets, just take a look under no-ets-dot-com
| Quote: | Just a few more questions.
1) Over the past few years, how many users from Malaysia has bought this product?
2) Does the use of these machines have any side effects, e.g. compensatory sweating, soreness, etc.
3) In the event that this machine is faulty during the guarantee period, I will mail it to Germany but how will I be compensated for the shipping fee?
4) It is stated that the Hidrex is able to be use at a higher voltage but the machine looks much more complicated to use compared to Idromed.
5) For long term usage, will Idromed / Hidrex be more suitable and practical as it will not eliminate the problem 100%?
The cost of approximately Euro 450 is very high for me, I just want to make sure I get the correct product. I have refused to go to undertake an ETS and I hope your device will help. I hope you understand my concerns.
Many thanks, |

Which machine is better -- the Hidrex or Idromed? |
Dear customer, may you take a look to Iontophoresis device differences
In short: Iontophoresis tretment of sweaty hands and sweaty feet, if you wi, if you wish to treat hyperhidrosis at the same time (simultan): in this case idromed 5 pc
else
hidrex pc or Idromed PC
if you cant find your quests answered, please respond with the concerns open...
Answer to: Subject: quick question
| Quote: | Hi
I have searched the forum without finding an explicit answer to this:
What machine out of either Idromed 5 PC or Hidrex 5 PC would you recommend for someone who wishes to treat both palms and feet?
I would just like to get a simple answer plus explanation of why. (Regardless of price and length of guarantee, as it is the performance of the machine itself I care about)
Thank you very much, hope to hear from you soon. |
