Hyperhidrosis - excessive or extreme sweating is a common disorder.

I did ETS (palmar) 11 years ago. Now I noticed the sweat coming back, but not dripping (yet), but too uncomfortable to shake hands without becoming more sweaty because it makes me nervous.

Meanwhile my feet were usually dripping of sweat, and even more with hot weather, which makes me feel stressed about it. (I live in hot weather). I bought the Idromed 5 PS. I received it, started the 11th of february and after 6 days of use sweat is gone. I waited 2 days to write this, because I thought that maybe I had some good days.

But really, no sweat in hands and feet. It's so comfortable and such a strange feeling, I would almost say I miss the sweat

What I did: hands and feet at the same time for 15 minutes every day, I put the machine on 15 and I tried one day on 19, which was too high but I thought that for the feet it would be better. Once I put it on 16. But in general I will try to keep it on 15. I do feel it. It is just a little uncomfortable, maybe I should put it lower. When I take my hands out I feel this 'electric fence' feeling. Maybe its because my hands and skin are soft with not very tough skin. I don't know if that makes a difference in the quick result. Today is day 9, and I have to find out when I can start doing it less. Very Happy

dear astrid, many thanks first for your "sweat free" report, it is always a pleasure for us and amazing to read those reports, cause everyones treatment is different
If you feel uncomfortable you should lower the current till you have a good therapy feel. In your case (like in most others) it is very good that you´ve choosed a Pulsed Current iontophoresis device. With a direct current device i would bet you could only stand 3-4 mA max.
to your treatment shedule you could go inside the closen section and read this, i think it answers yor whole quests:

what you describe as 'electric fence' feeling at the end of the treatment you are right that very thin skin with high mA settings can cause this. It has nothing to do with the old 'electric fence' the prior machines like idromed 3 have had, or others on the market still have. For this slight 'electric fence' effect at the end of the tretment with the idromed there are some routines and tips tips to prevent them inside the board under

with the following content:
We are very sorry for your uncomfortableness, this only occurs in appr. 2% of all idromed users and is based in the startup routine measurement adjustment.
First of all: this is not serious or dangerous for you!

A 'electric fence' feeling at the end of the treatment can occur if one or several of the described factors are true, but it is mostly in conjunction with a very low body resistant

- very thin skin
- high mA settings

It has nothing to do with the old 'electric fence' the prior machines like idromed 3 have had, or others on the market still have.

You can precent this
- when you pull out the hands before the treatment time runs out (not very paracticable, we know)
- increase the body resistant when creaming in the hands half an hour before the treatment with e.g. our iontophoresis aftercare www.current-care.info (a good skin care is practicable even with no iontophoresis treatmentsI

if this doesnt work, or you feel uncomfortable with this, we can readjust your device to your persona body resistant, you can measure it with a Volt/Ohms meter (is mostly round 500-1KOhm with a low body resistant), if you have no access to it we adjust it to 750 Ohms what is mostly practicable and works through experience.
This we do at no costs for you as our service. Remember: If the device is adjusted to a low resistance you cant use it for other persons, they woud probably dont get it to run anymore. So if you want to lend, rent or sell it, it should be readjusted to old levels again.
