To Iontophoresis or not?
Been suffering from palmar Hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember. Recently seems like my hands starting to sweat more and I cannot shake peoples hands anymore. I probably have to shake 10-20 peoples hands every weekend. I have thought about getting ETS done but after finding these forums Ive been reading about it and maybe Iontophoresis machine would work.. Who has used an Iontophoresis and cured palmar hyperhidrosis? A machine is around 800-1000$ im not sure if I should just save that money towards ETS..
I bought a Hidrex PC in the end of January, and have no problem with hands and feet anymore. I guess it's about 6 weeks of dryness now. I don't even start sweating from my hands or feet during exercise. I think you should give it a try and if it doesn't work just return the device and get your money back. I took me about two weeks of daily treatments to achieve dryness.

I decided to go for Hidrex because it could do both pulsed current and direct current. Direct current gives a more itchy feeling during treatment, so I really recommend a pulsed current unit. You can also set the treatment time with Hidrex. I don't think you can do that with Idromed as it always use a fixed time of 15 minutes. I do 20 minutes on feet, 15 minutes on hands and then occasionally 10 extra minutes for fingertips only, so being able to set the time is convenient.
I ordered my device from the german site that is advertised on this website because of the money back guarantee. The support has been excellent as well!
