So far, I have not sweat any more. This is my story.

Post by Hair77 »

Hi,
I have a personal experience that I want share with every vary. Recently, I was about to go to surgery because I suffer from hyperhidrosis, this is, simply, excessive sweating (hands, armpits, feet). I am a nursing student. You can imagine the suffering that I had. My hands were always wet and cold. I avoided handshaking. Touching a patient or putting on gloves was a nightmare for me. I decided to borrow the part of the money from the loans of my school if necessary. It would take me some semesters to have all the money, but at leastI had the hope of healing. I called to the American Institute of Hyperhidrosis for help. Maybe they had a way I could pay to them little by little. I wish I could have had the amount of $7,000 I needed to pay for the ETS-C (Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy). But, after many attempts, I didn’t get the financial aid I needed. Browsing in the internet, I found a video in which the guy explained how to make an iontophoresis machine: I just needed a motorcycle battery, cables, and 4 trays (2 for each hand and 2 for each feet). I was very skeptic on doing it. But, I did (I don't know why). After all, I didn’t have anything to lose. And, I didn’t have any other options available. I began my treatment at the beginning of the October, 4th, 2011 with no immediate result. One, two, three weeks without results…But, I kept doing the treatment every other day. Since 2 weeks, I have not sweat any more, neither my hands nor my feet. My armpits do because I need to adapt an electrode for them to the “machine”. But, I am very happy so far. I am a totally different person; I am not afraid of handshaking anymore. By the way, the cheaper iontophoresis machine that RA Fisher Co sells has a price of 675.00 without trays. They rent the machine for $100 monthly. If after trying it you decide to buy it, then they take away 50 dollars for each month you had it rented from the total price.
Since I began to see the results, I wrote in facebook, in any supportive group for people who suffer from hyperhydrosis, everywhere, providing the link for every-vary so that they know that iontophoresis might work on them too. That they might consider it before going to surgery, at least give a try…I am perfectly conscious that it might not work to every vary, but maybe someone out there has good results too.
It is not that easy writing all of this for me. English is not even my language. But, I want to share my story.
This is the video that I followed when deciding to build my iontophoresis machine:

I hope the link gets clickable and you can see. My iontophoresis machine is like the one in the video. You can see in link below the actual cost of an iontophoresis machine from RA Fisher.

By the way, you need prescription from your dermatologist, and you cannot treat hands, feet, and armpits at the same time with RA Fisher machine.
It is the same principle and a motorcycle battery costs around 35 dollars. At least you can try it to make sure that iontophoresis works for you before deciding to buy a machine because once you bought it, you cannot return it.
Regarding hyperhidrosis predominantly in the face, I honestly don’t know if it can be treated with iontophoresis too. But, we can find out. Iontophoresis is a well known treatment; it is not used only for hyperhidrosis. And, I highly recommend you not to do this treatment without consulting your physician.
Thank you.

This RA Fisher is pretty HUGE box:-) I use the iontophoresis Electro Antiperspirant with perfect results in palms and feet and it has armpit adapters too. You can order it direct on web with delivery time 3days , i think. Check it Iontophoresis Electro Antiperspirant. Btw, it is powered by only 4AA rechargeable batteries and price was "only" 499$.

dear thomasd : Nice trial, however as the manufactorer you shoud know that it is unclear for the users here, that you are only doing marketing for your device
i am markus from sweating-dot-com
you claim it is the cheapest on the market? whats with the drionic? one other of the cheapest on the market in EUR is here google "zipperlein iontophorese.htm" you´ll find a page that is run through us too, and it is battery operated as your device too, has the advantage of pulsed current and bigger batteries too (more power)

to be real honest, we shoud say that almost every battery operated device (even those with tiny batteries) has its disadvantages, learn more here:
and google features-of-our-iontophoresis-devices- and Powerful Iontophoresis
also i think you should redesigned the underarm electrodes, this will hurt like hell and cause burns - cause of the direct contact of the plates to the skin
if this is not the fact, then the device can only deliver such a tiny current that it can not affect the skin, and through this i am sceptical about the success - more power - more success - the more power, the professional the device should be in my eyes...

here is a example how underarm pads can be designed to be comfortable, google hidrex armpit pads
also when i look at your certificates, there is only the CE cert - this means as good as noting in europe, a ce is the min requirement to bring for exapmle electronic toys into the market and is cheap avialable, i think you havent got a medial approvement, so the device is a cosmetical one, right?

Dear Marcus. I was a user of Hidrex long time ago, but it was very huge and during therapy uncomfortable device. I am sorry, but Electro Antiperspirant is much better for me. I don´t know so much machines as you know, but your knowledge of this stuff is clearly not accidental and the links too;-) If somebody do marketing here, it is you. If something is better than these two devices, it is electro antiperspirant. I don´t want suicide myself with main power device.

And by the way when I saw the data form links you posted here:-D, iontophoresis Electro Antiperspirant do 32mA of power, so it is more powerful than these main powered machines. When you want lie here, please check your own posts and then say something;-) By the way about price, if you look here http://www.no-ets.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1075, they clearly said "If you find a better price, let us know. We will match the price and you will receive additional 5% discount as a gift!" it is no 4. on the homepage;-)

Thomas, just noticed that you have two threads on this, and in neither did you start of by saying that you are the seller of the machine. Very deceiving, but I will probably leave the posts here for now. If you post again, clarify that you are the seller.

Also, please start a new thread instead of saying Fischer or Hidrex or whatever else is not good in an existing thread such as this one.
