Hidrex PSP 1000 comes with a face mask option that looks like a perfect solution for us with facial hyperhidrosis. Unfortunately, from what I gather, face mask has to be bought separately, meaning you have to cash out extra money for that. And really, the only iontophoresis device that has this face mask seems to be Hidrex PSP 1000 – and this…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic Maxim Wipes in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years, 6 months ago

Yes I am okay with it.

And what’s you point? What DO you suggest? Being cautious is fine, but I don’t think you’d be thinking the same way if you were suffering from intense head sweating hyperhidrosis, as I do. I have to take some risks – because frankly, head hyperhidrosis pushes me to my limits sometimes, and I don’t have much choice but t…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic Iontophoresis Stopped Working?! in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 6 months ago

Maybe you have the same problem as Vikram here:

What kind of water do you use for Iontophoresis?

Other than that, no idea. Clearly, iontophoresis for hyperhidrosis can stop working for no particular reason – I’ve read about such cases. You can only do your best to figure out the cause of this…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic A Question for Hyperhidrosis Network Members! in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago

I love being a member of this community! It helped me a lot to be able to freely express all my fears and problems related to hyperhidrosis – and especially facial excessive sweat. It feels good psychologically, being able to vent sometimes. And yes, I learned a lot of great tips on this website, and I learned even more about iontophoresis for…[Read more]

JennyDale started the topic Summer Alert! in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 8 months ago

Okay, sure, it’s not summer yet, but it will be here soon, and already (where I live) we are experiencing days of increased heat… And I don’t need to say that this means more and more excessive sweat (for me and pretty much everyone else with hyperhidrosis.)

So: preparing for summer. How do you do it? How do you prepare physically? How do you…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic Any thoughts on "Iontophoresis Electro Antiperspirant"? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 3 months ago

I love the look of their face mask! Looks soft and gentle, instead of resembling a torture device! Lol! (I was a little intimidated by the scary look of Hidrex face mask.)
Of course, design is probably the least important thing… I do appreciate the soft spongy look of the face mask, but it all depends on how durable and good it really is. I will…[Read more]

JennyDale started the topic I would like to learn more about Iontophoresis Face Masks in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 4 months ago

Hi, looking for info on iontophoresis face masks. I searched through the forum here, but no one else wrote about using one. From what I know, Hidrex produces face masks, and I also saw something about face masks that are compatible with Hidrex and Idromed. (Or maybe it is that Hidrex masks are compatible with Idromed, too?) Please share if you…[Read more]

Well hello, I wanted to brag a little. :)))
…and maybe also share a useful piece of information.

If you read some of my older posts, you’ll know I have head sweating / facial sweating which can really get out of control. A month ago I ordered Maxim Sensitive Wipes and this really helped. I am applying them on my face daily (forehead, cheeks,…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic Is compensatory sweating after surgery unavoidable? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Surgery Forum 11 years, 4 months ago

Hmm, I’d say that compensatory sweating is a common occurrence not just after ETS surgery, but also after some of the other aggressive hyperhidrosis treatments. It’s only logical, since the body needs to get the sweat out somehow. People regularly have some compensatory sweating even after other types of treatments (e.g. Botox.)

Ideally, even if…[Read more]

Please don’t laugh… I actually tried this concoction an hour ago. It tasted terrible, but I’m hoping to get some results. The whole apple cider vinegar thing is mentioned here, along with sage tea and some other things that should work, so I guess it sounded legit and I wanted to give it a try. After all, I had the ingredients at home so it was…[Read more]

JennyDale replied to the topic Hyperhidrosis at Workplace in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 5 months ago

Here’s one very bleak take on that:

Hyperhidrosis can be not only socially a problem, but may not allow people to have careers in areas that contact paper, metal or electrical components.
Hyperhidrosis can also damage clothing, shoes and furniture too.

Not very encouraging, I know. 🙁

JennyDale started the topic Shorter haircut = less head sweating? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 6 months ago

A friend of mine (who to be fair, wasn’t being malicious but was actually trying to help) came up with a “brilliant” idea: she believes my excessive head sweating will be reduced if I cut off my hair. My hair is currently below shoulder length and her idea is to cut it to a playful boyish short haircut. Emphasis on short. 🙄

JennyDale replied to the topic Hyperhidrosis is ruining my social life in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 6 months ago

Hi Jessie. You know what’s my advice when it comes to coping with hyperhidrosis in social situations? Get angry a little. Just a little, just enough so that you stop being worried and embarrassed.
Instead of feeling ashamed, take a battle stance against your archenemy The Sweat! Think something along the lines of “Hey sweat, take that! I won’t…[Read more]

Help! I can’t keep the darn sunscreen on my face… 😥 (And of course this means I can’t use make up at the moment either…but that doesn’t matter so much at the moment.)
Anyway, whatever I do, it all turns into a big mess. Thing is, usually I stay indoors around noon, but for the past week I’ve been very busy, running errands in midday sun.…[Read more]
