Twinkle replied to the topic Iontophoresis machines and international voltage in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 5 months ago
Voltage issue can be settled very easily. Just buy a simple voltage converter that transforms your household’s electrical current into the type that is required by your iontophoresis machine. 🙂
These converters are pretty cheap and can be bought all over the world, so I think you’re set and I wish you best of luck in getting rid of sweaty hands…[Read more]

Twinkle replied to the topic Shocks during Iontophoresis treatment in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 6 months ago
What is the name of your iontophoresis machine? Usually iontophoresis for hyperhidrosis should be without any shocks, but I don’t understand what you mean by “automatic” iontophoresis… From the way you describe it, it doesn’t sound like any of the devices I heard of. Unfortunately, it’s possible that the device you bought is simply not good, and…[Read more]

Sean M. started the topic The Holistic Approach? in the forum Alternative Treatment Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
For those of you who rely on an alternative hyperhidrosis treatment – what do you think about the idea of the holistic approach to alternative treatments that stop excessive sweating?
My wording is maybe clumsy, but what I mean is: would combination of several alternative treatments help cure hyperhidrosis? The key point is to use these…[Read more]

Twinkle started the topic Hot Yoga in the forum Alternative Treatment Forum 10 years, 8 months ago
Are you practitioning hot yoga of any kind? I would love to share my yoga experiences with another hyperhidrosis patient. 🙂
First some info: Bikram Yoga is probably the most popular type of hot yoga, but it is by no means the only one. Hot yoga is basically any yoga that is being practitioned in a room with high temperature, ideally set at…[Read more]

Sean M. started the topic Driclor skin irritation in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
After a month of using Driclor, I started having trouble with skin irritation. I have been using Driclor solution with a roll-on applicator (so nothing special, really). This is the first time that I had this kind of trouble and it is a little discouraging. I suppose I should just switch to a different antiperspirant brand (or even iontophoresis),…[Read more]

Sean M. replied to the topic Any thoughts on "Iontophoresis Electro Antiperspirant"? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
What do you mean being mentioned? Where?
In any case, I saw the website and visited their Facebook page. Their adaptors for face and underarm actually look pretty good and if this worked it could be one of the more versatile iontophoresis machines. The main problem, as I see it, is that this is new, and I can’t find users’ feedback that would…[Read more] -
Twinkle started the topic Fictional Characters with Hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
Here’s a strange topic for conversation… but I really am curious. Actually no – I’m desperate to find a piece of fiction where a character has hyperhidrosis. And by that character I mean a protagonist, a hero, a heroine… you get it.
Whenever I encounter a fictional character who sweats a lot (in series, movies, books…) those characters are…[Read more]

Here you can post recommendations for interesting, useful, practical books on hyperhidrosis or (excessive) sweating in general. Post about anything you think is good or resourceful and might come in handy in any way.
I would personally love a well-written interesting book about hyperhidrosis that I could shove into other people’s hands when I…[Read more]

Twinkle replied to the topic Maxim Wipes in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
This is very useful. Thank you. 😉
I don’t typically feel like using face wipes – and I don’t really need them, but recently I started running in the mornings. (Well to be fair, it’s really slow jogging…) So, my facial sweating got worse, and since I don’t like wearing a headband, I will buy Maxim wipes and hopefully they will reduce my head sweating. 🙂 -
Twinkle replied to the topic Where do you buy these devices? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 3 months ago
Many places to choose from. Usually you can find standard prices at official websites, and cheaper ones on websites like e-bay if you get lucky. When it comes to official sites, I think this is Hidrex manufacturer website, and this here is Idromed website. Yeah, I hope you can read German lol. Just kidding – you can switch the language to English…[Read more]

Hello James, welcome to the site!
I have an idea regarding availability of Hidrex – did you try buying it through e-bay or a similar website? Someone could be selling a used machine… Just an idea. 🙂 And I hope you’ll find a way to treat your hands without harming your skin.

Sean M. replied to the topic Baby powder and sweat stains in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 4 months ago
Greetings..! I’d hate to be that person, but… Why don’t you simply use sweat pads? You know, underarm sweat pads that you just set to soak up your sweat and keep your armpits from staining everything. I mean, isn’t that much MUCH more effective than trying to soak up the sweat with baby powder? =D

Sean M. replied to the topic Apple Cider Vinegar + Honey + Water in the forum Alternative Treatment Forum 11 years, 4 months ago
…I’m not laughing! Sounds cool, I know people take apple cider vinegar sometimes in pills, because it is healthy or good for losing weight or what not. No wonder it helps one to sweat less, too.
Btw I sent you a friendship request. I expect to hear all the details on this “culinary” horror. 😈

Sean M. replied to the topic Hyperhidrosis Medication in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 4 months ago
Ramona, please take care and be cautious about taking medication, especially if you’re planning to get some real hyperhidrosis drugs. I agree with Twinkle, definitely consult your physician first. If everything works out, you’ll get a prescription and will likely be able to get cheaper medication from your local pharmacy. It should be a win-win…[Read more]

Twinkle started the topic Can one have multiple Iontophoresis treatments simultaneously? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 4 months ago
Having hyperhidrosis in several body areas makes iontophoresis seem like a challenging treatment option, so I wondered if anyone does it? Is it doable in the long run?
If iontophoresis is so great, I would consider buying a device and all necessary accessories. If I do this, can I run iontophoresis to treat hands, feet and underarms…[Read more]

Twinkle replied to the topic Hyperhidrosis Medication in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 11 years, 4 months ago
Oral medication is the right approach for me because I have plantar and palmar and axillary excessive sweating… Pretty general and difficult to treat with antiperspirants and so on.
My main qualm with medication is that it can cause various side effects… What if there’s a reason why some things are only available through prescription? I don’t…[Read more] -
Sean M. replied to the topic Iontophoresis for Axillary Hyperhidrosis in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 11 years, 4 months ago
I have tried this about 2 years ago with a borrowed iontophoresis machine (I think it was Hidrex?) and my treatments were semi-successful. Though, I am probably not the best example since I only used iontophoresis to treat armpits for about 2 months, which might be too short.
Anyway, I wanted to say that to me, the biggest issue with this was…[Read more]
