Toby replied to the topic Renting an Iontophoresis Machine – Yes or No? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years ago
In my experience, renting a Fischer Galvanic was a wise call. It removed the fear of “what if I throw my money away”, and it alleviated all worries my wife had about the effect a bought iontophoresis device would have on our monthly budget.
This way, it was one small cost to begin with, and after proving itself as a wise investment, buying…[Read more]

Leons replied to the topic Dating: how to confess that you have hyperhidrosis? in the forum Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years ago
Just relax. Don't think about it too much. Let things go naturally, go on dates, talk, spend more time together… Then, when the moment's right, when the situation just comes up in which it's convenient to spontaneously mention hyperhidrosis – you could mention it then.
You can see if the conversation steers somehow toward medical issues, or…[Read more]

Leons started the topic Iontophoresis + Antiperspirant = Problems! in the forum Antiperspirants Forum 10 years ago
…And by problems, I mean painful skin irritation. 😐
When I used only antiperspirant on my armpits (Odaban most recently), everything was fine. Then, I bought Hidrex PSP 1000 and treated my sweaty armpits with iontophoresis. At first, it was still all fine, but when I applied Odaban too, my skin had some kind of weird reaction. It burned,…[Read more]

Leons replied to the topic A question about Drionic Underarm in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 6 months ago
I am going to order Drionic Underarm, so while I don't have the answer now, maybe I will have one in the future 🙂 And thanks for opening this thread – now I know that I need to be careful about washing those pads!
Btw, did you two maybe try contacting official Drionic support? -
Leons replied to the topic Drionic modifications (no batteries!) in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 6 months ago
Oh I don't know… Seems like something that one should give to a buddy who knows a thing or two about these devices (or any electronic device). I wouldn't risk ruining a machine that cost me $$ by amateurishly disassembling it. I don't think it's a stupid idea, however. Just a risky one…

Toby started the topic Battery Life in Homemade Iontophoresis Machines in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
First of all, I love this video on how to make your own iontophoresis machine. I makes the whole process seem incredibly easy, to the point where I was left wondering why don't more people opt for homemade devices… (But yes, I know, portability is a big issue with homemade iontophoresis.)
I would like to know how long the battery life is in…[Read more]

Toby replied to the topic Low-voltage current VS. High-voltage current in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
I think you should just stick with what you know. If iontophoresis currently works for you and you are satisfied and have no side-effects, why should you risk wrecking that balance? If you start sweating profusely again, it might take you weeks to get back at where you are now. Just my two cents! 🙂

Tim Fleiss started the topic Iontophoresis treatments at Dermatologist's office in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Hi,
How do you feel about having iontophoresis treatments at a dermatologist's office? I'm thinking this is a good way to test the waters (pun not intended) and see if your body will respond to iontophoresis. Then again, I also have a feeling that:
a) not many dermatologists have devices in their offices
b) these kind of treatments can be too…[Read more] -
Tim Fleiss started the topic Drionic modifications (no batteries!) in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Hi,
I was reading through Drionic iontophoresis reviews and see that many people complain about expensive batteries. Well, there is actually a way around this: Drionic modification. It's an old website, but the method shouldn't be outdated. 🙂
To make things clear: by no means am I recommending this; I just wanted to point out that this is also…[Read more]

Leons started the topic Hybresis Iontophoresis System in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Has anyone tried this? Hybresis info
Looks like a special type of iontophoresis, done with a device that uses skin patches instead of water trays. Personally, I think this looks great, especially in terms of portability. Still, I wonder if it produces results that can match standard iontophoresis. The description says that Hybresis can deliver…[Read more]

Tim Fleiss replied to the topic Am I overdoing it? in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Hmm, Pete, what settings do you use? It's a pulsed current, right? How long are your treatments?
I don't know, this could depend on many factors. Maybe you accidentally changed something in your settings/machine memory – if you're using pre-programmed custom settings and so on…
Or maybe something about the water is different? -
Tim Fleiss replied to the topic Botox health insurance coverage? in the forum Botox For Hyperhidrosis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Mine wasn't covered. I think they rarely are. There is no rule here. The main checkbox is ticked: Botox for hyperhidrosis has a FDA approval, so in theory it could be covered by a health insurance policy. Some private health insurance policies might be willing to cover it, but it is still a rarity from what I have heard. As long as there are…[Read more]

Toby started the topic Treating back sweating with Hidrex in the forum Iontophoresis Forum 10 years, 7 months ago
Trying to find something that could put an end to my night sweating & back sweating, I ran into this:
Ordering this on top of the regular Hidrex package should make it possible to treat back (or chest) sweating. I tried looking for some more information on this, and according to the guys from Hidrex, a lot of these…[Read more]
