Iontophoresis Machine

I\’ve had palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis since I was 12. For me, it was probably as bad as it ever gets-actual dripping is frequent…or it was frequent, until using an iontophoresis machine. I\’m only 15 days into the treatment now but already the sweating is reduced by at least 85%. It\’s a new day! At first I was shocked that the iontophoresis machine worked at all (I was deeply skeptical), but now I\’m hoping that even 100% dryness is near on the horizon.

When I first heard of the iontophoresis machine, it was another story. I was truly skeptical, and it actually struck me as some kind of quackery on the order of 19th century \’electrical healing\’ devices. It didn\’t help to learn that the iontophoresis machine had been used since at least 1952, yet doctors in our area (USA) knew little to nothing about it. As a result of this sad lack of information on the iontophoresis machine for Hyperhidrosis –which makes you think it must not work or someone would offer it, right?– I tried just about everything else under the sun, short of surgery. So it was only when the Drysol, the Maxim, various anticholinergics (i.e., Robinul, glycopyrrolate) and even Botox injections had all failed that I began looking –very skeptically and with some desperation– into trying an iontophoresis machine.

The one iontophoresis machine you do occasionally hear about in the US is the Drionic, so I began to grill any past users of Drionic machines that I could find. For a few it did seem to work. But for the vast majority (and especially those with extreme Hyperhidrosis, of the \’it literally drips\’ variety, like me), it was no solution, having either no or a very limited effect. Some said the home-use Drionic iontophoresis machine just isn\’t strong enough, while others complained of the expensive (proprietary) battery that must be bought from the company and frequently replaced. I also found that it\’s not uncommon to see Drionic iontophoresis machine units for sale, used, which implies to me that they are less than sufficient in a significant number of cases.

Next I broadened the search, looking for a \’full strength\’ iontophoresis machine, preferably one that could be plugged in rather than using batteries. The best of them, intended for use in a clinic setting, seemed to be the Fischer MD1A, sold in the US, and the Idromed 4, GS or PS, out of Germany.

It wasn\’t long before the Fischer iontophoresis machine ruled itself out. First, the MD1A is only available with a prescription. Thus you must happen to live in an area where the dermatologists even know of the iontophoresis machine as a treatment for Hyperhidrosis at all — and in the US, most don\’t.

If you can find a prescribing local doctor, the next problem is that they\’ll expect you to go through the entire Drysol-through-Botox elimination process again…waiting for everything else to fail first, before considering anything they don\’t have in the office. And it seems that none of them have an in-office iontophoresis machine.
