Question For Idromed 4 Users

What level of dryness on your hands are you achieving?

I am currently using a lotion called PerspireX and no matter how many weeks I used it, it will never dry the tips of my fingers and specific spots around the palms which is enough to hinder my work (drawing).

For those using Idromed 4, are there any spots on the palm that refuses to dry even after 1 week of use?

I live in Malaysia by the way and it doesn't seem like there're any shops around here that sells it.

I tried using perspirex. driclor and anhydrol forte and none of them worked. But i brought the idromed4 about two weeks ago and so far so good!!!
Apart from when it's really really hot or I'm nervous then the fingertips get slightly damp - but only a tiny bit and compared to before it's nothing. I'm not sure how bad my hands were before compared to other people but I think it's worth a try!

How do I know which one to get the AC or the DC one???

I'm pretty sure our mains here are 240V AC does that make a difference

Yes the fingertips must have a higher concentration of sweat glands because everyone seems to have this problem. Initially it took me a lot of treatments before my fingertips dried, maybe around 15 treatments over 3 weeks. Now as long as I do 2 or 3 treatment a week the whole hand should stay dry. I use the idrostar but the method is basically the same.

If they are still sweating after many treatments it might be iontophoresis is not strong enough, or what I think is the water you use might be too 'soft', that plays a big part in how good the treatment is. A few pinches of sodium bicarbonate may solve that.

I have the DC one - the AC is supposed to be for more sensitive hands or children but I think it's more expensive...so it's up to you really.

But no problems in like plugging into the mains?? Just get an adapter or something to use ?

Well it's a different plug so you need an adapter but it works fine!
