Hidrex Iontophorese mit VPS-Puls
Hidrex ConnectION mit variabler und ClassicION mit festem Pulswert
Much has already been written about whether it is better to go straight for a Hidrex VPS iontophoresis device and not compromise on the setting options.
Variable pulse values offer the possibility of adjusting the pulse rate to the thickness of the skin and the skin condition.
Hidrex ClassicION: Fixed pulse / switchover to direct current possible
Hidrex ConnectION: VPS - variable pulse in 5 steps/switching to direct current possible
You can read how best to set this under: Perfect pulse widths - iontophoresis
Iontophoresis and pulse width, what's that supposed to be?
The pulse width determines how long the power is on and off in a time interval
Let's take a minute clock and a light switch: At the beginning of each minute you press the switch and leave the light on for 30 seconds. Then they turn the light off again until the next bar. Here we would have a pulse width of 50%.
Same minute cycle, but we leave the light on for 54 seconds: result, a pulse width of 90%
It follows that with a 100 watt bulb we used 50 watts after one hour in the first case, and 90 watts in the second case.
In the second case - to reach 50 watts - the light switch would have to be operated 80% shorter.
So more power in less time. And that is exactly the idea behind the pulse width adjustment in the field of iontophoresis: Introduce the same dose in a shorter time without completely forgoing the comfort of the pulse current, which is the case when you switch up to 100%. → Reading tip: Pulsed current better than direct current?
To say in general that VPS is absolutely necessary is not correct, there are cases in which VPS does not play a major role, then when you "only" want to treat thin skin.
Iontophoresis device - classic or future-proof
As a precaution, we ask whether the topic of VPS has been fully covered with regard to the selection, either for the iontophoresis device Hidrex ConnectION or for the ClasicION, in order to avoid disappointment.
Dear customer,
You have chosen the iontophoresis device Hidrex ClassicION, so far a good choice.
This questionnaire will clarify whether the classicION is the best choice for you.
The Hidrex ClassicION is very suitable for the following areas:
Very sensitive skin - armpits, face, back, forehead etc.
If other, less sensitive areas are to be treated, such as hands, feet or both, we absolutely recommend upgrading to the Hidrex connectION.
Upgrade for only 140 EUR / appr. 140 USD
Hands and feet are the most commonly treated body areas. They respond very well to the adjustable pulse width (usually set to 80-90%).
The ClassicION provides either 50% pulse width or 100% direct current.
For hands and feet this usually means:
50% pulse width: often too weak in performance
100% direct current: treatment feeling is too intense
This can lead to the following problems:
- Relatively long treatment times
- Possible skin irritation
- Unsatisfactory results
- Short pauses between the treatments
Example: it is much more efficient to treat the feet at a pulse width of 90% and full maximum power than to treat the feet at 50% pulse width. When the device is set to 50% pulse width, you will need much longer treatment times to reach the same effect.
At 100% pulse width (i.e. direct current), a high current strength is rarely achieved, skin irritation and strong current sensations prevent an optimal result.
For an upgrade to the Hidrex connectION you would only have to pay 140 EUROS or appr. 140 USD, which will save you hours of treatment time and frustration as well as skin irritation.
Just send us quick email and we will change your order and we give you the details on your chosen payment method or to speed up:
By sending 140 EUR to paypal@bindner.com and we switch immediate and automatically to a ConnectION.
If you find that you are only operating the device in 50% and 100% mode, we will exchange the device for the ClassicION version, the surcharge will of course be reimbursed to you. So far, all our customers have kept the connectION.
We will hold the order pending your response.
