To help us determine the problem more quickly, please send us the following answers or have them ready when you call us:

• Type of equipment used (manufacturer/model type)?
• Which body parts do you treat? (Hands, feet, hands and feet simultaneously, face, etc.)
• Do you use pulsed current or direct current?

For each treated body part, we need to know:

• How long have you been performing the initial therapy (number of therapy days)?
• Did you perform the initial therapy every day?
• Did you leave breaks in the initial therapy, if so how many days?
• Duration of treatment (in minutes per session)
• How high is the current for each respective body part (please specify whether mA or volts)?
• Do you feel a slight tingling sensation?
• What is your improvement in % compared to before the therapy?

Only when using the Hidrex PSP1000 or ConnectION

• Which pulse width did you choose to treat each respective body part?

Does the treatment hurt??

If yes:

• Are the electrodes covered by the towels or grids?
• Is there any skin contact with the bare metal?
• Where exactly does it hurt, describe the feeling?
• Do you have injuries, blisters or cracked skin on the treated areas?
• If so, what do you do about them?
• If you cover them, what do you use?
• Does it still hurt?
• Do you have a thick layer of callus on the sweaty areas?

If no:

• Do you feel you can withstand even more electricity without pain or skin problems?

For hand and foot treatment:

• Do you treat your hands / feet simultaneously?
• How much water is in the tubs?
• Where do you sweat exactly (side, soles, palms, between toes/fingers, back of hand, instep, ankle)?

• Do you take any nutritional supplements/vitamins/medications? (Please specify everything, including aspirin etc.)
• Do you put additives into the water (salt, medications, soda, etc.)?
• Do you have a water softener or any other filtration system (ionic/osmotic) installed in your home?
• Skin care: do you use a lotion, if so, how often and which one?

Have you tried iontophoresis before? If yes, where (clinic, practice, home)?

• If yes, with success?
  If yes, what was the device?
  How long was your treatment? (Frequency and length initial therapy, current intensity, treatment time, frequency maintenance therapy).
  Have you moved since then, or moved since you started therapy with the above model?
  Has there been any change in the water quality?

We will then evaluate your information and try to answer your questions.

Do not worry, we firmly believe in your treatment success.

The iontophoresis effect has somehow been lost, and now I am starting to sweat again!!

You were successful with iontophoresis, and all of a sudden your sweating starts again or the sweat-free effect wears off?

Our tips against iontophoresis resistance did not work?

Have you gone through everything and nothing helps any more?

Take a break from the double Magic Number to stop the therapy completely and to adjust the remaining iontophoresis dose. This ensures that the iontophoresis can be restarted again. Too short a treatment suspension does not help.

Why is it necessary to restart? Let's elaborate a little on this: there is no habituation or habituation effect of iontophoresis. If the sweaty condition starts again, something has changed. This could be the threshold of the effect. Then one could try to apply more current (if the skin and the treatment feeling cooperate) or if the device is capable of doing so at all. It could also be due to the dose, maybe you just need more. However, if you have already been generous and run through the Magic Number with, let's say, double the dose, it probably won't work. Then you just have to start again.

Yes, it will be a hard time without iontophoresis - you just sweat again like before, and then you also have a new initial therapy ahead of you. That really drags on. But there is no other way, unfortunately. Normally, the iontophoresis works as before.

Digital treatment Iontophoresis can lead to problems

Many users treat digitally. ON-OFF

That is, until there is an effect, daily, and then no more treatment is given until it has already started to sweat again.

It's like road traffic - full throttle and brake.

It is obvious that this is not good for the entire car system. Likewise, it is exactly the same with iontophoresis!

Here we would always have an initial therapy followed by not completely phasing out the dose. This goes well a few times, and then it's over, the therapy no longer works. Again: This doesn't apply to everyone, some people can cope with it for years, but: Do you really want to provoke this?

Has anything changed in the maintenance therapy in a period of two times your complete initial therapy phase? (Current intensity, treatment frequency, duration)

Has anything changed in your lifestyle/attitude to life during this phase? Everything is important here. (Lifestyle, mental health, emotional state, medications, piercings, tattoos, alcohol use, drug use, family situation.... anything else you can think of.

Did anything else change in your environment during the double initial period (weather, food, work, etc., did you do anything out of the ordinary), or in your behaviour or mental as well as physical biorhythm?

• Did you move houses?
• Have you recently installed a water filter, or some other type of water treatment (water ion treatment/water osmosis, etc.)?
• Has anything else changed about the treatment water or its quality?
• Are you taking supplements, if so which ones, and have you changed brands?
• Do you use skin care, if yes which type, how often and where?
• Do you use medications (including non-prescription meds such as aspirin and hormone treatments (pill) etc.)?
• Has the sensation of electricity remained the same during the iontophoresis treatment (compared to before, when there was success)?
• Did you feel a tingling sensation then, and if so, does it still tingle?
