Which Hidrex Iontophoresis machine should we purchase for our daughter?

There are a couple of machine options for your daughter, and reassuringly for you both, hands and feet are the easiest areas to treat and enjoy the best overall success rates. Hidrex machines (the Hidrex ClassicION and Hidrex ConnectION) are professional grade iontophoresis machines that are switchable from direct current to pulsed current.

Direct, Pulsed and Variable Pulsed Current Iontophoresis

Direct current is the most efficient format but for some users in some areas, direct current can be uncomfortable at higher powers. Pulsed current offers a milder treatment sensation allowing those with sensitive skin or complex treatment needs to use iontophoresis for their hyperhidrosis. The down side to pulsed current is loss of efficiency. It still gives great results but can take longer to reach them.

Advanced and improved efficiency

As an example of the differences between direct, pulsed (and variable pulsed), a standard pulsed current machine operates in equal on / off ratios, so the machine is ‘pulsing’ on and off. 50% on 50% off. This results in a sensitive treatment but over a 15 minutes session you actually only receive 7.5 minutes of dosage, whereas with a constant direct current you would receive the full 15 minutes of dosage. Hidrex developed Variable Pulsed Current and this is a feature that is available only on the Hidrex ConnectION. This allows the user to adjust the on / off ratios in 10% increments to suit their specific needs. It provides an 80% more efficient pulsed current treatment over standard pulsed and so when the machine is in Variable Pulsed 90 (90% on 10% off), over the 15 minutes session you actually get 13 minutes of dosage. This provides sensitive treatments but very near direct current efficiency.

Either machine will work for your daughter, so the only decision is on whether you want the additional features and more efficient pulsed current of the ConnectION over the standard ClassicION.

Thank you for reading.
