The DE 20 Iontophoresis - THERAPY SYSTEM has been designed for the successful, simple treatment of Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in the home. Professional grade engineering and workmanship has created an exceptional tap water Iontophoresis machine, that can easily be used at home, without assistance, to treat problem sweating of the hands, feet and underarms areas.
Iontophorese history for treatment of Hyperhidrosis
In 1936, the first positive results were seen from using Iontophorese devices for the treatment of Hyperhidrosis. Tap water Iontophorese, can substantially improve or in some cases, even eliminate excessive sweating within a short period of time, without use of any drugs, surgical procedures or adverse side effects.
A positive effect is attained by raising the stimulus threshold of the sweat gland secretion via means of light, electro-stimulation of the Sympathetic Nervous System, (in particular the Thoracic Sympathetic Ganglion Chain, which controls the release of Acetylcholine - a neurotransmitter that tells the body to sweat) reduces the over-reaction that produces excess sweat.
A course of treatment with Iontophorese is successful in up to 98 % of the cases. Most users will certainly see an improvement. In Germany, the tap water Iontophorese treatment is the therapy most frequently chosen by medical professionals, for treating excessive sweat on hands, soles and in armpits and is seen as the 'next' step in treatment, if topical products such as antiperspirants fail to help.
The DE 20 iontophoresis system is a high quality entry-level unit with an excellent therapy success rate. Within one unit, AAM have created the option to work with constant direct current or with pulsation direct current.
What's included?
The price above includes all components that suffers of excessive sweating need to treat hands/feet and underarms: The control unit of the DE 20 integrated in the protective carry / storage case, 2 x electrodes with sponge cases, 2 x electrode leads, 1 x charging device complete with 4 x rechargeable batteries and 2 x treatment trays.
Instructions for use
The areas of the body to be treated, such as hands and feet, are placed into two plastic tubs filled with tap water. A weak electric current is fed into the water via the system's electrode pads. The strength of the current is individually controlled by the user. The user should experience no more than a very slight tingling sensation in the area being treated.
This treatment should be carried out for approximately 10 to 15 minutes daily, until an improvement can be seen. This can be several weeks, depending on severity. After that, one or two treatments per week are sufficient to maintain the positive effect.
