Common Iontophoresis Problems Solved: Sweaty Fashionista

By Sam Nardi 2021 Feb 19th
Dermadry Team

Iontophoresis is one of the safest and most effective treatment options for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). It's a simple solution that is suitable for most and offers long-lasting results. 98.3% of Dermadry's customers achieve their desired results, however some just need a little help along the way, which is when our customer support team steps in to help you reach your sweat-free goals!

In our newest series titled Dermadry Case Studies, our very own Abhishek, Quality Control Associate for Dermadry's Customer Support Team, guides us through common problems some encounter when starting iontophoresis treatment. His unique insight and knowledge is derived from his years of helping thousands of customers achieve their desired dryness by offering them the support and guidance they need to navigate through their issues and find a treatment schedule that suits their lifestyle. Abhishek has closely worked with a wide range of people and dealt with an equally wide range of cases—some particular, and some more common! In this series, he sheds a light on some cases that have stood out in his years as a force in our Customer Support team!

In this episode, Abhishek tells the story of a client named Elizabeth, a 22-year-old zestful and vivacious fashionista loves wearing vibrant colored clothing. However, she has a condition called Axillary Hyperhidrosis, (i.e. having excessively sweaty underarms), which causes her to have large visible sweat spots in this region. To treat this condition, she uses Dermadry’s Underarms iontophoresis device, because it is a proven and drug-free solution. Despite having severe hyperhidrosis and doing treatments for 4 consecutive weeks, she only experienced 10% dryness. Upon further analysis, she realized that there were 2 main factors hindering her from achieving complete dryness.

Dermadry Case Studies: Sweaty Fashionista

Elizabeth, a 22-year-old zestful and vivacious fashionista loves wearing vibrant colored clothing. However, she has a condition called Axillary Hyperhidrosis, (i.e. having excessively sweaty underarms), which causes her to have large visible sweat spots in this region.

To treat this condition, she uses Dermadry’s Underarms iontophoresis device, because it is a proven and drug-free solution. Despite having severe hyperhidrosis and doing treatments for 4 consecutive weeks, she only experienced 10% dryness. Upon further analysis, she realized that there were 2 main factors hindering her from achieving complete dryness.

Firstly, Elizabeth was using an antiperspirant 2 hours before doing each treatment. However, she would not exfoliate her skin thoroughly before the treatment, which caused residue from the antiperspirant to still be present on her skin. Consequently, this residue acted as a barrier between the current and her skin, thereby impacting the efficiency of her treatments.

Secondly, Elizabeth’s pockets were not soaked adequately enough before she began her treatments, which caused them to dry out in the middle of her treatments. This subsequently also impacted her treatment efficiency and prevented her from getting the complete dryness she needed.

She then decided to stop treatments for 1 week, and start afresh from the week thereafter. Upon resuming her treatments, she made sure to thoroughly exfoliate her skin multiple times, while also ensuring that she soaked her pockets sufficiently enough, so that they would be completely wet for the entire treatment session. After doing 5 treatments per week for 6 weeks, with these tailored recommendations, she was finally able to achieve 95% dryness in both her underarms!

Subsequently, she decided to do 3 maintenance treatments per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, to ensure that she could continue maintaining dryness in her underarms. After finally having dry underarms, Elizabeth proclaimed that I now have a new collection of brightly colored tops that I haven't been able to wear in years.” Dermadry successfully helped Elizabeth achieve her dream of wearing vibrant colored clothing!
