Iontophoresis is a blessing
I suffered from hyperhidrosis for years without knowing that there were cures available. My social life from a young age included avoiding touching people with my hands at nearly all costs. Excessively sweaty hands also prevented me from playing card games because of the damage that would be done to the playing cards. This was the case all through high school and undergrad for me. After I was older, I decided to look into solutions for the issue. I tried a few dab on antiperspirants but nothing worked. At some point, I was describing the difficulties to a friend who was a dermatologist and she mentioned iontophoresis as an option. After a quick assessment appointment, she wrote a prescription for the device and we ordered it right away. Years later, my hyperhidrosis is still under control with weekly maintenance treatments. Looking back, I wish that someone had told me about this option when I was younger. The wet hand social difficulties in high school certainly didn't make those years any easier and this cure would have been a blessing.

Hi Steve, thank you so much for sharing your story. We talk to patients every day who feel like they're running out of options. Sometimes the systems we put in place to get by end up putting more stress on us than continuing to looking for solutions! We're so glad to hear that iontophoresis has been successful for you. Have a great rest of your week : )
