In this visual, we observe a woman in a black tank top carefully positioning the underarm attachments within her armpits. These attachments are designed specifically for "The Fischer," RA Fischer Co.'s original metal-free iontophoresis device meticulously engineered for hyperhidrosis treatment. In this context, she is effectively addressing axillary hyperhidrosis, characterized by excessive underarm sweating, using these specialized attachments.

How To Use The Fischer: Underarms

The Fischer: Underarms is a modern, metal-free iontophoresis device. Silicone-graphite electrodes with soft sponge pad inserts deliver a better, faster, and safer experience for axillary hyperhidrosis patients.

Soft-touch and designed to contour to your underarms, these state-of-the-art underarm attachments ensure treatment is delivered consistently across your skin’s surface area.

STEP ONE

First, clean your underarms by removing ointments, creams, and/or cosmetics.

STEP TWO

Soak the sponge pad sleeves in tap water, but don’t wring them out! The wetter the better as this helps ensure current flow.

STEP THREE

Take each of the axillary electrodes and insert them into the sponge pad sleeves. Make sure they are completely pushed in.

STEP FOUR

Plug The Fischer control unit into the wall and power it on.

STEP FIVE

Plug the axillary electrode cables into the connectors E1 and E2 located at the back of the control unit.

STEP SIX

Set treatment timer to 15-20 minutes

STEP SEVEN

Set power level. It’s important to treat at a level that’s comfortable for you. Most patients begin low at 1-3 mA and gradually increase over time.

STEP EIGHT

You’re now ready to begin treatment. Insert an attachment (sponge pad sleeve + electrode) under each arm, with the connector cables pointing to the front. Keep them in place by applying slight pressure with your arms.

STEP NINE

After your treatment timer reaches zero and you hear the beep, remove the attachments from under your arms. Power The Fischer off, because you’re finished!
