The Dermadry is a Pulsed Current-only iontophoresis device. The Fischer features a Direct Current and Pulsed Current switch, giving patients the flexibility of both options. Here is why that’s important:
“If you go to literature and clinical studies, Direct Current is really the most effective way to treat hyperhidrosis. With Pulsed Current, the Direct Current is switched on and off in very short cycles. This results in a different awareness of the electricity, a different feeling. Literature and clinical studies tell us that the efficacy is reduced. So I recommend that if you’re starting with iontophoresis, start with Direct Current. Keep it simple. This is the most effective way to see results. From my point of view, the most important thing in the beginning is to see results as soon as possible. That’s why we recommend the Direct Current. For patients who may only be able to tolerate 1-3mA, if you’re quite sensitive to that, the Pulsed Current might be more practical for you. But this current only works a certain portion of the time, so Pulsed Current is always less effective than Direct Current.” – Dr. Rolf Eilers
