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. This how to article reviews setup and treatment:

1. First, clean your underarms by removing ointments, creams, and/or cosmetics.
2. Soak the sponge pad sleeves in tap water, but don’t wring them out! The wetter the better as this helps ensure current flow.
3. Take each of the axillary electrodes and insert them into the sponge pad sleeves. Make sure they are completely pushed in.
4. Plug The Fischer control unit into the wall and power it on.
5. Plug the axillary electrode cables into the connectors E1 and E2 located at the back of the control unit.
6. Set treatment timer to 15-20 minutes
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. After your treatment timer reaches zero and you hear the beep, remove the attachments from under your arms.
10. Power The Fischer off, because you’re finished!
