idrostar - treatment for hyperhidrosis
treatment for hyperhidrosis

Tap water iontophoresis machines

We have three machines for treating hyperhidrosis. The idrostar is for home use. The i2ma is intended for home or clinic use. The idrostar pro pulse replaces the iomax 4 and idrostar pro and is intended for hospital/clinic or home use and is able to treat four extremities at once. It also has the option of a pulsed current.

Machine features

All machines use batteries rather than mains power
Please note all of the machines are powered by internal batteries during treatment. The idrostar pro pulse and i2ma have built in internal batteries (please note they will not work when connected to mains electricity to recharge the batteries. The Idrostar uses 4xAA batteries.

Are battery powered machines as powerful as mains powered machines?
Most machines on the market have a similar power output. Power is voltage x current and the output is very similar for all the machines that we have tested. There is no evidence that a mains powered machine is more powerful than a good battery powered machine. Nor is there any eveidence that a more powerful machine is more effective at treating hyperhidrosis. Most people can only tolerate a moderate power output which is easily achieved with battery powered machines.

Stainless steel plates and acrylic meshes
All of our machines use medical grade stainless steel for the electrode plates and have acrylic meshes to cover the plates. Flannel coverings for the electrodes are not recommended because of the risk of cross infections and they require more work to keep clean and hygeinic.

Are the machines current or voltage generators?
It is believed to be the current that is important for the treatment and therefore these machines are all current generators and maintain a constant current rather than a constant voltage.

Two year warranty and replacement parts
The machines are covered by a two year warranty. If you require replacement items please contact us for prices.
