SESSION SCHEDULE
Most of the time, complete stop of sweating can be achieved after 7 days, but it may take up to
30 days.
Start by doing a session of 10-15 minutes on each polarity every day at the highest comfortable
level until you notice sweating has stopped. You can then stop treatments.
As soon as the sweating reappears, you can do another session. Do not wait until your hands and
feet are completely sweaty before to restart the process.
Depending on the severity of your sweating, you may have to do a 20 minutes session from daily
to once every week.
SETUP MACHINE
Step 1: Place one electrode into each tray.
Step 2: Cover each electrode with a towel.
Step 3: Connect the banana plug to each electrode while plugging the other cable end into the
controller.
Step 4: Carefully fill both treatment trays with enough tap water. Normally 500 ml (17 fl. oz.) per

tray. Ensure that the sweaty skin surface intended for treatment is in contact with water. Use
water between room temperature and warm (20-40 °C / 70-105 °F) according to user comfort.
Step 5: Power on the controller, select a current (Normally 4 to 6 mA) to begin your treatment.
The treatment will start while both of your hands or feet put into the water.
Step 6: Take your hands or feet out of water after 10 minutes treatment. And put your hands or
feet into the water again for another 10 minutes treatment. The device is designed to
automatically switch the current's polarity once your hands or feet is out of water. There is no
need to manually reverse the cables.
Note：Using a higher (but still comfortable) current will help you attain results faster. Treatment
effectiveness can also vary from one individual to another.

Treatment Sessions
How long does it take for the machine to make my hands and feet dry?
Treatments are cumulative and it will take time before results are seen. The normal time
frame is 1-2 weeks of treatment before the user will start to see a reduction in sweating.
Please continue treatments as recommended. If, after 6 weeks, there is no noticeable
improvement, there is a chance the treatment is not working for you. In this case, please
call us for further information.
How frequently should I use the machine?
Use the machine daily, adjusting it to the highest current that you find comfortable, until
your excessive sweating lessens. Once your hands and feet are consistently dry, you should
use the machine less often, setting your own pace until you start to sweat again. After a
continued use, you'll be able to gauge when it's time for a maintenance treatment.
Should I do my treatments in the morning or at night?
The time of day does not affect on the effectiveness of the machine, but you should pick
a time that will help you maintain a consistent treatment schedule.
How long should each Iontocure treatment last?
Every use of the Iontocure machine should last at least 20 minutes up to a maximum of
30 minutes, making sure to take your hands or feet out of water on half time.
At what point should I reduce the number of sessions?
You should reduce the number of sessions once your hands or feet are dry. We recommend
that you cease doing sessions once sweating has decreased by about 90%. Usually, after
a week or two, you will begin sweating again. When you do, you should do a session again.
If your condition is severe, you may have to do sessions twice a week. After a continued
use, you’ll be able to gauge when it’s time for a maintenance session.
Is this treatment painful?
When done properly this treatment should not be painful. If you are experiencing pain
during treatment you may have the intensity level set too high or increased sensitivity to
the treatment. Be sure to cover irritated or cracked skin with a thin layer of petroleum jelly.
Open cuts may be especially sensitive to the treatment so we recommend waiting until
they heal before resuming treatments.
I feel like I'm sweating a little bit more. It that normal?
That’s actually a good sign! It means that your body is reacting to the treatment. You
should feel the positive effects in a few treatments.
I feel the current in one hand more than the other, is this normal?
Everyone reacts differently. Often your strong hand will have thicker skin than your weaker
one. This is because you favor it to do tasks that may build up the skin.

My hands and feet are dry, but the top of my fingers and toes are still sweating. What
can I do?
To make sure the top of your fingers and toes are dry, make sure they’re submerged under
water. You can also wear cotton gloves or socks to help.
Why am I Still Sweating Excessively?
In some cases, you may not have completed enough treatments yet to notice results. Learn
more about our recommended treatment schedule first.
Tap water iontophoresis treatment may not be fully effective if the treated skin is affected
by a fungal infection. The most prevalent form of fungal infection is Tinea Pedis, commonly
known as Athlete's Foot.
These types of infections affect a significant amount of hyperhidrosis sufferers. Fungal
infections can occur on both the hands and feet. Symptoms might be apparent, but that
is not always the case. Known symptoms are blisters, acute sensitivity to heat, itching,
stinging, and burning sensations on the affected skin.
The easiest way to detect Athlete's Foot is by looking for small craters in the skin of the
palms, soles, and particularly between the toes.
What to do? Treat the fungal infection first.
Please consult your pharmacist or physician to find a treatment that works for you. Once
the fungal infection is completely healed, resume the treatments starting from the Initial
Phase.
Controller
How long the device can be used for full charge?
The controller come with 1000mAh li-polymer battery. It can be used for 4 to 6 hours if
the battery was full charged.
Does your device use pulsed or direct current?
It uses direct current. Direct current is inherently more efficient because the user is getting
current or treatment ALL of the time. Pulsed current can be almost imperceptible at certain
voltages, but is not as efficient, and typically requires more or longer treatment sessions.
How many currents should I be using?
You should use the highest current you are comfortable with. It’s okay to start at 4mA.
Note that the results are dependent upon the current and duration of treatment.
What is polarity? and How do I switch it?
The machine has two halves for each hand (or foot), each of which have an electric current
running through them. You need to expose each of your hands (or feet) to both polarities
for the treatment to work. To switch the polarity, just need take your hands (or feet) out of
the water and put your hands (or feet) into the water again.

Iontocure iD-200 Instruction Manual

Why do I have to take my hands (or feet) out of water on half way treatment?
It helps you to switch the output current polarity automatically.
Water
How much water should I put in the case?
Put in enough water to wet the skin on the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet,
ensuring that the sweating area is wet. The quantity should be around 500ml (17oz) in
each half of the briefcase.
Should I add anything to the water to get better results?
You don’t need to add anything to the water to make the treatment work. Although, some
people have reported that adding a 1/4 teaspoon of salt or baking soda to the water has
helped.
Can I use filtered, carbon filtered, or distilled water?
No. There must be minerals in the water for the iontophoresis treatment to work. If you
are using any kind of filtered or distilled water, you should add add 1/4 teaspoon of baking
soda to one liter of your distilled or filtered water.
My water is going through a carbon filter. Can I use it?
No. There must be minerals in the water for the iontophoresis treatment to work. You can
add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to one liter of your distilled or filtered water to ensure
that it works.
Note: Always use tap water. Purified or distilled water does not conduct electricity. Therefore,
you should only use tap water. Tap water’s electrical conductivity relies on dissolved salts
and minerals, which can vary from one location to the other. If necessary, adding a small
amount of baking soda or salt to the water will improve water’s conductivity.
