Iontophoresis questions for home made or bought

I made a home made ionto via shannon's youtube video and i'm on day 6 and noticing no improvement whatsoever. I plan on doing more treatments up to day 10, and then I'll stop and see what happens (since some ppl say their hands stopped sweating when they stopped the treatments).

If that doesn't work, i might shell out that damn near $1,000 for the Fischer MD-1A Iontophoresis machine I was prescribed some months ago by my dermatologist. I just wanted to know from the ppl who have this machine if it worked for them and how long did it take to start working? Also curious to know how old u r and how much you weigh.

hey! I too made the shannonbowling iontophoresis machine, it worked great at first....lost my way with the maintenence treatments tho, and now im back to square 1!! gonna give myself a 2 week break and start all over again.
ive never bought a machine, guess I would if I had the money tho..
oh and im 23, female, and prob about 8-9 stone in weight.

how many days did it take before you stopped sweating? and did you do one treatment a day or two? I've been doing it daily, once a day, for about 7 days now. still not working for me. i'm using 3 6V batteries (18V).

I didnt stop sweating noticeably untill Id finished all 7 treatments. A couple of days after stopping treatments the results were really good. I did one 20 min session a day and use the same battery voltage as you. I think the hands have to kinda calm down maybe? this worked for me up untill the last few weeks where I think I mucked up somewhere..

funny thing is, I decided to give myself a 2 week break from last monday and start again after doing 10 treatments in a row and no sucess, (last treatment being on sunday) and today my hands are really dry apart from the finger tips! (this is 5 days after I stopped now!!...) guess I over did it..so im just going to give it another week and re-start with doing just 7 treatments over 7 days, and im going to write down what I do and what results I get to get a clear idea of what im doing..
