Initial Phase - duration before experiencing results
Treatment should take place at equal intervals, from 3 (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) to 5 (e.g. Monday to Friday) times per week, at the highest comfortable current level.
Follow this schedule until sweating has significantly reduced, or the desired level of dryness has been achieved.
Never perform more than 5 treatments per week nor more than one treatment per day.
Initial Phase duration before experiencing results1,2 :
mild hyperhidrosis
moderate hyperhidrosis
severe hyperhidrosis
Using a higher (but still comfortable) current will help you attain results faster. Treatment effectiveness can vary from one individual to another.
Phase 2 - Maintenance Phase
The Maintenance Phase is required to maintain the achieved results. This phase will require fewer treatments than the Initial Phase.
Frequency of Maintenance Treatment to maintain sweat reduction results1,2 :
mild hyperhidrosis
moderate hyperhidrosis
severe hyperhidrosis
Never perform more than 5 treatments per week nor more than one treatment per day.
