I AM OVER THE MOON I AM OVER THE MOON! Long story short, my dermatologist referred me over to fischer last year and of course my insurance is one who doesn’t cover iontophoresis, so I decided to hold off. (I had tried a different brand prior so I was very skeptical this would be any different) Flash forward to January this year I decided to give it a try because my hyperhidrosis had gotten much worse and was getting really tough to deal with. I am annoyed of myself for waiting so long!!!! After about 2 weeks of treating my hands were bone DRY! My feet and underarms did take a little longer to reach that point almost 4 weeks, but I am about 3 months into treating and I treat once a week to stay dry right now. I hear I can go even longer but for now ill stick to this schedule! Also, thanks to the reps for answering all my questions even after getting my device and calling in a handful of times. Thank you thank you!!!!

I recently got the PureWick from RA… I recently got the PureWick from RA Fischer and Dan was super helpful and very kind! I received my package super quick too. I highly recommend RA Fischer to anyone considering getting the PureWick.

Not for axillary—you will lose money trying I needed this machine for axillary hyperhidrosis. My dermatologist wouldn’t write my prescription because he said this only works for hands and feet, despite claims to the contrary. I should have listened to him but instead I paid the $40 to get the online doctor to write the RX. Because I have sensitive underarms I wasn’t able to get the strength very high without pain, and I don’t feel like it was safe for the current to pass over my heart (plus it made me queasy.) I tried using the paddles on one side at a time to avoid my heart (armpit to hand) but then the process was taking 45 minutes per night, with very little hope of it actually being effective. To return this $750 machine plus insure it, it cost me $50 out of pocket. So this ended up being a $90 failed experiment (hopefully the refund deposits soon.) Axillary sufferers beware. I should have just taken my dermatologists advice and avoided this machine for my own personal needs. I’m sure it works well for hands and feet.

Perspective From a Climber First and foremost, the iontophoresis machine works! For me, it took a little over a week to see diminished sweating on my palms and feet, but now I'm in the maintenance phase and go weeks between treatment sessions! In that time I don't notice any sweating at all where my hands and feet get submerged in the tub. There's still some sweating on the parts that aren't submerged as you would expect. I had gotten used to life with hyperhidrosis and all the quirks it comes with. I had always found a little work around like having a paper towel under my hand as I write, or wiping my hands before shaking. As a long time climber, having sweaty palms has always gotten in the way. Although sport climbing was my first taste of the sport and my favorite way to climb, I eventually gravitated to bouldering because I could get away with chalking up once before an attempt instead of having an extra battle to fight while on the wall. At the end of the last sport climbing season I decided enough was enough and that I wanyed to try iontophoresis because I wasn't a fan of other treatment options. I noticed that the first time back in the bouldering gym once I started my maintenance phase, I was chalking up so much less and I could even see the difference on my palms! The chalk itself was still on my hands after many attempts on the wall whereas before there would be NO chalk left on my palms after just one attempt. Sport climbing outside is now significantly improved too because my shoes don't slip on my feet and I can go longer in between chalk-ups which changes the way I approach a climb now. All this to say I would absolutely recommend The Fischer!

Return and Refund process isn’t great I purchased the device for underarm sweating and I was very optimistic in the beginning of it all. Everyone was responding to questions quickly (trying to get the sale) being very friendly, etc. The device didn’t work for me but that is no fault to them, everyone is different. But when it was time to return it things got complicated. Emails were all of the sudden taking days to get a response to. And when I would get a response it was not very friendly at all. They obviously ask you to ship it back them and that came out to over $25. Affirm then gave me my initial payment back but only partial of my second payment. They said that they have to keep a portion of it themselves. Then I asked about potential reimbursement for the shipping cost but they couldn’t do that either. That is probably policy but if I were you I would just hope this device works because the refund and return process is rocky. I just feel like I lost a good amount of time and money for something that didn’t work.
