Treatment of hyperhidrosis in the armpits
For treatment of the armpits please use the two optional
electrodes together with the sponge pockets
(See Chapter 8 “Ordering spare parts”).
Do
not
turn off the device during treatment.
Soak the sponge pockets in a water bath through dipping
in, pressing and again dipping in. Press some water from
the sponge bags, just enough that they no longer drip (do
not wring!).
The more water stays in the sponge pockets, the better the
current will transfer to the areas undergoing treatment.
If the sponge bags are too dry there is considerable
risk of burns!
Attention! Direct skin contact with the metal electrodes
can cause burns!
Put the electrodes
completely
into the wet sponges.
Use the two electrode cables to connect the electrodes to
the positive and negative poles of the device.
Set the rotary switch so that the indentation is level with
the dot (
●
) on the case before switching on the device.
Turn on the device by pressing down the dark grey knob
that regulates the current.
Experience has shown that the desired therapeutic levels
can best be adjusted to comfort from this setting.
After switching on, the device will perform a self-test
automatically. This process takes a few seconds.
In the display you can read the maximum levels of the current
selected for therapy.
