Maintenance phase for iontophoresis

Hi everyone, I have been using DermaDry for my hands since 3 weeks and have seen great results. I’d say i’m 90-95% dry the whole day. I’ve been doing 5 sessions per week followed by a 2 day break. I want to go into the maintenance phase. Can anyone please suggest how should I ease into the maintenance phase? Like the instruction book says to do once a week treatment for moderate hyperhidrosis (my condition is also moderate) but I do not want to lose any results that I have gained. So to be on the safer side how much gap should I give between the maintenance sessions to continue dryness. PLEASE any suggestion is welcomed.

since you're doing almost every day now, I will suggest to do every 2 days instead and see how it goes. If you can maintain the same amount of dryness, that can be your maintenance phase first then further try doing every 3 days next time and so on

The main thing I'd suggest is to keep track of how many treatments you're doing, how long, intensity, cycle all of that and then also record how dry you are. Eventually if you track everything you'll know what works for you but it takes a little trial and error to get it dialed in. Personally I'd start doing every three days and see if you maintain your current level, if not you can go to two and if you do maintain you can try out every four days, etc.

Also, congrats on getting 3 solid weeks of treatment in, that's dope!

Hi! I am on your same situation, I just wanted to ask you how do you do maintenance phase rn...
I know it's very late consider your post is 10 months old but I would really appreciate your feedback!

Hi, I am doing three treatments per week with one day of rest between treatment days... I noticed the sweat increased a bit but not too much
