Hey everyone. It's me, Hallease. Endeavoring to persevere, as always. If you're new here,
I make videos about my chaotic good life. Subscribe, follow, social media, all the things.
On this channel, I've made a few videos around my hyperhidrosis which is
just a snazzy word for saying that you sweat excessively for no reason. And so on and so forth.
I've made videos around just how to combat that. Adjusting your wardrobe a little bit,
or thinking about different colors and styles you can wear to minimize the appearance of your sweat.
Because I made those videos, a company called Dermadry actually reached out to
me to try their at-home hyperhidrosis treatment device. All y'all. It, like,
works. So, in this video, I'm gonna talk to you a little bit about it and also show you
a demonstration of how to use it. Dermadry is a iontophoresis. Say that like five times fast.
I don't even know if I'm technically saying it right. Iontophoresis. Iontophor ... esis.
Basically what it does is it delivers a little bit of an electric current to your sweaty area
to temporarily stop your glands from producing sweat. That's the gist of it. I think it's a
pretty awesome treatment. I've been using it now for about three weeks, almost a month. I started
off using it at the lowest setting three times a week because you do end up needing to build up
until you can get to the maintenance dose which would maybe be once a week you do a treatment.
Or once every two weeks or so. When I first started using it, I was using it at the lowest
setting for three times a week. Each sitting treatment is 15 minutes. So, not that long.
I usually just sit with my phone and the things under my pits and watch a (laughs) YouTube video.
The first week I started at the lowest treatment which was just setting 'one.' Now, I'm more
or less at maintenance dose. I'm almost at maintenance dose. I do it once every couple days.
I have it at the 'three' setting. It's really, really simple and straightforward. It uses water
to transfer the current to your pits, hands, and feet. Everything you need is in the device.
If you go to the website, you can pick different types of devices. Say you want a device that only
focuses on hand and feed, then they'll omit a few things and the price comes down. Or if you
want the whole device where it has hands, feet, and pits, then you can get that one.
Or if you just want one for your armpits, again, it'll take away some of the stuff you don't
need and just use that device for you. This has actually been a real game changer for me because
leading up to receiving the device, I knew I was gonna have a lot of meetings and pitches. Even
though I'm doing a lot of stuff, like we all are, on Zoom, BlueJeans, insert whatever Google Meet,
insert whatever ... talk-y talk-y to people in the meeting app, I still get really nervous.
I still stress sweat, and so I've actually gotten to put this thing through it's paces with some
pretty big meetings that I've had recently. And
completely dry. I would say this is an expensive machine. Obviously, I got to try it for free. This
is something I'd buy (laughs). This is something I would easily pay for just because it really has
worked, and it has worked without actually needing that much time to become effective.
I was already starting to feel the results of it after two sessions.
Especially now where it's starting to get pretty hot here in Texas, although we have a cold front
right now randomly, I don't know. But especially now in Texas when it's starting to get hot ... for
those of y'all with hyperhidrosis, if you're watching this video then you know the stress.
You know the stress it causes. You know how it just makes you feel ... just embarrassed.
Just super embarrassed, super self-conscious. Then because you feel embarrassed and self-conscious,
you end up sweating more. I would say for me, when I have the stress sweats, they smell stronger and
so it's just. You just ... ugh. You know (laughs)? I feel like this device has actually given me a
lot of my confidence back. It's just really made things a lot easier for me especially in meetings.
I feel like I have a pretty good poker face in meetings, but my dead giveaway is my pits, brah!
One thing I will say about the device that is a little bit frustrating is that
it is a treatment device and it's only temporarily blocking the glands. So,
again, once you hit the maintenance, you get there and you'll maybe only have to use it
once or twice a week or once or twice biweekly, something like that. But that will take time.
There's a bit of a time investment into using the device to get yourself up to it.
Especially if you're someone with severe hyperhidrosis, you gonna have to work yourself
up to the maintenance treatment. It'll take a little bit longer. It'll probably take closer
to four or five weeks for you to get to where you feel like is the maintenance
treatment dose. I feel like it's worth it. I really do. I mean, there's so many
at-home treatments for just different things whether it be aesthetically and stuff like that
that I've tried and this is the first one that actually like ...
It said it would do it and it did it (laughs). The other thing I will say, too,
is that since I'm not sweating as much whether it be stress sweating or just regular sweating,
I don't smell as strong by the end of the day, which is really nice.
Usually I would have to reapply deodorant midday or just reapply, or just freshen up
midday. I don't have to do that anymore because I use this treatment device and it works.
I just wanted to get on and talk to y'all about it. Again, yes, I did receive the device for free,
but this is something I would pay for (laughs). This is something I would definitely pay for. Down
in the description box, I have included a link so that you can get a discount on the device if you
are interested in trying it. Obviously no pressure with that. In the comments below as always,
let me know what you're doing to combat your hyperhidrosis and work through it. Tips, tricks.
My biggest tip is always to wear cotton and linen, fabrics that breathe.
Stay away from those manmade ... polyester is not your friend (laughs). If you are an
excessive sweater, stay away from polyester. But in the comments below, let me know if you have
any other tips and tricks for excessive sweating. If you've tried this device,
let me know as well in the comments below. Again, I am Hallease, endeavoring to persevere as always.
