Several half-hour treatments result in approximately 6 weeks of no perspiration. Process is repeatable indefinitely.

Body odor or underarm odor caused by heavy sweating cannot be controlled by antiperspirants. The Drionic device was created especially for extreme perspiration control where an antiperspirant would fail.

Body odor coming from perspiration wetted garments such as blouses, jackets or undergarments makes us sensitive when others around us feel uncomfortable in our presence.  In addition to the body odor or underarm odor present on the garments, the perspiration leaves indelible stains and sometimes odor even after they've been cleaned. It is not uncommon for excessive perspiration to "wick-out" in large areas under the arms. When perspiration  evaporates, the salt crystals deposit on the fabric's surface. This results in an unsightly perspiration stain. It is offensive and embarrassing to most people. The body odor or underarm odor sufferer knows too well that their excessive perspiration severely limits their choice of garments to only light colored apparel. Thus the permanently stained garment now must be replaced at great cost. The cycle of perspiration, body odor or underarm odor, ruined clothing and limited clothing color choice can now be broken with the underarm Drionic device. Antiperspirants are of no value in controlling heavy sweating. Studies have shown that antiperspirants are only 20-40% effective in half the users. The other 50% of users obtain no benefits at all from antiperspirants.

Of the medical problems causing hyperhidrosis of the underarms, diabetes is a major contributor. This is so because a significant effect of diabetes is the loss of circulation of the extremities. This loss of circulation includes perspiration which no longer can reach the hands or the feet.  However, since the sweat must have an outlet, the underarms are the recipient of all the excess sweat that cannot be distributed to the extremities. The diabetic therefore can benefit greatly by controlling underarm perspiration.
