My dermatologist ordered me a iontophoresis machine for my palmar hyperhidrosis. is this something i will need to use every day if it works?

Yes: At the beginning, you need to use everyday (possibly 7-8 sessions). Once it works, you can do maintenance, once-twice per week.

Usually at first: The machine usually needs to be used frequently at first, then less often to maintain the benefit.
