Iontophoresis<\/a> is a safe, painless, and effective treatment that a person can use to reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the hands, feet, and armpits. Research shows that almost 3-5% of the world\u2019s population has this medical condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People suffering from hyperhidrosis are constantly looking for new treatment options that could help them reduce sweating and make life a little easier. For decades, people have used tap water iontophoresis to treat hyperhidrosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Internet has helped spread information about this method within the hyperhidrosis community, most patients are still unaware of this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If over-the-counter antiperspirants and home remedies do not curb the sweating problem, you might turn to medical treatments. With several options to choose from, iontophoresis is a non-invasive, painless, and relatively inexpensive treatment that is suitable for patients to use at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might wonder if iontophoresis is really effective? Considering the effectiveness that customers got using our device and the research that has been done \u2013 the simple answer is yes. But before investing your time and money in iontophoresis, you should know how the treatment works, potential side effects, and what results you can expect. So, let’s dig into this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is iontophoresis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Iontophoresis machines are one of the most efficient ways to treat hyperhidrosis. This treatment is suitable for treating hyperhidrosis of the hands, feet, underarms. If the necessary accessory is available, for example, Hidroxa iontophoresis face mask, treatment of craniofacial hyperhidrosis is possible. Please note that treating craniofacial hyperhidrosis with an iontophoresis face mask is still experimental. Nevertheless, we had satisfied customers that say it helps them to manage their sweating. Many patients have achieved great success, but the truth is that it will require some work until satisfactory results are achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive effect of iontophoresis is seen in reducing uncontrollable, excessive sweating since the 1940s. In recent decades, many international studies and case studies have investigated iontophoresis and its positive effect on the treatment of hyperhidrosis. The treatments tend to be very efficient with minimal side effects. The success rate ranges between 80-90% of treated patients while numerous reviews of our happy customers testify the efficiency of this treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main advantages of this method are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– the reduction of the excessive sweating <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– it is a non-invasive, needle-free, drug-free method <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– the efficiency of iontophoresis treatment for hyperhidrosis generally ranges between 80%-90% of people treated <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– easy to use & clinically proven <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does iontophoresis work? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Iontophoresis is often recommended to people who have tried prescription antiperspirants but without success and need more effective treatment. It\u2019s a medical device that delivers a mild electrical current while your affected body part is submerged in the water. Make sure that the water covers the area you wish to treat and no more than that. For example, the palms of the hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before treatment, you will need to turn on the device and place your hands or feet in trays filled with lukewarm water. To treat armpits\/face, keep water-soaked sponge pads placed under the armpits or wear a face mask soaked in water. Then a small current passes through the water. Tap water is used as an electrically conductive medium between the electrode and the skin. Accordingly, the use of tap water-soaked sponge pouches is to avoid direct skin contact with the electrodes and thus achieves a greatly homogenous current flow through the skin. The current is conducted in one direction for a certain time, and then vice versa during the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
