Iontophoresis: An effective treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Do you suffer from uncontrolled sweating on your hands, feet, or underarms? Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, isn't just a problem in summer. It can restrict your daily life and severely affect your well-being. Iontophoresis is a proven, effective, and safe treatment method that is medically proven to help you achieve a drier skin feel and a new quality of life.
What is iontophoresis and how does it work?
Iontophoresis is a gentle direct current therapy that has been used successfully for decades to combat excessive sweating. The principle is simple: a weak, safe direct current flows through the body parts affected by hyperhidrosis, soothing the nerves responsible for excessive sweat production. This effectively reduces sweat formation.
The treatment is carried out with specially developed devices that use either:
- water baths for hands and feet (tap water iontophoresis) or
- moistened electrodes for underarms, forehead, or back
to guide the current specifically to the skin's surface. Iontophoresis therapy is not only effective but also completely harmless, as it is powered exclusively by rechargeable batteries.
Usage, success rate, and safety
Iontophoresis treatment is easy to perform at home. A single session takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and should be performed daily at the start. After the first successes, which are often noticeable after just a few applications, 1-3 sessions per week are sufficient to maintain the desired result.
Success that speaks for itself
Numerous international studies confirm the effectiveness of iontophoresis. The success rate for treating hyperhidrosis is **over 80%**. This high rate makes the method one of the most effective forms of therapy against uncontrolled sweat breakouts on hands, feet, and underarms.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, iontophoresis is a safe procedure. The gradual increase in current impulses prevents electric shocks, and operation via rechargeable batteries ensures there is no danger during use. You will receive a detailed and easy-to-understand user manual with every device.
Targeted treatment for every body part
Whether you're dealing with sweaty hands, feet, or underarms, our iontophoresis devices offer a suitable solution for every affected body region.
Iontophoresis for sweaty hands (Hyperhidrosis Palmaris)
A clammy handshake can be very unpleasant in both professional and private life. Evolutionarily, sweaty hands don't serve to regulate heat but to provide grip. Iontophoresis is the ideal solution here to specifically reduce sweat production and give you confident, dry hands once again.
Iontophoresis for sweaty feet (Hyperhidrosis Plantaris)
Feet have a particularly high number of sweat glands. In combination with bacteria, foot sweat can lead to unpleasant foot odour. Regular use of iontophoresis is proven to work against sweaty feet and helps to tackle the problem at its root.
Iontophoresis for sweaty underarms (Hyperhidrosis Axillaris)
Sweaty underarms are often associated with visible sweat stains and body odour. Underarm treatment is conveniently carried out using special sponge bags. After just a few days, body odour is reduced and sweating is noticeably diminished.
