Iontophoresis in use on different areas

Where and how iontophoresis can be used

Iontophoresis for hands and feet - classic areas - special areas

Sweaty hands and feet - those are traditional iontophoresis areas. They're the two classics among treatment areas: relatively easy to treat even with higher currents, and relatively resistant to skin irritation, since they are quite insensitive.

Iontophoresis was developed as a treatment for hands and feet with a simple direct current. Despite using the simplest direct current, this traditional form of iontophoresis has recorded a respectable success rate.

With the simple direct current, the electricity flows from plus to minus - much like a battery.

However, this procedure comes at the expense of comfort.

For this reason, many users nowadays prefer the pulsed current.

In the past, underarm sweat was also treated with iontophoresis, but not with the same success rate, since only direct current was available. The skin under the armpits is very sensitive.

Iontophoresis treatment zones

Hands and feet

Armpits

For the face

Forehead, abdomen & neck. Buttocks & back, etc.

Nowadays, all kinds of body parts can be treated very well thanks to new developments.

In addition to the traditional direct current, a pulsed direct current was introduced. This improved the feeling of the iontophoresis treatment. Today, armpits, hands and feet all benefit immensely from the pulsed current treatment.

After the armpits, more areas were treated with iontophoresis, namely the face, forehead, abdomen, back, and neck. In principle, all limited skin areas that allow the application of electrodes can be treated with iontophoresis.

One thing should not go unmentioned: all areas other than hands, feet and armpits have a lower chance of a successful treatment.

Of course, it is possible to achieve very good, remarkable results.

Nevertheless, these special areas remain a niche topic. Most people simply treat their hands, feet and underarms.
