Iontophoresis newbies, novices, rookies & beginners

Help! I'm sweating and interested in iontophoresis/I'm new to the therapy and I've got a thousand questions!

Interested in iontophoresis? Great, it's a good choice of therapy. Iontophoresis is top!

→ You're interested in iontophoresis and have a thousand questions?

→ Do you have an iontophoresis device at home, or have you made your choice?

→ Haven't chosen a device yet?

Have you chosen, rented or recently purchased a device, or do you already have one at home?

Let's get started! Familiarize yourself with the topic of iontophoresis

...preferably before the iontophoresis device arrives...

Preparation: Theory and dry runs:

It will save you a lot of frustration and time to you approach iontophoresis well-informed and prepared from the start.

Where do I begin? What should all beginners know about iontophoresis?

Three important things for the best results and quickest success with iontophoresis

Avoid the three most common beginner mistakes

Cardinal mistakes / Deadly sins / Things not to do!

Lack of patience
- Stay committed - daily therapy until you achieve success
- Wanting too much - increasing the current too quickly
- Not listening to your body: If it tingles, decrease the current!
Poorly informed
- If the sweating increases initially - a good sign!
- Amateur approach
- Instruction manual for the circular file (trash can)
- Lack of theoretical knowledge
Incorrect water level

Addressing the three most common beginner concerns

Our "Ask me anything about iontophoresis" department answers further, less frequently asked questions

Practice: When the iontophoresis device is there...

So, have you already familiarized yourself with the theory or theoretical part of iontophoresis? No? Then it's time for some catch-up.

Have you passed the theoretical exam through the previous link? Then: Dive into practice!

Have you completed all three points and achieved your goal? 15 minutes of iontophoresis per week and still completely dry?

As a token of appreciation, we would be very grateful if you could rate our service and free information on Google.

If you encounter problems, lack of success, loss of success, partial success, or even complete success - our advice page is always worthwhile. There's still much to learn. Have fun, gain new insights, and achieve even better results!

Iontophoresis Knowledge: Which device is suitable

When choosing an iontophoresis device - questions

Which device?

Our iontophoresis compass addresses:

Pulsed current / Direct current
- Direct current? Never! Right?
- Does excessive sweating require direct current?
  - I've heard that direct current is much better → if the previous points haven't provided clarification
- Is variable pulsed current better after all?

Iontophoresis Q&A

Ask me anything about iontophoresis

Iontophoresis is a recognized, scientifically proven, and medically accepted therapy for excessive sweating.

Iontophoresis forever?

No, it doesn't have to be that way. Hyperhidrosis can go away exactly as it came. Bye bye iontophoresis and welcome natural skin condition without sweating!

Iontophoresis can taper off. You will have longer treatment breaks and can leave the iontophoresis device in the cabinet more often. And perhaps one day you won't need it anymore.

In this case, renting an iontophoresis device is a good option.

Iontophoresis current: Dangerous or safe?

Iontophoresis devices are safe medical products. The current runs in the low voltage range. If you pay attention to your bodily comfort, nothing bad can happen.

If you feel the current (it tingles), you can lower the current intensity.

You notice slight redness (which should disappear after 5–10 minutes) even if you do not feel any discomfort from the current? Then you can lower the current intensity until the redness no longer appears. This simply means that you are not sensitive to the current. ⇒Adjusting the current right

Implants, braces, screws, plates, jewellery, prostheses, and piercings

Metal is a contraindication, but only if that metal lies in the path of the current. If you are treating your feet, dental implants or braces are allowed. See iontophoresis and implants.

Can you regulate the current intensity?

All our devices have the ability to finely adjust the current intensity. Some devices even allow you to adjust the pulse width.

Iontophoresis side effects

Since iontophoresis was not invented specifically to treat sweating, let's talk about the most pleasant side effect: Iontophoresis can stop sweating.

Other side effects are not expected unless the current intensity is too high. In that case, there may be redness or tingling.

Excessively dry skin can also be a clear sign that you have treated too often, too intensely, or for too long.

"Washerwoman's hands" can occur after a long iontophoresis session. Such wrinkled hands will soon disappear.

Iontophoresis is reversible and conservative

Conservative means without intervention.

Reversible: If you stop using iontophoresis, the skin will return to its previous condition and start sweating again.

Are you a beginner or a newcomer? Iontophoresis is not too complicated once you know how it works. Don't waste any time and start learning about the therapy right away!

Is there a habituation effect?

No, many users successfully continue their iontophoresis treatments throughout their lives without any loss of effectiveness.

Do you always have to increase treatment frequency and intensity?

No, the therapy is highly individual and changes over time. It is possible that there will be times when you need to treat more or sometimes less to stay dry or prevent excessively dry skin (dosage - sometimes you need more, sometimes you need less). The effectiveness threshold may also vary, and it can be challenging to overcome this hurdle. (See our notes on pulsed current for more information on this topic).
