What is iontophoresis?

Used by medical professionals the world over since the 1920s, iontophoresis is a safe,  painless and non-invasive process, initially devised as a method of delivering  medicine through the skin (trans-dermal drug delivery). Since the 1940s, the  process has been used without medicine as an effective method of controlling  excessive sweating.

Iontophoresis treatment for Hyperhidrosis involves using a dedicated  iontophoresis machine – such as the idromed® 5 GS – with simple tap water to pass a safe, painless  electrical current through the areas of the body where excessive sweating is a  problem. The result is a total reduction of sweating in the treatment area.

This method of treating Hyperhidrosis has been used by doctors, skin  specialists and other medical professionals in hospitals, clinics and  dermatology departments around the world for over 65 years.

SIMPLE TO USE

With its one-touch controls, the idromed® 5 GS is very easy to use. Treatments are performed using simple tap water, although  if recommended by your doctor, this device can be used with prescription medications.

Iontophoresis is an extremely  successful method of treating hyperhidrosis, and it should be considered if  high quality maximum strength antiperspirants are unable to control sweat  levels. It should be also attempted before considering invasive processes, such  as surgery or Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections.

• has  a heart pacemaker
