Iontophoresis treatments in cardiff, South wales

Iontophoresis

Iontophoresis has been used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis for many decades. It is particularly effective for treating hyperhidrosis of the hands, feet and underarms. The process requires a dedicated machine to pass a low voltage electrical current through the skin of the hands or feet which are immersed in shallow trays of water. Special pads, or electrodes are required for the treatment of the underarms.

Iontophoresis is very safe with no significant or serious side effects.

Successful treatment requires seven sessions over a four week period initially to get the hyperhidrosis controlled then requires top-up treatments as needed which varies from every week to every two weeks. It usually takes at least four sessions before there is any noticeable reduction in sweating. Each treatment session takes about 20 minutes for the hands and 30 minutes for the feet.
