The iontophoresis is designed for the permanent treatment of intense perspiration.
An increased tendency to perspire on the feet, hands or in the underarm area is often very unpleasant for the person concerned. In this case, iontophoresis has proven to be an effective, cost-effective, reliable therapy method that is easy to apply.
The iontophoresis treatment of the hyperhidrosis manum et pedum is a physical application. It was first described by Bouman and Grunewald-Lentzer in 1952. Here, direct current causes an ion exchange through the skin. Plastic tubs are filled with lukewarm water to a level that just allows the hyperhidrotic palms of the hand and the soles of the feet to be moistened. The current, which can be adjusted with push-buttons and/or pedal switches up to 25 mA flows through electrode plates.
The intensity of current is to be selected so as to make the treatment comfortable. Depending on the intensity of perspiration, the bath treatment may take between 10 to 40 minutes. As the anode is empirically known to show a higher effectivity, the polarity should be reversed after half of the treatment time has elapsed.
In the majority of cases, the desired effect, i.e. the sweat inhibition of the sweat glands becomes effective after approx. 10-20 treatments. We recommend the administration of the therapy on a daily basis as long as a noticeable reduction of sweat is noted. In order to maintain the success of this therapy, the treatment should be repeated at regular intervals, minimally however, once per week.
Additional healing effects
In addition, the latest scientifically-proven tests have shown that this process can also be very successful in the treatment of gram-negative foot infection, dyshidrotic eczema , pustulosis palmaris et plantaris, acrocyanosis and arthrosis.
Please contact your doctor if you:
- suffer from heart rhythm disturbance,
- are pregnant,
- have a pacemaker or an endoprosthesis.
In ideal cases, the iontophoresis therapy should naturally be carried out by the attending physician. When the patient has become familiar with the method and the therapy has started to achieve results, a curative treatment at home as a form of preservation therapy is recommended as this has proven in many cases to be very successful. Thereafter, this iontophoresis therapy should be continued under continous medical supervision (e.g. every quarter year).
- Successful therapeutic results are guaranteed after 10-20 treatments. The duration of each treatment is approx. 10-40 minutes.
- Adjustable treatment current of 0-25 mA for individual therapeutic needs.
- Electronic current limitation as well as safety shutdown for protection against sudden current interruption in the circuit.
- Two-digit digital displays for value reproduction.
- The treatment current flows only when the circuit is closed. The patients are therefore protected against electric shocks when they immerse their hands or feet.
- Aids the healing process even for cases of gram-negative foot infection, dyshidrotic eczema, pustulosis palmaris et plantaris, acrocyanosis and arthrosis.
- Small surface electrodes with sponge pockets for the comfortable therapeutic treatment of underarm perspiration
- Easy and quick disinfection is possible.
- If required, the treatment current can be regulated via pedal switches so that no second person is needed for the treatment of hand perspiration. In addition, the user can modify the treatment current during the therapy.
