Ionotophoresis manages to reduce the effects of hyperhidrosis by sending electrical signals in the sweat glands, thus disrupting their process and diminishing the excessive sweat. The method of applying Ionotophoresis implies that the affected area of a patient’s body is placed under water and then passing a small electrical charge through the skin.
Depending on your doctor, it may be very expensive to have this procedure done, but thanks to the video below, it’s a snap to build your own Ionotophoresis device! Thanks to Dr. Bowling at shannonbowling.com for sharing this cost effective solution!
The less severe forms of excessive sweating may be cured using this method. The process itself is time consuming and the treatment needs to be repeated indefinitely. The initial treatment time goes up to 20 minutes and is then adapted to the patient’s needs. The continual treatment represents a major disadvantage of this method. Many patients feel like they are spending too much time with a treatment that does not guarantee a complete recovery.
On the other hand, Ionotophoresis has very few side effects. Patients sometimes report slight pain in the affected areas, especially in the initial stages of the treatment. Areas affected by it may crack or show a heightened level of dryness. Doctors usually reduce the treatment frequency and duration when this occurs.

Is this possible to be done in the axillae/underarm area with a sponge electrode?

If not so, simply send the device to the address specified in the instructions for use and we will send you your money back.
Question: I have been using the device already for a week, but the hands and feet are still sweaty. Does it mean that it does not work?
Answer: Do not worry, iontophoresis works on nearly everyone. Many people wonder immediately after the first procedure why the device does not work, but the opposite is true. During the treatment, it is necessary to follow the instructions for use and frequency of treatment procedures. Initially, it seems as if nothing happens, but the treatment takes place. Over time (within 1-3 weeks), sweating suddenly disappears.
Question: I already had the third procedure, but my hands are sweating perhaps even more than before, is this normal?
Answer: Continue your treatment and your hands will get dry. This phenomenon is observed by approximately 20% of users. Before your palms stop sweating, sometimes there is a short-term increase in sweating. This phenomenon signals that you will reach your goal soon. Continue the treatment as instructed.
Question: How often do I have to use iontophoresis?
Answer: Use the device regularly during the first one to three weeks according to the instructions for use. After that comes the maintenance phase, and the device is used to the affected area only once in every 14-40 days depending on the type of a patient and only when the sweating begins to return.
Question: What is the price difference between iontophoresis and botulinum toxin treatments?
Answer: Application of botulinum toxin will cost you, according to where it is applied (size), at least €400 (for both hands), €600 for feet and €400 for armpits per application. These, however, must be repeated after several months (5-6) for the same price. You have to attend a clinic, and if botulinum toxin is not working, you will get no money back. A iontophoresis device is paid for only once (for a price not exceeding CZK 10,000) and you can use it constantly at the cost of recharging AA batteries. This means that for a single temporary application of botulinum toxin into your palms, you can buy the iontophoresis device which can be used continuously for many years. What’s more, you will get a money back guarantee.
Question: Is it okay that I stop sweating? Are there any consequences for my health?
Answer: Sweating helps to cool your body during exercise. However, you stop sweating only in places treated by the device, i.e. hands, feet and armpits. Other parts of the body ensure reliable thermoregulation and removal of pollutants as before, so do not worry about any negative effects on your body.
Question: Isn’t the treatment of excessive sweating by iontophoresis painful?
Answer: No, It is not. However, you must select the appropriate device. For example, when developing Electro Antiperspirant, we tested different frequencies of electric current to determine those whose impact on the human body is the least painful. At worst, you can feel weak tingling.

This may sound simple, but it works for me – just rub baby powder on your hands before school or whatever.

Will a battery from Dewalt tools work on the Ionotophoresis machine as well? It’s 18V and I can recharge it so I don’t have to constant buying new batteries. My seems to run out of juice after couple uses.
ryan says
I’m about to try it myself, but botox is the best treatment and i’m not as bad as I used to be after having it. For some it cures it completely. As far as body odor goes I think diet plays a part.

I have severe body odor, will Ionotophoresis cure or at least help my situation?
