IontoBravo iontophoresis device
DETAILS
Iontophoresis against hyperhidrosis or for better transdermal drug transport
Many years of scientifi c studies have shown that tap water iontophoresis can be a highly effective alternative to medication or surgery. The treatment with IontoBravo is done using simple hand and foot baths. The weak current which is passed through the water, is suffi cient to reduce the excretion of the sweat glands, without damaging them. Current is applied by wet sponge bags to treat the armpit area.
Optimal results are achieved with direct current, but sensitive patients or children can rely on pulsed current, which is effective as well. If initial treatment is applied once a day for approximately 15 minutes, sweat secretion should normalize within 2 – 3 weeks. Maintenance sessions should be performed one to two times per week to prevent re-occurrence.
Iontophoresis is also useful to enhance drug delivery through the skin into deeper tissue.
