    Glossary Iontophoresis

    uses mild electrical currents to deliver medication through skin

    Iontophoresis is a medical technique that uses a mild electrical current to deliver medication or other substances through the skin. This method enhances the absorption of drugs, making it useful for treating conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and certain types of pain. By applying a small electrical charge, iontophoresis helps drive charged molecules of the medication deeper into the tissues, providing targeted relief.
