What is Iontophoresis?
Iontophoresis is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment primarily used to combat hyperhidrosis, which is the medical term for excessive sweating. When prescription antiperspirants are not enough, this therapy offers a practical and proven solution.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, we use this safe method to help patients regain control and confidence, specifically targeting stubborn problem areas like sweaty palms and the soles of the feet.
How does Iontophoresis work?
During the treatment, you will simply place your hands or feet in a shallow tray filled with tap water. A specialized medical device then sends a very mild, completely safe electrical current through the water and across your skin's surface. This gentle current works to temporarily block the sweat glands, significantly reducing the amount of sweat produced.
The procedure is painless and usually only causes a slight, comfortable tingling sensation. For the best results, our dermatologists will design a personalized schedule of regular, short sessions to keep your skin comfortably dry over the long term.
