Indetouch Iontophoresis Machine: What to Know

During treatment, hands or feet are placed in shallow trays of water while a device delivers a controlled current. Some systems use pads for areas such as the underarms. The sensation may be tingling, and skin can become dry or irritated. Treatment reduces sweat activity while it is continued, so maintenance sessions may be needed. It is mainly considered for focal [Excessive Sweating](/symptoms/excessive-sweating/) affecting the hands, feet, or underarms.

Follow the device instructions and a clinician's guidance on session settings and frequency. Check the skin first and avoid use over cuts, inflamed areas, or recent procedures. Do not place jewellery or electronic devices in the treatment area. A clinician can explain the [Iontophoresis Device](/technology/iontophoresis-device/) and whether clinic-based [Iontophoresis](/treatments/laser-and-energy/iontophoresis/) fits your symptoms. Other options may include [Botox For Sweating](/treatments/injectables/botulinum-toxin-for-hyperhidrosis/).

Stop and seek advice if treatment causes persistent pain, marked burning, blistering, swelling, or a rash. Get medical assessment before using iontophoresis if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, are pregnant, have reduced sensation, or have significant heart disease. New widespread sweating or sweating with dizziness, chest discomfort, fever, or unexplained weight change needs medical review.

Is my sweating focal or a sign of another condition? Is this device appropriate with my medicines or implanted devices? Which areas, settings, and maintenance plan are suitable for my skin?
