Iontophoresis for Excessive Sweating and Hyperhidrosis
SweatStop® Iontophoresis: Your Solution for Excessive Sweating
Do you suffer from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)? SweatStop® Iontophoresis offers an effective and proven method to reduce sweating on the hands, feet, and armpits.
What is Iontophoresis?
Iontophoresis is a medical procedure where mild electrical currents are passed through the skin. These currents influence the nerves that activate the sweat glands, thereby reducing sweat production.
How Does SweatStop® Iontophoresis Work?
- Water Baths: You immerse your hands or feet in trays containing lightly salted water.
- Electrical Pulses: Mild electrical currents are passed through the water.
- Effect: The nerves are calmed, and sweat production is reduced.

How Does SweatStop® Iontophoresis Work Against Excessive Sweating and Hyperhidrosis?
Tap water iontophoresis (TWI) is a direct current therapy for treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) on the hands, feet, and armpits (palmar, plantar hyperhidrosis). This involves exposing the nerves to weak electrical impulses, which calms the nerves and consequently reduces sweat production.
In tap water iontophoresis, two trays are filled with water, each equipped with an electrical conductor. The hands or feet are then immersed in the water bath and exposed to a weak direct current; they act as the electrical conductor, completing the circuit through the body. For application to the armpits, water-soaked sponge pockets are used instead of water trays.
A weaker current strength usually quickly yields satisfactory results, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be significantly reduced. Excessive current strengths are not necessary.
Treatment initially takes place daily, and once the effect is achieved, every 1-3 days for 20 minutes. Initial treatment success is typically seen after just a few applications.

Iontophoresis for Sweating
In iontophoresis, a distinction should be made between two methods. Firstly, there is the method with electricity and the additional administration of medication, and secondly, the pure electricity method. Here, we will delve deeper into the latter, the tap water (electricity) method. In direct current tap water iontophoresis, the affected area is treated with the aid of electrodes. The flow of electricity regulates the overproduction of the sweat glands. Electrical impulses calm the nerves, thus reducing sweat production. Initially, daily treatment is recommended. Each treatment lasts approximately 15 - 20 minutes and, after the first successes, should only be repeated 1-3 times per week.
Iontophoresis Experiences
The iontophoresis treatment method has been proven for many years. According to studies, the success rate is over 80%. Iontophoresis, especially for pathological heavy sweating, is one of the best and most reliable methods to combat excessive sweating. People who sweat heavily or excessively may suffer from a condition called hyperhidrosis. Those affected sweat excessively for no particular reason. They suffer from uncontrolled sweating episodes, which can drastically affect their quality of life. Especially for people suffering from hyperhidrosis, iontophoresis is an effective and efficient method to combat sweating.
Iontophoresis for Underarm Sweating
Heavy sweating under the arms or in the armpits is very unpleasant for most of us. Especially when wet patches become visible on clothing. It is an embarrassing situation for many when sweat stains become visible under the arms and also start to smell unpleasant. The tap water direct current method will show success after just a few treatments. The procedure is carried out with the aid of an iontophoresis device for sweating. The device emits weak electrical impulses to the nerves in the armpit region and calms them. The corresponding electrical impulses can be controlled with different intensity levels. The first successes can be seen after the first treatments. At the beginning of the therapy procedure, daily treatment is recommended, each lasting about 20 minutes and, after the first successes, can only be repeated every 1-3 days.
Iontophoresis for Sweaty Hands
People who sweat on their hands particularly suffer from this condition. Every handshake becomes a challenge. A damp handshake is an unpleasant feeling for both parties, but more so for the person suffering from sweaty hands. Everyone has a large accumulation of sweat glands on their palms, but these exceptionally do not serve to regulate the body's temperature. Evolutionarily, sweaty hands served for better grip. Precisely because there are so many bacteria on our palms and one also sweats heavily on the hands, many find sweaty hands unhygienic. Iontophoresis is actually always applied according to the same principle. Weak electrical impulses calm the nerves responsible for sweat production. Regular application of the tap water direct current method reduces sweat production on the hands. Therefore, the procedure is an effective remedy for sweaty hands.
Iontophoresis Against Sweaty Feet and Foot Odour
Sweaty feet are mostly of genetic origin, but metabolic disorders or hormonal changes can also be the cause of sweaty feet. We have a very large number of sweat glands on the foot or the sole of the foot. The combination of sweat and bacteria leads to foot odour. As soon as we excrete more sweat on the foot than usual, this is referred to as overproduction or sweaty feet. Foot sweat and foot odour (bromhidrosis, odour problems) are classic characteristics of sweaty feet. Those affected also constantly suffer from cold feet because their feet are constantly wet. Iontophoresis also offers relief for sweaty feet. An iontophoresis device for sweating generates electrical impulses of varying strengths. The electrical impulses calm the nerves of the sweat glands. With regular use, you will soon no longer suffer from sweaty feet and foot odour.
