Is the treatment safe and what are the possible side effects?Updated a month ago

Yes, experience over many years has shown that Iontophoresis treatment in the clinic and at home is safe without serious side effects. 

The following temporary side effects have been reported in the literature. 

Irritation, skin reddening, burning sensation, small blisters and itching. Wait until symptoms disappear completely before starting your next treatment.

Tingling and stinging sensations. Slight pain could be felt at the beginning of the treatment or after the polarity changes. If you feel any of the above effects, reduce the current intensity during your next treatment.

Increased sweating: After the first few treatments, you may experience an increase in sweating. This is normal and is the body's way of adjusting to the treatment.  This will reduce after a few treatments.

Small electric shocks during treatment: In very rare cases, a harmless electric shock may occur if treatment is interrupted suddenly. To avoid this risk, remove your hands, feet or underarm electrodes slowly.

Skin dryness: Skin may become dry, and scaling may occur. This is due to the skin changing during treatment and producing less sweat. A moisturising or emollient cream can be used to treat and prevent skin dryness.
