Ionotophoresis manages to reduce the effects of hyperhidrosis by sending electrical signals in the sweat glands, thus disrupting their process and diminishing the excessive sweat. The method of applying Ionotophoresis implies that the affected area of a patient’s body is placed under water and then passing a small electrical charge through the skin.
Depending on your doctor, it may be very expensive to have this procedure done, but thanks to the video below, it’s a snap to build your own Ionotophoresis device! Thanks to Dr. Bowling at shannonbowling.com for sharing this cost effective solution!
The less severe forms of excessive sweating may be cured using this method. The process itself is time consuming and the treatment needs to be repeated indefinitely. The initial treatment time goes up to 20 minutes and is then adapted to the patient’s needs. The continual treatment represents a major disadvantage of this method. Many patients feel like they are spending too much time with a treatment that does not guarantee a complete recovery.
On the other hand, Ionotophoresis has very few side effects. Patients sometimes report slight pain in the affected areas, especially in the initial stages of the treatment. Areas affected by it may crack or show a heightened level of dryness. Doctors usually reduce the treatment frequency and duration when this occurs.
Hey anup, can you tell me what were the Yoga Asanas that you did to control excessive sweating? my email id is rohanpandit1985@yahoo.com
Hi, i am anoop & 21 years age i was suffering from this disease from last 16 years i tried all these medical treatments but all of them were wastage of time and money. Then one of my friend who is an YOGA instructor in new delhi advised me some useful “Yoga asans” and i am doing this from 2 years its an slow process but now i got the result from 7 months my hands are not sweating . Friends only YOGA can provide permanent cure for this. & Best of them are in India. Yoga is just free to do and suitable for all of us.
Will a battery from Dewalt tools work on the Ionotophoresis machine as well? It’s 18V and I can recharge it so I don’t have to constant buying new batteries. My seems to run out of juice after couple uses.
I’m about to try it myself, but botox is the best treatment and i’m not as bad as I used to be after having it. For some it cures it completely. As far as body odor goes I think diet plays a part.
I have severe body odor, will Ionotophoresis cure or at least help my situation?
