Iontophoresis is a method of introducing active substances into the skin by electric field strength.
For the iontophoresis treatment we can only use special substances - chemicals that disintegrate into ions. The conductive strength is the repulsion between the electrode and the load of ionized particles. The ions introduced into the skin by iontophoresis gather at the border of the epidermis and dermis, from where they are discharged through the deeper superficial vascular network and through the mouth of the sweat glands.
Iontophoresis causes considerable intensification of the effects of treatments, thanks to faster and deeper penetration of active ingredients through the epidermis and the beneficial effects on tissue pole of applied current.
WHAT IS IONTOPHORESIS?
Ionophoresis treatment involves the use of a device that generates direct current and two electrodes (active and passive). A moist pad saturated with an appropriate active substance is applied to the treatment area, which is selected based on the needs and skin problems of the patient. The substances are introduced in the form of ions, which under the influence of the electric field move, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate deep into the tissues. The current itself also plays a significant role, as it generates a lot of heat in the tissues, improving circulation, providing better nourishment to the skin, and having anti-inflammatory effects. During the treatment, the patient may feel tingling and slight pricking sensations.
