What is iontophoresis?
Iontophoresis is nothing other than a therapeutic method which consists in the transport of ions into the body through the skin (or mucosa in medicine) via a device emitting galvanic direct current.
When is iontophoresis used?
At Ambasada Urody in Warsaw, iontophoresis is used to increase the absorption of active substances contained in cosmeceuticals deep into the skin. It is absolutely effective and can increase the penetration of vitamins, growth factors, and other ingredients up to 40-fold compared to standard cream use.
This method is often used by connecting electrodes to specialized masks rich in ingredients dissociated into ions.
Treatments strictly adapted for the application of iontophoresis at Ambasada Urody include, for example, Environ treatments, which provide great results thanks to the combination of the highest quality cosmetics rich in active ingredients and the use of iontophoresis. The multitude of possibilities offered by the wide range of Environ cosmetics available at Ambasada Urody means that these treatments can be very individually tailored to the needs of the patient's skin.
Does iontophoresis hurt?
Patients of Ambasada Urody in Warsaw usually rate iontophoresis treatments as pleasant. Many people mention a specific, albeit pleasant, tingling sensation caused by the current during a treatment with an iontophoresis mask. It can absolutely be said that iontophoresis does not hurt.
What are the effects of iontophoresis treatments?
First and foremost, the use of this technology increases the effectiveness of the cosmetics used. However, iontophoresis itself also has therapeutic effects, which has led to its use in physical therapy as well. In aesthetic terms, iontophoresis has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects. It stimulates sagging muscles and skin to work intensely, which firms the skin and improves the facial oval. It supports transport in blood and lymphatic vessels, improving the functioning of tissues. It has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, which is particularly important for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
