Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be more than a physical inconvenience—it often affects confidence, social interactions, and day-to-day comfort. At Derma Clinic in Kathmandu, we provide advanced, non-invasive hyperhidrosis treatment, including iontophoresis for sweaty hands, feet, and underarms.
Iontophoresis is now one of the most trusted options for palmar (hands), plantar (feet), and axillary (underarms) hyperhidrosis, especially for patients seeking a non-surgical solution.
This guide explains how iontophoresis works, what to expect during treatment at our Nepal-based clinic, and why many specialists consider it a gold-standard option for managing persistent excessive sweating.
What is Iontophoresis and How Does It Work?
Iontophoresis is a safe, FDA-cleared, non-invasive medical procedure that uses a mild electrical current to temporarily block the sweat glands in a targeted area.
The science is straightforward:
- The affected area (hands or feet) is placed in shallow trays filled with tap water.
- A controlled, low-level electrical current is passed through the water.
- This current interacts with ions in the water to create a temporary “plug” within the sweat ducts near the skin’s surface, reducing sweat output.
The procedure is not painful—most patients describe a slight tingling or prickling sensation that quickly becomes comfortable.
