Tips for Effective Iontophoresis Treatments
- Consistency is Key: Start with treatments every other day for the first week. Once sweating reduces, switch to a maintenance schedule (e.g., once every 2-3 weeks).
- Comfort First: Adjust the current settings to a comfortable level. A slight tingling sensation is normal but should not be painful.
