The Lifetime Ownership Cost of an Iontophoresis Device

Learn why The Fischer iontophoresis device is the cost-effective, long-lasting solution for managing excessive sweating without hidden maintenance costs.
Hyperhidrosis, a condition causing excessive sweating, affects nearly 5% of people in the U.S., disrupting daily life and causing embarrassment. Fortunately, iontophoresis with The Fischer offers a non-invasive, FDA-cleared solution to control sweating effectively. When evaluating treatment options, it’s important to consider the lifetime cost of an iontophoresis device alongside its benefits.

Additional Costs: Metal-Based Devices

The initial purchase price of iontophoresis devices can range widely depending on the brand and features. Metal-based iontophoresis devices may seem affordable initially, but they come with long-term expenses.

Frequent Electrode Replacement

Metal electrodes, commonly made of aluminum or stainless steel, are prone to corrosion. Manufacturers recommend replacing them every 3–6 months to maintain effectiveness. Over a decade, this can add up to hundreds of dollars in replacement costs​​.

Ongoing Accessory Costs

Metal-based devices often require additional items such as towels, batteries, and cleaning supplies. These small but frequent purchases increase the lifetime cost of an iontophoresis device​​.
