Adapters, Voltages, and Plug Types: What You Need to Know

Outlets and Plug Shapes

One of the first challenges of using your iontophoresis device abroad is dealing with different plug shapes. Key Tips:
  • Research the plug type used in your destination. For example, the U.S. uses Type A/B plugs, while Europe commonly uses Type C/E/F.
  • A universal adapter that covers multiple plug types is a convenient investment.

Voltages and Frequencies

Even if your adapter fits, the voltage in your destination may differ from your iontophoresis device’s requirements. This is important, as incorrect voltage can damage your device.

Voltage Guide:
  • 110V–130V: Used in countries like the U.S., Japan, and parts of South America.
  • 220V–240V: Common in most of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Check your iontophoresis device’s manual or label to confirm its voltage compatibility.
