I have a problem of hyperhidrosis in hands and feet and I used iontophoresis for 2 years and 3 months until I discovered it was causing me discomfort down there. I believed that the discomfort was because an infection (UTI) and I went to see the urologist, he did find an infection and gave treatment of antibiotics and stuff. When I was cured, I performed the iontophoresis therapy again and then was when I confirmed that this was causing me the discomfort. Now I’m stopping of using iontophoresis ever again and I’m very confused because everywhere is believed that the iontophoresis is safe. But not for me!

I am not sure if iontophoresis is the reason for the discomfort you were telling. But it really has side effects. Personally I experience fatigue, dizziness and dry mouth following iontophoresis treatment.

Hi,

I had undergone iontophoresis at home and I have experienced the following side effects after my treatment:

1. tingling or burning sensation on the treated area
2. redness after treatment
3. erythema (redness, short-term vesicles or blisters)
4. slight burns due to prolonged, direct contact with the electrode

SO far I would say that these are all temporary.
