Doctors’ responses
Your condition is most consistent with primary palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis (excess sweating of palms and soles). Iontophoresis is a well-established, safe, and effective treatment for this condition and is often recommended when topical solutions do not work.
Iontophoresis does not cure hyperhidrosis permanently, but it significantly reduces sweating in most people (about 70–90%) with regular use. For many patients, sweating decreases from excessive to mild or manageable levels.
Will it work for you?
It works best for palms and feet
It is especially helpful in young patients with primary hyperhidrosis
While results are not guaranteed, most users see clear improvement within 2–4 weeks
How it is used (general idea):
Hands or feet are placed in shallow trays of tap water
A low electrical current is passed for 15–20 minutes
Done 3–4 times per week initially
Once sweating is controlled, maintenance sessions are done every 1–2 weeks
Important points:
Mild tingling or dryness is common
Not suitable if you have pacemakers, metal implants, epilepsy, or are pregnant
Consistency is key—stopping treatment usually leads to return of sweating
Overall conclusion:
Iontophoresis is one of the best non-invasive options for palm and foot sweating. It may not stop sweating completely, but it is very likely to reduce it significantly and improve daily comfort and confidence.
Hello dear Yes you are right Iontophoresis is a good option for excess sweating from hands and feet It uses minor electric current with tap water producing minor impact I suggest you to please get it done as it a better preventive measures as compared to medication Regards
Hello,
Iontophoresis can help reduce excessive sweating of the palms and feet for many people, but it doesn’t work for sure in every case.
It often reduces sweating, and some see significant improvement.
You typically use a home iontophoresis machine several times a week, placing your hands/feet in water with a mild electrical current.
Results usually take a few weeks and need ongoing maintenance treatments.
It’s generally safe when used as directed, but talk to your dermatologist before starting.
I trust this helps Thank you
