What is the main purpose of iontophoresis?

The primary purpose of iontophoresis is to introduce water-soluble products into the skin. This technique utilizes a low-level electrical current to facilitate the penetration of these products. The electrical current alters the permeability of the skin, allowing for effective delivery of vitamins, medications, or other beneficial substances into deeper layers of the dermis. This is particularly useful in skincare treatments where enhancing hydration, nutrient absorption, or addressing specific skin conditions is desired.

The process not only aids in delivering these products but also minimizes the discomfort that might occur with needle injections, making it a popular choice in both aesthetic and therapeutic applications in skincare.
