Excessive Sweating
Dr. Liew Hui Min
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis can be debilitating, affecting one’s social life. Depending on the sites involved and the severity, our dermatologist can advise you on the treatment that suits you best.
More Information on Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is one of the method used for treatment of hyperhidrosis on the hands and feet, available at The Skin Drs.
During treatment, a small current is passed through affected areas of the skin using an iontophoresis machine. The treated sites will experience a mild tingling sensation which will soon subside after the treatment ends.
The use of direct current (GS) and pulsed direct current (PS) in tap water iontophoresis therapy is an internationally established and scientifically acknowledged treatment procedure, which has been known for years. In scientific studies, the therapy with pulsed direct current is rated as the optimum therapy method, especially for very sensitive patients, children and young people.
Recommended treatment duration is roughly 30 mins each session and a trial of twice weekly treatment for 2 consecutive weeks will allow you to see improvement on your sweaty hands and feet. If it works, Dr. Liew will recommend this treatment at the comfort of your own home. The Skin Drs. provides the trial sessions and you can also purchase this iontophoresis machine at the clinic.
