Iontophoresis
This procedure uses electricity to temporarily turn off the sweat glands in the hands or feet.
They are immersed in water through which a gentle electrical current is passed.
The current is gradually increased, and you will feel a slight tingling sensation.
The effectiveness of this treatment will vary from person to person, and repeated maintenance treatments may be required at regular intervals.
