Drionic Therapy for Hyperhidrosis Iontophoresis)
• Iontophoresis (the application of low-level electric current to the surface
of the skin) results in reduced production of sweat at that site. A batteryoperated device conforming to the shape of the treated area, using tap
water–wetted pads in contact with the skin of the palms, soles, or axillae,
is available for patient self-use. Four to 15 treatments 20 minutes long inhibit sweat for up to 6 weeks; 95% of patients showed improvement in
2 weeks, and 86% remained improved at 6 weeks. Minor retreatment every 6 weeks is needed to sustain inhibition. Biopsies reveal hyperkeratotic
plugs within sweat ducts following treatment.
• Three devices (Drionic Hands, Drionic Axillae, Drionic Feet) are available
at $125.00 per pair. They may be ordered by the patient from General
Medical Co, Dept DM-8, 1935 Armacost Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90025.
