A transdermal delivery system in which a substance bearing a charge is propelled through the skin by a low electrical current. This method can be used
to drive a drug across the skin barrier, as is done with pilocarpine to stimulate sweating in the sweat chloride test for cystic fibrosis. Iontophoresis can also be used in the reverse direction to draw a molecule such as glucose through the skin.
The goal of Iontophoresis is the safe delivery of therapeutic concentration of an ionic drug solution to a limited area of the body; the rest of the body receives only minimal exposure to the drug. This is accomplished by applying low-voltage direct current through a pair of electrodes, on of which delivers the current , and the other of which acts as a return.
Itching or reddening of the skin under one or both iontophoresis pads is a routine, clinically recognized result of iontophoresis. This Iontophoresis unit has produced by increased blood flow and caused by the passage of electrical current through the skin.
Iontophoresis has wide applications in Dermatology, Ophthalmology, ENT, Allergic conditions even in Cardiac and Neurological situations, but its greatest advantage is in the transport of protein or peptide drugs which are very difficult to transport transdermally due to their hydrophilicity and large molecular size.
DERMATOLOGY
In hyperhidrosis, especially palmar and plantar - probably by obstructing the sweat ducts. No side effects when compared to anti- cholinergics.
Copper- iontophoresis for fungal infection and male contraception, zinc for ulcers, iodine for reduction of scar tissues, iron/titanium oxide for tattoo removal.
Histamine in allergy testing.
In the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis to increase sweating by pilocarpine and confirm diagnosis by the concentration of sodium and chloride in the sweat.
In scleroderma, for iontophoretic delivery of hyaluronidase.
THEPOWEROFIONTOPHORESIS
Although traditional means of iontophoresis have been restricted to that of galvanic devices, recent studies indicate modern microcurrent devices using alternating current to be far superior and include cumulative results of improved ATP levels, collagen and elastin production and blood circulation. Ionization of good quality collagen and elastin can smooth and firm crows feet substantially in just one treatment; while penetration of vital active ingredients of other water (read more) soluble products can be profoundly effective in comparison to a "non-electrical" application.
Much of the immediate results realized via iontophoresis are that of a filling effect. For example, one of the first signs of aging is usually the loss of natural collagen and elastin in the skin. By ionizing collagen and elastin into the skin, you immediately fill the void; similar to what is achieved through a collagen injection however on a much smaller level. This collagen and elastin temporarily binds with the natural human collagen and elastin and therefore remains in the tissue more than temporarily. The immediate result is a firmer, smoother skin with a greatly diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

HOWITWORKS ?
The micro-current causes "microscopic holes" in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin)
The current drives the active ingredients to the specific area of the skin were the vital components of youthfulness are cooked.
The pad's biological water (read more) (a fluid that is similar to the water in the skin "but does not move freely like regular water"*) plumps up lines and wrinkles.
Collagen Serum is the first and the purest filtration of Natural Collagen Platinum with a lower amount of water (read more), Retinol (biologically active vitamin A) andAlpha Tocopherol (bio active vitamin E).
Only a few years ago, it was not recommended tomix Natural Collagen with vitamins but thanks to the new high biotechnology it is possible to lock vitamins in micro-capsules which are released and activated on the surface of the skin. Collagen Serum contains less water (read more) and more Collagen than our leading product Natural Collagen Platinum and is designed to be applied after iontophoresis or right after peeling. Collagen Serum is designed for 5 applications during 2 weeks period.
Eye's Elixir is the latest revelation in cosmetics and includes the best and the most expensive ingredients on the market: Skin Tightener, Rice Bran Oil, ReguTM Age, MatrixylTM 3000, Borage Oil,Collagen, Cornflower.
Skin Tightener ST - is perfect for immediate tightening, lifting and firming effect. It helps promotes firmness and elasticity.
It is a marine and plant derived film forming agent and a non-animal alternative to serum album; enhances skin smoothness and radiance. Skin Tightener ST is based on the association of marine polymannuronate (derived from algae) and prolamines.
Rice bran oil is high in fatty acids and rich in unsaponifiables. Rice bran oil is a natural anti-oxidant and also offers a small degree of sunscreen protection. Rice bran oil is moisturizing and is a good choice for inclusion in formulations intended for mature, delicate or sensitive skin. Rice bran oil is especially useful in baby, face and hair formulations.
ReguTM Age is an important new skin treatment active that reduces dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. It improves micro-circulation, strengthens native collagen and elastin matrix, and reduces the presence of free radicals to delay the visible signs of premature cell aging.
MatrixylTM 3000 anti-wrinkling and lifting effect. 45% less deep wrinkles after 2 months! Matrixyl(tm) 3000 contains twp matrikines(tm), Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR which act in synergy to restore and maintain skin's youthful appearance. These matrikines which are messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair. It is used in formulations for: antiaging, facelifting and wrinkle treatment products.
Borage Oil is light in color and fragrance. It contains gamma linolenic acid, a fatty acid used in cosmetics as an emollient, antioxidant, and cell regulator. It is used to promote healthy skin growth and as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Cornflower is used as a remedy for tired eyes.
