In an effort to help hyperhidrosis sufferers, STD Pharmaceutical recently tested a system for the treatment of underarms using tap water iontophoresis. The current was delivered to the underarms using axillae electrodes sleeved in moistened sponge pockets. Four medical centres treated 28 patients using the sleeved axillae electrodes. Of the 24 patients who completed the treatment 23 had a good result (data on file).

The results of the study showed tap water iontophoresis for the treatment of hyperhidrosis of the underarms to be a very good second line treatment for patients where antiperspirants haven’t worked.

We are pleased to announce that the axillae electrodes are now available for purchase for use with our range of tap water iontophoresis machines. Prices for the electrodes and sponge pockets are listed under accessories.

We also have underarm clothing protectors available through the STD web site.

For further information on the axillae electrodes or our underarm clothing protectors please contact the customer service team at orders@stdpharm.co.uk
