What does iontophoresis help achieve in skincare?

Iontophoresis is a technique that uses electrical currents to enhance the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. By harnessing electricity, this method facilitates the transfer of charged particles, allowing for deeper and more effective absorption of skincare products compared to traditional application methods. This increased penetration can lead to better results from the skincare ingredients being used, making iontophoresis particularly effective for treatments focused on enhancing product efficacy.

In contrast, while exfoliation is essential for removing dead skin and can be achieved through various methods, it is not the primary goal of iontophoresis. Reduction of puffiness and hydration of the skin are also important benefits in skincare, but those are typically achieved through different techniques and treatments rather than through the specific mechanism of iontophoresis.
