Iontophoresis drives anesthetic through the skin by using an electric current.

Most are based on a technology called iontophoresis, which involves using a low electric current to propel drugs through the skin.

The procedure, known as iontophoresis, is accomplished electrically without piercing the skin.

Iontophoresis was originally described in the 1950s, although the exact mode of action remains elusive.

Iontophoresis involves the application of current to the tracer solution within an electrode.

Then transdermal iontophoresis of histamine was performed and tested with various stimuli.

Sonophoresis is also used without drug delivery in physical therapy, and as a complementary modality for iontophoresis.

Several companies are exploring iontophoresis, or electrotransport, an active system in which a small electrical current is used to propel drugs through the skin.

But antiperspirants can irritate the skin, and iontophoresis treatments can take up to a half-hour each.
