Nurse-led services
Unique in the South of England in offering private Phototherapy and Iontophoresis, subject to referral.
We offer a number of nurse-led services that include:
Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is an effective treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) that affects the hands or feet. It can also be used to treat armpits. This therapy passes mild electrical currents into the skin using simple tap water that helps block the sweat glands. The treatment is not painful, but the electric current can cause some mild, short-lived discomfort and skin irritation.
The process requires seven treatments spread over a month, and because of the nature of the spacing required between sessions, has to start on a Tuesday so as to avoid the weekend.
The first appointment needs to be about an hour and a half and thereafter treatments last 20 minutes for each body part.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy is the use of ultraviolet (UV) light to slow the rapid growth of new skin cells. Whilst it was first used in the treatment of psoriasis, a number of other skin conditions including eczema, vitiligo (where pigment cells are damaged resulting in white patches), skin-based lymphoma and some cases of generalised itchy skin can be treated this way if they haven't responded to other treatments.
