How IontoPatch™ Works

IontoPatch™ uses a low electric current to deliver medication through the skin, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands to underlying tissue.

Medication is applied to an electrode pad with a similar charge while saline is placed on the opposite pad. When the patch is applied to the skin, the circuit is complete and drug delivery begins.

Using the principle of “like repels like,” the drug is now repelled away from the similarly charged electrode pad and into the skin.

The low current and longer-duration delivery allow more of the applied drug to penetrate the skin, for that drug to remain localized to the treatment area, and to deliver effective treatment with a low incidence of side effects.

IontoPatch™ is precisely designed to deliver a specific amount of medication over a prescribed delivery time. Applying IontoPatch™ is quick and pain-free and when drug delivery is complete, IontoPatch™ stops working and can be removed.
