Cleanse the application area

To ensure proper application of the Iontophoresis procedure, it's essential to cleanse the intended treatment area. This task eliminates any dirt, oil, or other substances that may interfere with the treatment's effectiveness. Additionally, it reduces the risk of contamination and promotes better adherence of the electrode to the skin. Begin by identifying the application area as per the treatment plan. Cleanse the area using a gentle soap or cleansing agent, wiping it in a circular motion with a clean, soft cloth or sponge. Rinse the area thoroughly with water and pat dry. Be cautious around sensitive skin areas to avoid irritation or injury. Ensure the skin is completely dry before proceeding with the procedure.
