Iontophoresis is a process of transdermal drug delivery that uses a voltage gradient applied to the skin to transport molecules across the stratum corneum by electrophoresis and electroosmosis, with the electric field also able to increase skin permeability. It has experimental, therapeutic, and diagnostic applications.
