What is Electroporation?
Electroporation (also known as electropermeabilization) is a treatment method that uses electrical currents to create micropores in the cell membranes, enabling effective beauty ingredients to be delivered deep into the dermis. Through these micropores, active ingredients can pass through the basal layer of the epidermis and even reach the deeper dermis. This method delivers the ingredients directly to the deeper skin layers, similar to injections, providing more noticeable results. The micropores typically remain open only during the electrical pulse and heal immediately after treatment, leaving no scars on the skin.
The penetration efficacy of electroporation is approximately 20 times that of iontophoresis. It is considered a top-tier delivery technology capable of significantly addressing various skin issues.

Electroporation Treatments at Our Clinic
Customized Beauty Ingredient Formulations
At our clinic, you can choose from a wide range of ingredients tailored to your skin’s needs. By using only the necessary formulations, we efficiently help improve and refine your skin.
We use high-quality Japanese-made medications from NIOMA, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and efficient penetration.
Cooling Mode for Effective Ingredient Delivery
Our equipment uses the E-COOL feature, offering both thermal and cooling modes during treatment. The heating mode gently relaxes your skin, similar to a hot towel, and the cooling mode tightens the skin and ensures effective delivery of active ingredients.
When combined with treatments like exfoliation, Lumecca, or SylfirmX, it calms the skin, prevents pigmentation, and reduces recovery time.
Difference Between Electroporation and Iontophoresis
Iontophoresis is another method that uses electrical power to deliver active ingredients. By utilizing positively and negatively charged water-soluble agents, it employs electrical currents generated by an iontophoresis device to penetrate the skin. Iontophoresis is often compared to electroporation. While the two share many similarities, there are still some key differences between them.
| Type | Electroporation | Iontophoresis |
|---|---|---|
| Deliverable Ingredients | Can deliver a wide variety of ingredients Including large molecules like hyaluronic acid and collagen |
Limited to small, water-soluble molecules |
| Penetration Power | 20 times more effective than iontophoresis | Better than standard skincare products |
| Skin Irritation | Minimal irritation, stable pH levels | During the process of ionizing the beauty ingredients, the pH may change, which can sometimes cause irritation |
