Zusammenfassung:Electrical current can be delivered to the skin to treat hyperhidrosis or other conditions using wearable and non-wearable devices. Wearable devices to deliver electrical current can include an inner assembly that carries one or more electrodes and an outer assembly that can be worn over the inner assembly. Contact between electrodes and the user's skin can be promoted using suction, support components, or filler materials. Non-wearable devices can be grasped by a user or otherwise placed into contact with a treatment site for delivery of electrical current to the user's skin. Electrode lay-out for wearable and non-wearable devices can be optimized for current density distribution across the electrode.
