Abstract
Provided are methods and devices for treating skin conditions using an electrical signal applied to the skin of a subject.
Claims17
A method of applying an electrical therapy on a skin of a subject, the method comprising:
- a. contacting a skin surface with a first electrode and a second electrode;
- b. generating a monophasic waveform having a plurality of electrical current pulses through the skin by (i) applying a first voltage to a first location of the skin surface via the first electrode and (ii) applying a second voltage to a second location of the skin surface via the second electrode;
- and
- c. vaporizing a biofilm,
- d. wherein the first voltage is different than the second voltage.

A method of applying an electrical therapy on a skin of a subject, the method comprising:
- a. contacting a skin surface with a first electrode and a second electrode;
- b. generating a biphasic waveform having at least one electrical current pulse through the skin by (i) applying a first voltage to a first location of the skin surface via the first electrode and (ii) applying a second voltage to a second location of the skin surface via the second electrode;
- and
- c. vaporizing a biofilm,
- d. wherein the first voltage is different than the second voltage, and
- e. wherein the at least one electrical current pulse is asymmetric with a positive phase and a negative phase.

A method of applying an electrical therapy on a skin of a subject, the method comprising:
- a. contacting a skin surface with a first electrode and a second electrode;
- b. generating a triphasic waveform having at least one electrical current pulse through the skin by (i) applying a first voltage to a first location of the skin surface via the first electrode and (ii) applying a second voltage to a second location of the skin surface via the second electrode;
- and
- c. vaporizing a biofilm,
- d. wherein the first voltage is different than the second voltage, and
- e. wherein the at least one electrical current pulse includes two positive phases and one negative phase.
