Abstract
A system for enhancing and improving the transcutaneous or transdermal delivery of topical chemicals or drugs. A disposable container contains a substantially sterile unit dose of an active agent adapted for a single use in a medical treatment. The unit dose is formulated to enhance transport of the active agent through mammalian skin when the active agent is applied to the skin and the skin is exposed to light and/or ultrasound defined by at least one specific parameter.
Claims3
A method for at least one of stimulating cellular activity and inhibiting cellular activity, comprising:
- exposing at least one cell to at least one of light and ultrasound, and
- applying an active agent to the at least one cell.
A disposable container adapted for a single use and containing a substantially sterile, unit dose of an active agent for use in a single medical treatment, the unit dose being specifically formulated to optimize a specific medical effect when used in combination with at least one of a specific ultrasound parameter and one of a specific light parameter.
A disposable container containing a substantially sterile unit dose of an active agent adapted for a single use in a medical treatment, the unit dose being formulated to enhance or maximize transport of the active agent through mammalian skin when the active agent is applied to the skin and the skin is exposed to at least one of ultrasound defined by at least one specific ultrasound parameter and light defined by at least one specific light parameter.
