US 2026/0000582 A1 · IONTOPHORESIS AND SONOPHORESIS DUAL TREATMENT

Abstract

Systems and methods for application of a composition to the skin of a subject using electroporation, iontophoresis, and in at least some instances, sonophoresis to facilitate penetration of the skin by one or more compounds of the composition, such as one or more drugs. A system includes an applicator capsule that includes a rollerball configured for a rolling contact with the portion of skin of the subject and a plurality of electrodes and/or ultrasound transducers that are configured for a transmission of an electrical current and/or ultrasound through the portion of skin of the subject. A formula pod of the system is reversibly attachable to the body and is configured to hold and release the composition therefrom for delivery of the composition from the formula pod to the portion of skin.

A system for application of a composition to a portion of skin of a subject, the system comprising:

an applicator capsule, comprising:
a rollerball configured for a rolling contact with the portion of skin of the subject and a plurality of electrodes configured for a transmission of an electrical current through the portion of skin of the subject, a reservoir configured to hold and release the composition therefrom, and an ultrasound transducer configured to transmit ultrasound for sonophoresis;
and
a body, configured for reversible attachment of the applicator capsule thereto, and comprising a contact-less piston configured to expel the composition from the reservoir;
wherein one or more apertures of the applicator capsule fluidly connect the interior of the applicator capsule to an exterior of the applicator capsule for delivery of the composition from the reservoir to the portion of skin.
