Abstract
The invention relates generally to transdermal and transmembrane delivery of biologically active substances through the skin, sub-dermal tissues, blood vessels and cellular membranes without causing damage to the cellular surface, tissue or membrane. The invention provides compositions and methods for enhanced transdermal and transmembrane delivery of biologically active substances using pulsed incoherent light. The invention further provides a device for the application of the pulsed incoherent light to cellular surfaces and membranes using those compositions and methods.
Claims64
A method of photokinetic transdermal delivery of a biologically active substance comprising:
- preparing a solution comprising the biologically active substance and a solvent;
- applying said solution to a cellular surface on the skin;
- illuminating said solution on said cellular surface with a pulsed incoherent light having a selected wavelength, pulse rate and duty cycle;
- and
- allowing said solution to permeate said cellular surface.
