Abstract
Dermal infusion devices and methods are provided. The device is configured to direct two different frequencies of oscillating motion (e.g., sonic and ultrasonic) towards the skin of a subject. The combination of the two different frequencies results in improved dermal infusion capabilities and can be used, for example, to effect transdermal delivery of a topical formulation.

10. A method of simultaneously delivering a sonic motion and an ultrasonic motion to a location, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) directing the sonic motion at the location from a first source of oscillatory motion, having an oscillation rate of less than 20 kHz; and (b) directing the ultrasonic motion at the location from a second source of oscillatory motion, having an oscillation rate of 20 kHz or greater. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
