Embodiments of a cutaneous treatment apparatus generally include a heater and a treatment delivery component, including a treatment portion. The treatment portion includes a treatment formulation, including a therapeutic compound, and a treatment surface configured to contact the cutaneous region. The heater component is removably couplable with the treatment delivery component and is configured to transfer heat to the treatment portion. Upon heating, the therapeutic compound is configured to release from the treatment portion through the treatment surface towards the cutaneous region.
