PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for performing delivery of a drug such as a therapeutic agent into an opening such as a hair follicle, a pore and/or a sebaceous gland on or near a skin surface.SOLUTION: The above problem can be solved by using a device 200 for guiding a drug to the inside 280 of an opening under pressure via one or more nozzles or slits. Sebum existing in a hair follicle is partially and optionally heated and/or removed, for example, by using a low-pressure conduit 222 positioned on a lower surface 260 of the device, before introduction of a therapeutic agent.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2a |
