<p>Apparatus ( 20 ) for application to skin of a subject is provided. The apparatus includes a board ( 30 ) having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface including a plurality of ablation electrodes ( 41 ), which are adapted to be applied to the skin, and the second surface including one or more contact pads ( 32 ), each one of the contact pads electrically coupled to at least one of the ablation electrodes. The apparatus further includes one or more driving electrodes ( 28 ). An energy applicator (e.g., motor 22 ), coupled to the driving electrodes, is adapted to pass the driving electrodes over the contact pads. A power source (e.g., power unit 102 ) is adapted to drive a current from the driving electrodes, to the contact pads, and to the ablation electrodes. The current is capable of ablating at least a portion of stratum corneum of the skin in a vicinity of the ablation electrodes, so as to facilitate transdermal transport of a substance.</p> |
