A treatment method for delivery of lidocaine or other type of skin treatment drug to a patient's skin, includes applying electrical bursts of pulses onto the patient's skin by way of electrodes provided on a head of a probe that i s placed against the patient's skin. The treatment method also includes applyi ng mechanical vibrations of a same frequency and phase as the bursts of pulses onto the patient's skin by way of a vibrating element provided on the head o f the probe. At the same time as the above two steps are being performed, the treatment method includes providing, between the electrodes and the patient' s skin, at least two solution-absorbing pads electrically insulated from each other and each one of the two solution-absorbing pads being in electrical contact with one or more of the electrodes on the head of the probe. At leas t one of the two solution-absorbing pads is soaked with lidocaine or other typ e of skin treatment drug and the other of the two solution-absorbing pads is soaked with a conductive fisiological solution. The pads may be gauze pads o r hydrogel pads. |
