Novel multichannel ionosonic devices are described for the treatment of
disorders of the skin and nails. In a preferred embodiment, the ionosonic
device includes a multichannel ionophoretic driver used in combination
with a multichannel dispersion electrode integrated with ultrasonic
elements on a single application electrode. The ionosonic device can be
configured in a variety of shapes for the treatment of skin disorders
through the intradermal delivery of one or more of a variety of
therapeutic and modulating agents. The devices described herein deliver
the therapeutic agents to the targeted diseased area, obviating the need
for systemic ingestion and increasing the therapeutic efficacy for a
variety of disorders of the skin and nails thereby sparing the individual
from the toxic side effects of the therapeutic agent taken systemically.
