Abstract
A method of transdermal drug delivery using drug formulations and other small molecules is described. The drug or other small molecule formulation is applied to the skin of a patient using a radio frequency device. The radio frequency device facilitates the ablation of the stratum corneum allowing the drug or other small molecule to pass to the underlying skin. The drug or small molecule can be contained in hyaluronic acid nanoparticles or suspended in a gel.
