Characterization of human skin impedance after electrical treatment for transdermal drug delivery
A measurement technique based on Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) aimed at discriminating electrical effects of the electrical treatment from the electrical characteristics of drug delivery in human skin is presented. The technique turns out to be useful as the first and most crucial step in determining the drug delivered into the skin after electrical treatment. After recalling the background of electrical measurements principle and electrical modeling of biological tissues, the proposed measurement procedure is illustrated. Then, experimental tests of in vivo characterization of the procedure are reported, and the obtained results are discussed. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
