Transdermal drug delivery provides a mode of drug administration that is patient-compliant. Using ultrasound to the skin increases its permeability (sonophoresis) and creates holes that enable different substances to be delivered to and through the skin. "Transdermal Protein Delivery," examined some of today's most popular technologies. It also includes the generation of ultrasound and sonophoresis mechanism with special emphasis on the role of cavitation (both inside and outside the skin), thermal effects, convective transport, and mechanical effects. Sonophoresis is a localized, non-invasive, convenient and fast technique of providing drugs with low molecular weight and macromolecules to the skin. Transdermal biology delivery, as well as standard drugs, is becoming increasingly popular as the method provides countless benefits. It decreases pain, biohazardous waste and infection danger. Mostly, needle-free drug delivery generally increases patient compliance, sonophoresis is being investigated as a way of drawing compounds such as glucose out of the skin.
