** Fig. 2. At the macro level (A), phonophoresis is thought to enhance drug penetration through the stratum comeum transcellularly (Iin a process tcrmed acoustic streaming, or through increased porę size (2), in a process termed ultrasonic srirring. At the micro level (B), an alteration in lipid bilayer lipids results in enhanccd drug diffusion through pores in the celi membranę.
