Abstract: A built-in non-verbal compact instructional device integratable to an applicator having a microdevice for painlessly perforating skin and optionally an active agent for application to the perforated area. The microdevice can include microneedles, microneedle arrays, microblades, microblade arrays, microknives, microknife arrays, and Functional MicroArrays (FMAs). The active agent can be stored in a first chamber. The microdevice can perforate stratum corneum without significant pain or discomfort to a patient. The active agent is applied to the perforated area. The device verifies compliance with predetermined methods of use, such as a light to indicate application with the recommended amount of force for perforating skin. The applicator can provide enhanced delivery of an active agent, with minimal discomfort, for therapeutic or cosmetic treatment, such as topical treatment for acne, or other skin disorders, wrinkles, blemishes, etc.
