The lower housing portion may define a bottom surface including skin attachment means for releasably attaching the lower housing portion to skin of a user. The upper housing portion may at least partially surround a central region of the device. The device may also include a microneedle assembly and a reservoir disposed within the central region. The reservoir may be in fluid communication with the microneedle assembly. Additionally, the device may include a pushing element disposed above the microneedle assembly within the central region. The pushing element may be configured to provide a continuous bilateral force having a downward component transmitted through the microneedle assembly and an upward component transmitted through the skin attachment means.
