1. A device for inserting a needle into tissue comprising: a body defined by a proximal end and a distal end, a carrier movable inside the body, a needle secured to the carrier, and a drive mechanism configured to drive the carrier toward the distal end, wherein the carrier includes a distal face from which the needle projects, the distal end of the body including a contact zone configured to contact with the tissue, the carrier being configured to reach a position relative to the body, after an activation of the drive mechanism, in which the distal face of the carrier is farther away than the contact zone of the distal end, as compared the proximal end of the body to insert the needle into the tissue, and the carrier being further configured to recoil from the position relative to the body during an administration of a solution via the needle.
