Claim:
1. An applicator, comprising: a housing having at least one opening and a projection; an actuating member having an external surface for application of a force and being movable between a first position and a second position; a push member having a proximal end including a projection that can be retained by the housing projection; an energy-storing element having a first configuration and second configuration, the energy-storing element being positioned between a lower surface of the housing and a proximal end of the push member; and a skin-contacting member positioned in contact with a distal end of the housing; wherein application of force to the actuating member moves the actuating member from the first position to the second position, thereby to effect release of the push member and corresponding release of the energy-storing element from the first configuration to the second configuration.
