Microneedle patch based on dissolving, detachable microneedle technology for improved skin quality – Part 1: <i>ex vivo</i> safety evaluation

Abstract

Using ex vivo tracer staining studies, we have shown that the evaluated microneedle applicator is capable of penetrating the skin epidermis and delivering substances embedded in the needle polymer matrix. In addition, the tested product was shown to be safe, which provides a broad perspective for delivering cosmetic and pharmaceutic agents.
