Introduction to Microneedle

Microneedle technology is an innovative drug delivery system (DDS) that uses multiple micron-sized needles to deliver drugs directly to specific depths in the skin to participate in microcirculation and exert pharmacological responses. These microneedles can be solid or hollow and can be made of a variety of materials such as silicon, metals, or biodegradable polymers. The length, size, and shape of the microneedles can be personalized to suit the needs of the treatment.

Microneedle technology offers multiple advantages as a DDS:

• Microneedles can penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and act directly on the subcutaneous tissue, bypassing the digestive process of orally administered drugs and improving their bioavailability.
• Microneedling enables localized treatment, reducing the need for systemic medications and lowering the risk of adverse reactions in patients.
• Microneedles can also achieve progressive drug delivery, by controlling the length of the microneedle and the rate of drug release to achieve a sustained and controlled therapeutic effect.
