CRC Press

Microneedles provide an artificial pathway across the skin barrier for medical and cosmetic applications. This technology has seen a significant increase in popularity over the past years; as an example, the use of multiple small needles mounted on a roller to pierce the skin, prompting it to stimulate collagen production, has undergone a resurgence of interest as an adjunctive procedure for a number of skin disorders. This monograph draws together what is known about how to integrate microneedle technology into clinical dermatologic practice.\n > List of Contributors. 1.Microneedles and Trandermal Transport. 2.Skin perforation and solid microneedles. 3.Dissolvable and Coated Microneedle Arrays: Design, Fabrication, Materials, and Administration Methods. 4.Hollow Microneedles. 5.Microneedles vs other transdermal technologies. 6.Combination of Microneedles with other methods. 7.Medical Applications of Microneedles. 8.Therapeutic drug and biomolecule monitoring potential for microner
