    TLDR Using hair follicles can improve skin drug delivery.
    The document discussed the growing significance of the hair follicle route in dermal and transdermal drug delivery, highlighting its potential to enhance drug penetration and storage. Hair follicles serve as efficient reservoirs, allowing for improved drug absorption and localized treatment. The research emphasized the advantages of targeting hair follicles, including bypassing the stratum corneum barrier and achieving sustained drug release, which could lead to better therapeutic outcomes for dermatological conditions. Future research was suggested to focus on optimizing these techniques.
