TLDR Microneedles offer a painless way to deliver drugs effectively but need more research before they can be widely used.
The document provided an overview of microneedles as a novel transdermal drug delivery method that improved medication distribution by creating micron-sized channels in the skin, allowing drugs to bypass the stratum corneum barrier and enter systemic circulation. This technique was applied in various fields, including vaccine and insulin delivery, and cosmetics. Microneedles offered a painless alternative to traditional hypodermic needles, enhancing patient compliance and therapeutic effectiveness. Despite their potential, further research was needed to address challenges before widespread market adoption.
