    GlossaryLaser-Assisted Drug Delivery (LADD)

    uses laser energy to enhance drug absorption through skin

    Laser-Assisted Drug Delivery (LADD) is a technique that uses laser energy to create microchannels in the skin, enhancing the penetration and absorption of therapeutic drugs. This method can improve the efficacy of treatments for various conditions, including skin disorders and hair loss, by allowing medications to reach deeper layers of tissue more effectively than traditional topical applications.
