    GlossaryFollicular Route

    pathway for substances to penetrate skin via hair follicles

    The follicular route refers to the pathway through which substances can penetrate the skin via hair follicles. This route is significant in dermatology and pharmacology because hair follicles provide a direct channel to deeper layers of the skin, allowing for more efficient delivery of topical medications and treatments.
