Did you mean Microneedle Patch?

Glossary Microneedle Patch

small adhesive patch with tiny needles for direct skin treatment

A Microneedle Patch is a small, adhesive patch embedded with tiny needles that painlessly penetrate the outer layer of the skin to deliver medications, nutrients, or other therapeutic agents directly into the underlying tissues. This method enhances the absorption and effectiveness of treatments, such as those for hair loss or skin rejuvenation, by bypassing the skin's barrier.
