July 2020 in “CRS 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting” This study found that the newly developed microarray patches for intradermal delivery of finasteride showed high drug content and significantly improved skin deposition compared to existing methods.
January 2021 in “Advanced Biomedical Engineering” This study found that hair implant needles with longer point lengths and smaller bevel angles required less total work for insertion, which corresponded with surgeons' perceptions of insertion force differences.
The researchers developed a new follicular unit extraction system with adjustable needle lengths and precise rotation speed, which they report as being superior to existing systems for non-incisional hair transplants.
