July 2004 in “Journal of Controlled Release” The study utilized on-line confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to visualize the diffusion of a lipophilic dye, Bodipy® FL C5, into the hair follicle of fresh, unfixed human scalp skin. This method allowed for real-time imaging every 30 minutes over 16 hours, revealing that the dye penetrated quickly into the hair follicle gap and stained the cuticle, primarily from the gap rather than the surrounding epidermis. The technique overcame limitations of increased scattering and absorption in deeper skin layers and provided a new tool for monitoring distribution profiles in skin layers, aiding in the optimization of drug formulations for local delivery to the pilosebaceous unit.
