Microneedles (MNs) are medical instruments for the procedure of microneedling that are most commonly used in drug delivery, disease diagnosis, and collagen induction therapy. They are known for being minimally invasive and precise. MNs consist of arrays of micro-sized needles ranging from 25μm-2000μm. The concept of microneedling was first established in the 1970s, but its popularity began to rise as they have been found to be effective in drug delivery and possess cosmetic benefits.
Since the 2000s, there has been discoveries on new fabrication materials of MNs, like silicon, metal and polymer. Alongside with materials, a variety of MNs types (solid, hollow, coated, hydrogel) has also been developed to possess different functions. The research on MNs has led to improvements in different aspects, including instruments and techniques, yet adverse events are possible in MNs users.
a microneedles (MNs) device can be as short as 25μm or even 2000μm in length depending on their types. There are mainly five types of microneedles (MNs):...
