Transdermal delivery (through the skin via a patch, glove, mask or sock) of aesthetic treatments has long been considered advantageous over other methods, such as oral, injection or intravenous drug delivery. Reported benefits include the ability of molecules to safely penetrate to significant depths in tissue, reduced trauma compared to more traditional techniques and increased patient comfort and convenience.
Within the skincare segment, transdermal technology can be particularly effective for intensive hydration, an application that is currently underserved by topical preparations.
Formulations can be transported through the epidermis via three pathways. First is the intercellular pathway, which penetrates the lipid matrix that inhabits the intercellular spaces of keratinocytes. Second is the transcellular pathway through the keratinocytes and third is the transappendageal pathway, which utilizes hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands.
Even though transdermal cosmetics offer so many advantages, their applications are still very rare in the north american market, where creams and lotions predominate the offer landscape.
