Opis

Microneedles provide an artificial pathway across skin barrier for medical and cosmetic applications. The use of multiple small needles mounted on a roller to pierce the skin to stimulate collagen production has undergone a new interest. This monograph draws on how to integrate microneedle technology into clinical dermatologic practice.
