research FEA-guided co-design of bubble microneedles: controlled tip separation for rapid transdermal and sublingual delivery
The study introduces a finite element analysis (FEA)-guided co-design framework for developing separable bubble microneedles (BMNs) that optimize geometry and cavity parameters for controlled tip separation and robust insertion. The research demonstrated that minoxidil sulfate-loaded BMNs (MXS-BMNs) and insulin-loaded BMNs (INS-BMNs) achieved effective transdermal and sublingual delivery, respectively. MXS-BMNs showed a sevenfold increase in minoxidil permeation compared to topical gel and accelerated hair regrowth in mice, while INS-BMNs provided rapid glucose reduction in diabetic rats. The FEA predictions closely matched experimental results, confirming the framework's efficacy in reducing empirical iteration and expediting BMN development for rapid drug delivery.

The study introduces a finite element analysis (FEA)-guided co-design framework for developing separable bubble microneedles (BMNs) that optimize geometry and cavity parameters for controlled tip separation and robust insertion. The research demonstrated that minoxidil sulfate-loaded BMNs (MXS-BMNs) and insulin-loaded BMNs (INS-BMNs) achieved effective transdermal and sublingual delivery, respectively, with separation forces closely matching FEA predictions and axial strengths surpassing skin and mucosa penetration thresholds. In vivo tests showed MXS-BMNs significantly enhanced hair regrowth in mice, while INS-BMNs effectively lowered glucose levels in diabetic rats. This approach reduces empirical iteration, facilitating the rapid development of efficient microneedle systems for drug delivery.

5 / 85 resultscommunity Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community 1st time microneedling, Dr. Pen, 16 pins, 0.8 mm. Did I went too hard or is it OK?
A user tried microneedling for hair loss with a Dr. Pen at 0.8 mm and experienced bleeding, questioning if the intensity was too much. Others suggested a less aggressive approach, and one mentioned finasteride as a helpful treatment without side effects.
community Just got a dermastamp, and it is FAR superior to a roller. I’ll never go back.
A user switched from a 1.5 mm derma roller to an adjustable dermastamp for microneedling to treat hair loss and found it less painful and more effective. Some users prefer different depths and tools like the Dr.Pen for microneedling, while others debate the necessity of depth and tool type.
community I think this is my stop, gentlepeople. So long and thanks for all the data 👋
A user shared their successful experience with hair regrowth and transitioning from male to female using minoxidil, finasteride, Nutrafol, microneedling, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). They expressed gratitude for the results and encouraged others to explore treatments that align with their personal goals.
community This is my progress so far, what we thinking?
The user has been using finasteride for 6.5 months, topical minoxidil for about 4 months, and occasionally microneedling to treat hair loss, and is asking if the progress shown is appropriate for that time. Commenters are congratulating the user on the visible improvement.
