Did you mean Topical Delivery?

GlossaryTopical Delivery

Topical delivery refers to the application of substances directly onto the skin or scalp to achieve localized effects, particularly in the treatment of hair loss. This method is relevant in hair biology as it allows for the direct absorption of active ingredients, such as minoxidil or finasteride, into the hair follicles, potentially enhancing their efficacy in promoting hair growth or preventing further loss. Key distinguishing characteristics of topical delivery include its non-invasive nature, the ability to target specific areas, and the formulation of products to enhance skin penetration and absorption.
