Scalp Microinfusion: A Novel Drug Delivery Technique for Hair Loss Treatment

Scalp microinfusion is a promising novel drug delivery technique for hair loss treatment. We discuss the MMP (R) technique and review its possible use in alopecias. MMP (R) technique provides a small amount of drugs delivered homogeneously into the skin combined with micro-needling and can, therefore, provide optimal delivery. However, literature on this technique is limited to a few case reports despite its wide use in some countries. Further studies are needed to standardize protocols. (c) 2023 S. Karger AG, Basel

Automated summary

Scalp microinfusion is a promising technique for delivering drugs for hair loss treatment. The MMP(R) technique, combining micro-needling and drug delivery, provides optimal delivery of drugs into the skin. However, there is limited literature on this technique, despite its wide use in some countries. Further studies are needed to establish standardized protocols.
