Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticles--an efficient carrier for drug delivery into the hair follicles.

TL;DR: It was found that the nanoparticles penetrate much deeper into the hair follicles than the dye in the non-particle form, if a massage had been applied and without massage, similar results were obtained for both formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variations of Hair Follicle Size and Distribution in Different Body Sites

TL;DR: The present investigation clearly contradicts former hypothesis that the amount of appendages of the total skin surface represents not more than 0.1% and leads to a differential evaluation of skin penetration processes and a completely different understanding of penetration of topically applied drugs and cosmetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles

TL;DR: The basis for follicular targeting of essential structures containing stem cells for keratinocytes, melanocytes, and mast cells has been laid and a selective penetration route of the microspheres into the HF is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective follicular targeting by modification of the particle sizes

TL;DR: By varying the particle size, different sites within the porcine hair follicle can be targeted selectively, and the situation can be expected to be similar due to a similar size ratio of the hair follicles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hair follicles - a long-term reservoir for drug delivery.

TL;DR: Interestingly, the storage reservoir capacity of the stratum corneum and the hair follicle infundibulum and canal are compared and it is shown that a 10 times longer storage within thehair follicles is demonstrated.
