Accessibility and Economic Viability of Microneedling Products for Health Care Monitoring

Abstract

The global market for microneedling products is experiencing considerable growth due to rising demand for skincare products that address ageing and environmental damage. Extensive research is ongoing for the development of microneedling products that can efficiently deliver therapeutics, as there is a dire need for novel transdermal drug delivery techniques that can augment the transdermal market for hydrophilic molecules, macromolecules, proteins, and traditional medicines for new therapeutic indications. Microneedling products are also being exploited for use in diagnostics, as well as additional medical, cosmetic, and other applications. In this review, we focus on the current state of the art in this field and provide information about safety, economic potential, and market access, to sketch what we consider will be the future of health monitoring.
