Nanotechnology in Dermatology

"Taking advantage of the preferential penetration for particle based systems of drug delivery in the hair follicle canal, Jain et al. demonstrated increased penetration of Minoxidil encapsulated in neutral liposomes in pilosebaceous units in comparison to conventional formulations of the same drug.[SUP]105[/SUP] Another well-established drug for treating alopecia is Finasteride. When carried in liposomes, delivery is more effective and local, and is an alternative to oral administration of the drug.[SUP]106[/SUP]"

Current research on encapsulation of acne drugs in particle based distribution systems is not exclusively limited to retinoids. Bernard et al. demonstrated that liposome formulations of antiandrogenic RU-58841 displayed much deeper hair follicle penetration, specific target action on the sebaceous gland, and that various antiandrogens were carried by SLN'

Combination of topical antiandrogen and CB, using nanotechnology, would make the perfect topical treatment.

Okay, what now, how can we as a consumer deliver minoxidil in that procedure. Also, are they applying finasteride topically? All I know is that 'nano' and 'lipo' are great marketing schemes.

Nice. Can we get a topical formation of RU then so we stop using finasteride and do it topically with few sides? I mean its nice to hear but if we never see an actual product like most other research, what good is it really?
