Introduction: The growing demand for healthy-looking skin calls for a noninvasive rapid method to enhance absorption of hydrophilic (LogP < 1) and macromolecular (MW>500) cosmeceuticals limited by the stratum corneum (SC)[1]. Liposomes, as star-level transdermal carriers, can also act as cavitation nuclei under ultrasound sonication. Their oscillation and collapse generate microstreams, shock waves or microjets, disrupting the SC lipid bilayer to enhance penetration[2]. Here, we proposed a strategy combining ultrasound-responsive liposomes with ultrasound for noninvasive rapid delivery of hydrophilic and macromolecular cosmeceuticals.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, participants will know
Demonstrate the feasibility of cavitation-mediated transdermal delivery.
Evaluate the differences between cavitation-mediated transdermal delivery and passive penetration.
