Micro-Projection Massage Head for Shallow, Comfortable Transdermal Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing microneedle transdermal enhancement technologies face issues of long waiting time for visible effects, discomfort during use, and risk of subcutaneous tissue damage due to microneedles penetrating deep into the stratum corneum, hindering widespread adoption.
Innovation Solution
A micro-projection massage head with micro-projections not exceeding 60 micrometers in height, combined with a vibrating mechanism operating at frequencies over 1000 times per minute, forms shallow delivery channels in the stratum corneum, ensuring effective ingredient absorption without discomfort and reducing the risk of tissue damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If microneedles with height of 100 micrometers or above are used to penetrate the stratum corneum, then transdermal absorption efficacy is improved, but user discomfort increases and risk of subcutaneous tissue damage occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the critical parameter of microneedle height from 100 micrometers or above to below 60 micrometers. This parameter change allows the microneedles to form delivery channels in the stratum corneum without penetrating too deeply, thereby maintaining transdermal absorption efficacy while reducing user discomfort and the risk of subcutaneous tissue damage.
2Productivity
If microneedles with height of 100 micrometers or above are used to form delivery channels, then effective ingredients can enter skin quickly, but visible effect time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the microneedle height parameter to below 60 micrometers, which creates shallower delivery channels that facilitate faster absorption of effective ingredients into the skin. This parameter optimization enables visible skincare effects to appear more quickly, reducing the waiting time while maintaining efficient ingredient delivery.
3Reliability
If microneedles with height of 100 micrometers or above are used, then delivery channels penetrate stratum corneum effectively, but technology popularization is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the microneedle height parameter to below 60 micrometers, creating a safer and more comfortable experience for users. This parameter change removes the barriers of discomfort and safety concerns that have hindered the popularization of microneedle technology, while still maintaining effective delivery channel formation in the stratum corneum.
