摘要
Scalp microinfusion is a promising novel drug delivery technique for hair loss treatment. We discuss the MMP (R) technique and review its possible use in alopecias. MMP (R) technique provides a small amount of drugs delivered homogeneously into the skin combined with micro-needling and can, therefore, provide optimal delivery. However, literature on this technique is limited to a few case reports despite its wide use in some countries. Further studies are needed to standardize protocols. (c) 2023 S. Karger AG, Basel
