Summary

This study tested how to best apply STAR particles—tiny particles with microneedles—to healthy skin. The goal was to find the best method to create small punctures that could help future topical medications work better. Twenty healthy adults aged 18 to 39 took part. No active medications were used; only the application method and skin response were measured.
