Abstract

Skin photoaging, resulting from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, is characterized by intricate biological changes involving oxidative damage and structural alterations. Despite an increasing demand for effective interventions, the current therapeutic options for treating skin photoaging are limited. We discovered through literature data search on PubMed that recent research has shifted its focus to the application of microneedle patches as an innovative approach to address this concern. Microneedle patches, serving as a novel transdermal delivery system, exhibit the potential to deliver bioactive substances such as cytokines, cellular vesicles, gene fragments and even alive algae to mitigate the effects of skin photoaging. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in research about utilizing microneedle patches for the treatment of skin photoaging and potential future directions in leveraging microneedle patches as clinical therapeutic agents for skin rejuvenation. Ultimately, we believe that microneedle patches have a broader application prospect in the fields of medical cosmetology and anti-photoaging.
