The topical delivery of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, the pro-drug of vitamin C, was also examined in this study. All resurfacing techniques evaluated produced significant increases in the topical delivery of vitamin C across and/or into the skin. The erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser showed the greatest enhancement of skin permeation of vitamin C among the modalities tested. The laser fluence and spot size were found to play important parts in controlling drug absorption. An excellent correlation was observed in the Er:YAG laser fluence and transepidermal water loss, which is an estimation of skin disruption. Permeation of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate was not enhanced by the Er:YAG laser. The CO2 laser at a lower fluence promoted vitamin C permeation with no ablation of the stratum corneum or epidermal layers. Further enhancement was observed with the CO2 laser at higher fluences, which was accompanied by a prominent ablation effect. Microdermabrasion ablated the stratum corneum layers with minimal disruption of the skin barrier properties according to transepidermal water loss levels. The flux and skin deposition of vitamin C across microdermabrasion-treated skin was approximately 20-fold higher than that across intact skin. The techniques used in this study may be useful for basic and clinical investigations of enhancement of topical vitamin C delivery. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=7955 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Lee WR, Shen SC, Wang KH, Hu CH, Fangz JY ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Lasers and microdermabrasion enhance and control topical delivery of vitamin C. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no=121 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2003 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
