Article Synopsis
- Recent research into cold atmospheric plasma suggests its potential in medical applications, particularly for improving drug delivery through skin by evaluating different dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs).
- Various imaging techniques and electrical resistance measurements were utilized to assess how effectively different types of DBDs could create pores in the outer layer of human skin (stratum corneum).
- The study found that μs-pulsed DBDs were effective at forming pores, while ns-pulsed DBDs were gentler and less damaging, emphasizing the need for tailored plasma characteristics for specific treatment purposes.
