Background
Microinfusion is a skin treatment that uses tiny needles to deliver medications directly into the skin. One common medication used in this way is minoxidil, which helps with hair loss. However, there is limited information on how this method affects the body, particularly blood pressure.
Objective
The aim of this study was to measure blood pressure changes before and after applying minoxidil to the scalp using microinfusion. This helps us understand if the medication has any effects on the body beyond the scalp.
Methods
This study involved 24 participants who were randomly divided into two groups: one group received minoxidil, while the other received a saline solution (placebo). Each participant had three treatment sessions over three months, and their blood pressure was measured before and after each session.
Results
Participants who received minoxidil showed a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure after treatment. In contrast, those in the placebo group experienced a notable increase in systolic blood pressure, likely due to discomfort during the procedure.
Conclusion
The findings indicate that minoxidil can be absorbed into the bloodstream when delivered through microinfusion, leading to a decrease in diastolic blood pressure. This suggests that while treating hair loss, minoxidil may also have systemic effects.
Opportunities for Clinics and Patients
Based on the trial data, clinics can:
- Set clear goals for monitoring blood pressure changes in patients receiving minoxidil microinfusion.
- Utilize AI tools to track patient outcomes and optimize treatment plans.
- Implement pilot projects to assess the real-world impact of these treatments.
