Scientific studies on transdermal patches

Transdermal patches are increasingly used in wellness routines. This page aims to present the available scientific data , the principles of transdermal diffusion , and key elements to better understand how they work, in a clear and transparent manner.

What is a transdermal patch?

A transdermal patch is an adhesive patch designed to allow the gradual diffusion of active ingredients through the skin . This technology has been studied for several decades, particularly in the pharmaceutical and dermatological fields, in order to better understand skin absorption capabilities.

The role of the skin in transdermal absorption

The skin acts as a natural protective barrier. Scientific studies show that only certain active ingredients, selected according to their molecular size and skin affinity, can penetrate the stratum corneum when formulation conditions are suitable.

What do scientific studies say about transdermal diffusion?

Available research highlights several factors influencing transdermal diffusion:

• the patch formulation,

• the duration of application,

• the area where the garment is placed on the body,

• the condition and hydration of the skin.

These parameters are widely documented in the scientific literature and form the basis of current transdermal technologies.

Gradual diffusion and continuous release of assets

Unlike oral forms, the transdermal route does not involve the digestive system. Studies indicate that transdermal diffusion allows for a continuous and controlled release of active ingredients , without sudden spikes, which explains its appeal in certain wellness approaches.

Transdermal patches and the wellness approach

Transdermal patches are part of a holistic wellness approach , complementing a balanced lifestyle that includes sleep, diet, and stress management. The studies presented aim to explain the observed mechanisms, without making any promises of individual results.
