Microneedles provide an artificial pathway across the skin barrier for medical and cosmetic applications. This technology has seen a significant increase in popularity over the past years; as an example, the use of multiple small needles mounted on a roller to pierce the skin, prompting it to stimulate collagen production, has undergone a resurgence of interest as an adjunctive procedure for a number of skin disorders. This monograph draws together what is known about how to integrate microneedle technology into clinical dermatologic practice.

The food we eat can have an important influence on our skin, nails, and hair, but there is surprisingly little to guide the medical professional through what reputable scientific research has established and how best to advise a patient interested in the topic. Recent research has also challenged many previous ideas, which can add to a general air of uncertainty. This succinct text guides the physician through the many controversies and summarizes what can be recommended.
