MICRONEEDLE ARAY AND SKIN PERMEATION APPARATUS THEREWITH

Disclosed are a microneedle array and a skin permeation apparatus comprising the same. The microneedle array comprises: a substrate part; a needle part; and a permeation inducing part. The needle part protrudes from the substrate part, and includes a plurality of microneedles. The microneedles permeate the skin to allow a fluid to permeate the skin. The permeation inducing part is formed on ends of the microneedles to induce the permeation of the fluid into the skin through the microneedles penetrating the skin. According to the present invention, an action of forming fine holes in the stratum corneum and an action of coating a fluid on the skin through a fluid jet portion of a header are simultaneously performed by merely bring the microneedle array into contact with the skin. Therefore, the skin permeation apparatus is excellent in the transfer effect of active ingredients and is convenient for use.
