Background and ObjectiveAblative fractional laser (AFXL) facilitates delivery of topical methotrexate (MTX). This study investigates impact of laser-channel depth on topical MTX-delivery.Materials and MethodsMTX (1% [w/v]) diffused for 21 hours through AFXL-exposed porcine skin in in vitro Franz Cells (n=120). A 2,940nm AFXL generated microscopic ablation zones (MAZs) into epidermis (11mJ/channel, MAZ-E), superficial-dermis (26mJ/channel, MAZ-DS), and mid-dermis (256mJ/channel, MAZ-DM). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to quantify MTX deposition in full-thickness skin, biodistribution profiles at specific skin levels, and transdermal permeation. Fluorescence microscopy was used to visualize UVC-activated MTX-fluorescence (254nm) and semi-quantify MTX distribution in skin.ResultsAFXL increased topical MTX-delivery (P
