Background and ObjectiveAblative fractional laser (AFXL) is rapidly evolving as one of the foremost techniques for cutaneous drug delivery. While AFXL has effectively improved topical drug-induced clearance rates of actinic keratosis, treatment of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) has been challenging, potentially due to insufficient drug uptake in deeper skin layers. This study sought to investigate a standardized method to actively fill laser-generated channels by altering pressure, vacuum, and pressure (PVP), enquiring its effect on (i) relative filling of individual laser channels; (ii) cutaneous deposition and delivery kinetics; (iii) biodistribution and diffusion pattern, estimated by mathematical simulation.MethodsFranz diffusion chambers (FCs) were used to evaluate the PVP-technique, comparing passive (AFXL) and active (AFXL+PVP) channel filling. A fractional CO2-laser generated superficial (225 mu m;17.5mJ/channel) and deep (1200 mu m; 130.5mJ/channel) channels, and PVP was delivered as a 3-minutes cycle of 1 minute pressure (+1.0atm), 1 minute vacuum (-1.0atm), and 1 minute pressure (+1.0atm). Filling of laser channels was visualized with a colored biomarker liquid (n=12 FCs, n=588 channels). Nuclear magnetic resonance quantified intracutaneous deposition of topically applied polyethylene glycol (PEG400) over time (10 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours), investigated with (n=36 FCs) and without (n=30 FCs) PVP-filling. Two-dimensional mathematical simulation was used to simulate intradermal biodistribution and diffusion at a depth of 1,000 mu m.ResultsActive filling with application of PVP increased the number of filled laser channels. At a depth of 1,000 mu m, filling increased from 44% (AFXL) to 94% with one PVP cycle (AFXL+PVP; P
