MICRO NEEDLE

START UP

"A tiny mosquito bite can draw out blood and transmit diseases without causing much pain to the person bitten. If we could develop a needle that is small enough to deliver medicine without causing pain, it would be a great advancement."

2010 - Competed in the Design Innovation Contest, DIC 2010. Awarded First Prize by the National Innovation Agency
2011 - NARA Medlife collaborated with the Thai-German Institute to research and develop this design, spending approximately 2.5 years to create a prototype of the microneedle patch. During this time, it was not yet able to deliver active ingredients or contain medication.
2016 - For approximately 2 years, the company collaborated with the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University to research and develop microneedles.
2019 - NARA Medlife collaborated with the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) under the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) to research and study the performance of substance delivery from microneedle patches.
2020 - The microneedles were successfully developed, and the company obtained a license for the microneedle technology from NSTDA, securing exclusive rights to the production technology in Thailand. In 2022, the company changed its name to Nara MedLife Co., Ltd. to further develop products that can compete in the market.

NARA MEDLIFE

Nara Factory Co., Ltd. changed its name to Nara MedLife Co., Ltd.

With over 12 years of dedication to developing microneedle innovations, Nara MedLife is now ready to advance the application of microneedle patch production technology in the fields of medicine and other technologies. The company aims to contribute to enhancing Thailand's competitiveness in the future.

Microneedle innovation

Product Background and Importance:

A patch for delivering active ingredients used in the treatment and restoration of the skin, penetrating deep into the inner layers without causing irritation. It is gentle enough for delicate areas such as around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, and other sensitive regions.

Product Development Goals:

Nara MedLife Co., Ltd. believes that having a patch for treating and restoring the skin is an alternative that offers immediate results similar to those provided by a specialist in aesthetics. This solution allows for effective treatment and self-care at a significantly lower cost.

PERMEABLE TEST

PERCUTANEOUS ABSORPTION

Before treatments :

Skin condition before applying effective agents.

After topical application (Control) :

Skin condition after applying any effective agents without using Nara Microneedle.

After microneedling treatment :

Skin condition after applying any effective agents using Nara Microneedle. Effective agents can be delivered at the epidermal level.

SOLID MICRONEEDLE

WORKING PRINCIPLE :

Small Needles: Solid Microneedle Patch consists of numerous small needles.

Piercing the Skin: When the Microneedle patch is applied to the skin, these needles penetrate the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).

Substances Absorption: For solid Microneedle, after remove Microneedle, apply the desired substances on the skin. The substances are gradually absorb into the body.

For coated Microneedle, The desired substances are either coated on or embedded In the surface of the needles. When the needles come into contact with the skin, the substances are gradually released and absorbed into the body.
