VeraDermics is a dermatology company that creates novel drug delivery mechanisms for a pain-free cure for skin conditions such as warts. It offers a dissolvable microneedle patch solution that administers immunotherapy without any pain, a treatment that stimulates the body’s own immune system to fight off the wart virus.
The patch is applied like a Band-Aid and remains on the skin for less than an hour. During that time, the microneedles, which are composed of the immune-stimulators in a sustained-release polymer matrix, dissolve from the adhesive backing and are implanted into the skin.
The adhesive can then be removed leaving the microneedles to dissolve in the skin over weeks. During that time, immune stimulators are steadily released directly into the wart.
