Resumen en inglés Bleomycin is a chemotherapeutical drug used to treat several neoplasias, including non-melanoma skin cancer; it is effective in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) via intralesional infiltration. Transdermal drug delivery, which includes technologies such as CO2 Laser, Dermapen, Dermaroller and MMP®, delivers the desired medication to treat skin neoplasias and also acts in skin rejuvenation. Objective To treat BCC lesions using bleomycin via MMP®. Methods Ninety-eight BCC lesions in different anatomical areas were treated using MMP® technology to administer and uniformly distribute bleomycin throughout the lesion and in the established safety margin. Results The cure rate after six months was 96.94%; and recurrences were not associated with lesion size and/or depth. Adverse effects were the expected ones. Study limitations The follow-up time was only six months. Conclusion This therapeutic route showed to be promising and effective
