    Glossary Nanoparticles

    extremely small particles ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers

    Nanoparticles are extremely small particles that range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers. Due to their tiny size, they have unique physical and chemical properties compared to their larger-scale counterparts, making them useful in various fields such as medicine, electronics, and materials science. In the context of hair and alopecia, nanoparticles can be used to deliver drugs or active ingredients directly to hair follicles, potentially improving the effectiveness of treatments.
