What are nanoparticles?
Nanoparticles are ultra-small particles used in topical formulations to enhance delivery of active ingredients through the skin and into hair follicles.
They are increasingly used in advanced hair care products to improve the penetration and efficacy of compounds like growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants.
Red light therapy can help stimulate circulation and cellular activity, which may enhance the absorption and effectiveness of nanoparticle-based treatments.
