Nanoparticles enhance topical treatments in several ways:
1. Improved Penetration: Due to their small size, nanoparticles can penetrate deeper layers of the skin more effectively than traditional formulations. 2. Controlled Release: Nanocarriers can be engineered to release their payload gradually, providing sustained effects over time. 3. Targeted Delivery: Surface modifications allow nanoparticles to target specific cells or tissues, reducing side effects and improving treatment outcomes.
