Abstract

Nanoscience represents the study of particles on an atomic or molecular scale, whose size is measured in nanometers. A nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter (i.e., 10-9 m). Nanotechnology, employing the concept of nanoscience, is an emerging branch of engineering pertaining to the use of particles on a nanoscale (1-100 nm). Applying this novel concept of nanotechnology in the field of dermatology for diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive applications is the Nanodermatology.
