How It Works

HOW DO NANOTECHNO­LOGY FACELIFT CREAMS WORK?

- Romana Richards

There is little research available in terms of scientific publishing to suggest that the nanotechno­logy in facelift creams works. Either the companies involved are very protective of their secret formula, or it’s not actually working. ‘Nano’ means small, very small, to be exact, and thereby nanotechno­logy is about engineerin­g materials on the scale of molecules and atoms. Here we are talking about a cream which can supposedly ‘lift’ the face and tighten it somehow. While there’s no doubt as to the ability of these creams to moisturise, improve the texture of the skin and temporaril­y tighten the skin, the ability of a cream to perform this tightening and lifting permanentl­y – which would otherwise be done through surgical means – remains in doubt.
