Summary

In a split-face in vivo study of 60 women over 8 weeks, a nanochip tapping device significantly augmented the anti‑aging serum’s improvements in wrinkles, fine lines, radiance, and hydration versus serum alone, without compromising stratum corneum integrity. Participants reported ease-of-use and perceived benefits.

Key Findings

  • Split-face in vivo study (n=60) showed significant improvements with serum alone (p<0.001 across measures) after 8 weeks.
  • Combining serum with a nanochip tapping device further amplified wrinkle reduction, nasolabial fold smoothness, and firmness.
  • No adverse effects on stratum corneum integrity; high user acceptance and perceived benefits.

Clinical Implications

Clinicians can counsel patients that nanochip tapping may safely enhance outcomes of topical anti-aging regimens; however, product/device specificity and longer-term effects should be considered.

Why It Matters

Demonstrates device–cosmetic synergy in a noninvasive, at-home context with objective improvements and safety, informing consumer products and clinical counseling.

Limitations

  • Randomization/blinding not described; potential bias
  • Single product/device; generalizability and long-term durability unknown

Future Directions

Randomized, blinded split-face trials with longer follow-up, device parameter optimization, and exploration across diverse formulations and skin types.
