The conclusion is that using light-sheet fluorescence microscopy with a special solution can effectively create detailed 3D images of human skin for dermatological research.
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
User shared progress in treating hair loss and improving skin, using treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, tretinoin, microneedling, and skin care regimen. Others commented on the impressive results and asked about costs and side effects.
