A short YouTube presentation by Dr. Charles Mok describing clinical and biopsy observations after topical application of sirolimus (rapamycin). The speaker reports that treated skin appeared younger with fewer senescent cells, increased type VII collagen, greater elasticity, less sagging, improved color, reduced solar damage, and smaller pores when sirolimus was applied daily or every other day.

What they found was that the skin not only looked better, but when doing biopsies, where they take a little piece of tissue out of the skin, they found that the skin was actually younger, had less senescent cells, had more type 7 collagen. The skin was more elastic, less saggy, had better color, less we call solar damage, less pore size. We see clinically this is using the drug sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, topically, every day or every other day.
