Answered on 14th Oct '24

Finasteride is mostly safe to use for most people and it's not a direct cause of prostate cancer. Nevertheless, it can have an impact on the behavior of the prostate which in turn, may result in a PSA test result being altered. If you have concerns, it's always best to talk to your doctor.

Hello, I am 24 years old, I actually wanted to know if dermaplaning is good for my face and is their any side effects after doing that. Also I wanted to know the cost of dermaplane for my face. Thankyou!

Female | 24

Dermaplaning is helpful in decreasing wrinkles, acne and fine lines. But to know whether you are eligible or not for it, you need to visit a dermatologist. Based on your skin type and condition, the doctor will tell whether dermaplaning is suitable for you or not. And talking about the cost, it depends on the area that needs treatment and it also depends on the doctor and the clinic.

LINEATOR & LYCOMIX Q10 BOTH MEDICINE IS SAME.

Male | 39

Lineator and Lycomix Q10 never will be the same. They are quite different. Lineator is a medicine for treating upset stomach and relieving acid reflux. Lycomix Q10, on the other hand, is a supplement that contains the active ingredient Coenzyme Q10. It is mostly taken for improving heart health and for boosting energy. Don't forget to consult your doctor to determine if new drugs and/or supplements are right for you.
