| Typical dose | Exclusively within approved clinical trials: a single 25 mg dose (the "therapeutic" dose in the COMPASS Pathways trial) or a two-session protocol of 20–30 mg in the Johns Hopkins trial, each time under the direct supervision of two trained therapists in a clinical office. | Sessions of 10–20 minutes, 3–5 times a week, depending on the device and goal |
| Form | Synthetic, standardized psilocybin in capsule form — not natural mushrooms with variable, unpredictable active-substance content. | LED panels, face masks, or spot-treatment devices |

| Time to effects | Subjective, acute psychedelic effects appear 20–40 minutes after dosing and last 4–6 hours. The antidepressant effect, if it occurs, tends to be noticeable within days of the session, and in the COMPASS Pathways trial was still partially measured at 12 weeks — though in some patients it faded over time and required consideration of another session or a return to standard treatment. | Visible effects for skin usually appear after several to a dozen or so weeks of regular sessions. |
| Who it's for | Exclusively participants in approved clinical trials on treatment-resistant depression, qualified after detailed psychiatric assessment | People interested in supporting skin health and appearance |
