    Default Follica Phase 2 Results

    From their latest patent:

    http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/e...d=WO2012078649


    Here are the actual results. I don't feel like breaking them down-if someone else could do that, great. What I really like to read is that they actually grew some non-vellus, terminal hair.

    holy shit their data organizing skills are those of a fourth grader...

    from what I could gather:

    ~3 months in: +11% hair count

    ~5.5 months in: +14% hair count

    a lot of those hair were vellus hair so the actual number of new terminal hair is lower...

    i bet dermarolling can even give better results.

    Ive been dermarolling my temples for the past few weeks and ive notcied vellus hairs getting longer.

    At least theyre trying.

    It appears, from what I can see, that this was pretty much ONLY a test of perturbation. The hydrogel doesn't seem to contain anything that would really help regrowth.

    If so, Follica will be aiming to augment this with a chemical treatment to the affected area, whether it's based on wnts or lithium.

    Keeping that in mind, the growth figures look pretty good.

    Yep, there seems to be some confusion about which trial they're referring to in this patent, the information doesn't match the one done in Germany using lithium, and Follica did admit they were in the process of doing a few different clinical trials, this just seems to be a wounding and healing test, no chemical compound is included.

    Hi

    Can I ask what dermarolling is? I'm trying to regrow temple hair but finding it tough.

    Thanks

    it probably wont give dramatic results alone though.
