Could be something, but simply citing an increase in hair count without an accompanying analysis of the quality of the additional hair isn't very informative. I doubt many guys would be excited about the prospect of adding 18% more vellus hairs to their head. -

Zoom in on the second page, and you'll see a before and after photos.
I was confused at first but the picture is two people with a before and after photo, not 1 person in 4 photos.Comment

Yes, I saw them. But:
a) Photos can be quite deceiving; that's why you really want to see a qualitative analysis.
b) The pictures represent a mere 4% of the test subjects. Are these results typical, or were they exemplary? How broadly did the results vary across the full spectrum of test subjects?Comment

I think you mean quantitative.
I think in Table 1 there is some info regarding the numbers. It also said there was a 75% response rate to the treatment.
Heres the info regarding the clinical trials that are now complete, apparently the trial was Phase II

No, I mean qualitative. Information about an increase in hair count is not very informative without knowing something about the quality of those hairs.

Again, those are strictly quantitative results, not qualitative results. They don't tell you, for example, what percentage of the hair count increase consists of hairs that actually have a cosmetically visible effect.Comment

This is very interesting and the results are great (at least the ones that are shown in the article). I'm going to contact this doctor and find out more about the procedure.Comment
