    controlled cutaneous perturbation using dermabrasion (DA –
    a more superficial perturbation) plus the topical application of
    lithium gluconate 8% gel, to those subjects treated with

    3) To compare the number of histologically detected hair follicles in biopsies taken on Day 168 from subjects treated with controlled cutaneous perturbation using a
