Too bad it doesn't actually treat hair loss, their results are non-existent.

Without seeing the patent it is hard to tell.

Doing a press release on the patent is just standard operating procedure. It doesn't really indicate much.

It's better than a press release about how they're shutting down. Otherwise, kinda neutral.

Something is undoubtedly going on in that company, that's clear sign after actualisation of their website and new Cotsarelis's patent issued Aug 06 2015.

Thank you bro
And don't forget, I have posted this on BTT, few months ago : Cotsarelis project will be ended on 2018 (Project End : 2018-07-31)
And there are already some human clinical studies ...

"This patent allowance represents another significant milestone towards commercialization for Follica as we advance development of our novel platform and product candidates," said David Tharp, Follica's Vice President of Corporate Development.

Apparently they are moving forward after all...

I always thought the reasons why follica was so secretive about its procedure were mostly patent issues given the complexity of their approach

Follica is developing an out-patient therapy coupled with an at-home system for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hair loss) and has assembled a team of leading experts in the dermatology and medical device development fields to develop and commercialize its product platform. Follica has three main families of patents pertaining to its principal technology areas, with patents issued in certain geographies as well as applications pending worldwide.

Probably their own version of dermaroller with topical.
