Going through the Follica Patent, highlighting the important stuff... (Hair Multiplication & Research)

Its to cover whatever they might find to be the optimal method. There are a lot of different things for them to try that might make the difference between regrowing a few or a lot of follicles.

But this is not a study this is a patent - a method for regrowing hair. In an experiment when you are trying to discover how and why someething works you control different variables. When you are trying to optimise results you throw in everything that helps. Some of this stuff they know helps - ie EGRF inhibitors, minox. Other stuff is either in there just in case (antiandrogens, anti-inflamatories) or they have a pretty good idea that it helps but arent throwing in the data just yet.

I'm not a fan of either drug but I suspect that DHT specifically makes the scalp an unfriendly place for follicle regeneration (downregulating wnt, upregulating DKK1) which is half the problem in the first place. Getting rid of its influence for a few weeks could make a big difference.
