Thank you all so much for your hard work, compassion, and commitment to myself and all the other patients in your study...I'm incredibly grateful for the hair growth I have, but even if it had been unsuccessful, I think I still would've left hopeful and thankful for your dedication to helping your patients. It is clear you all care very much and I appreciate that you always showed your human side.
