GERMAN RESEARCHERS FIND THAT SANDALWOOD STIMULATES HAIR GROWTH AFTER 6 DAYS

"Studies have already shown that exposing human skin cells to sandalwood in the lab causes the protein keratin to multiply, which speeds up wound healing."  That's neat.  So sandalwood oil has wound-healing capabilities in addition to stimulating hair follicles.  But the article ends with a funny insertion at the end.  In a kind of non-sequitur, it describes how lab animals were treated with a micro-lasers to reactivate hair follicles. 
This comes after research released earlier this week showed that a wearable device made up of 900 micro lasers stimulated hair growth in rats with alopecia.
Wearing the 20mm thick patch for just 15 minutes a day for less than three weeks caused the rodents to grow longer hair faster than those who received a standard hair growth injection. 
Although interesting, not completely sure of the relevance of lasters to oils except in the greater subject on the treatment of baldness.
