Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF ANDROGENETIC SKIN CONDITIONS BY MICROBIAL ORGANISMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/018549
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A specific naturally occurring or genetically modified bacterial strain can be introduced into the hair follicle of patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia as to reduce the bioavailable extracellular testosterone and hence reduce the effect of androgens on the hair follicle.
