Hair growth effects in an alopecia model of C57BL/6 mice to which test compounds were applied topically for 4 weeks. N: saline, VC: jojoba oil, PC: 3% minoxidil, E1: 3% lavender oil, E2: 5% lavender oil. (A) Photographs of the back skin. From week 3, PC, E1, and E2 groups showed notable darkening of skin color, and over time they showed a markedly greater hair growth than the N group. (B) Hair growth area of back skin. Each value represents the mean ± SD of 6 mice. ^a,b,cValues with different superscripts indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) for each given week, by ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range tests.
