Carboxygas + 20% minoxidil Therapy (more Than) Doubles Density

[Unspecified]

5 women and 4 men, age range of 25‐55 years, were treated with a combination of minoxidil (20%) by micro‐needling and carboxytherapy mediated by needling. Full study is published in Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology and it's behind paywall, but i managed to find something intresting on image results:

If true, even on small sample, results are stellar on pure percentual basis.
What are your thoughts?

When was this study published ?

I saw the fulltext and closed it. if the results are so "extreme" I wonder why they wont show a single scalp pic to proof cosmetic relevant results. Besides there was no control group.

Carboxytherapy is probably similar to wounding, as you inject the gas and your bodys response is to get rid of it asap.

Why did they choose such a ridiculously high minoxidil concentration?

20% minoxidil is ridiculous and will cause sides in most people
