While not everyone may find hair loss as interesting as we do here at the Limmer Hair Transplant Center, that doesn’t mean that you won’t find some of these hair facts fascinating. There are a number of amazing things we didn’t know about hair until we got into the hair loss field, so we thought we’d share some of these incredible facts with you today.
Oftentimes we’ll come across articles regarding scientific studies and experiments related to hair loss that we find interesting, but a lot of times these are just preliminary studies that show positive trends towards help with hair loss, but not necessarily in humans.

Hot tubs, close shaves, and hair transplant surgery all have something in common: they can all lead to cases of folliculitis.
In short, folliculitis is When hair follicles become inflamed or infected, which can result in those annoying little pimple-like bumps that pop up on your skin.
Finding clumps of hair in your hands or on your brush may cause you to panic and immediately start researching how to make it grow back, or possibly even look into a hair transplant. It’s fairly common for people to start losing their hair in their 20’s but there is no reason to immediately freak out.
It’s intimidating for anyone to go under-the-knife. After all, there are always potential health risks including infection, scarring or adverse reactions—even for minor surgical procedures.

As technology continues to advance and new breakthroughs in medical science are discovered all the time, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the new developments that can help improve our lives.
Thanks to ever advancing technology in the world of hair loss, there are more non-surgical options than ever to help prevent a thinning scalp, and one of the newer ways is PRP Therapy, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy.
