How do I know if my hair follicles are still alive? When somebody notices a widening parting or increasingly visible scalp, one of the most frightening questions is: “Have I left it too late?” Thinning hair does not automatically mean your hair follicles are dead.

Understanding why certain areas hurt more can help you feel more prepared and confident before your treatment. read more

The key is understanding that you’re treating the follicle first, and the hair follows. One of read more
