A diagnosis first, then treatment
Many of our Burnaby patients have already tried shampoos, supplements or a few PRP sessions somewhere else without a clear diagnosis. We start over properly: medical history, live HD trichoscopy, a detailed scalp exam and a blood test of over 40 biomarkers.
Your plan is then built around the cause — and tracked with photos and trichoscopy so you can see what's working.
It starts with a hair analysis
One of the most comprehensive hair analyses in Metro Vancouver — performed and led by a medical doctor, one-on-one and in private, for a full 60 minutes. $250 + GST. It is not free, and it is not a sales visit.
- Medical history. Your health, family history, medications and what you've already tried.
- Live HD trichoscopy. A magnified, on-screen look at your scalp and follicles.
- Detailed scalp examination. Inflammation, oil, irritation and overall scalp health.
- Blood test of over 40 biomarkers. Hormones, thyroid, iron, nutrition and more.
- Your recommendations and plan. Shampoo, medical therapy, natural DHT-blocker options and in-clinic treatments — plus a detailed report with your images.
