- About 35–45 min from Richmond
Physician-level hair care, one visit to start
The first step is a single, thorough visit: 60 private minutes with a doctor, live HD trichoscopy, a detailed scalp exam and a requisition for a blood test of over 40 biomarkers. You leave with a clear plan and receive a detailed report with your images afterwards.
From there, many patients combine medical therapy at home with in-clinic treatments spaced weeks apart.
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.
