A North Shore clinic, led by a doctor
Many of our hair patients live on the North Shore. Instead of crossing a bridge into Vancouver, they come to us in Ambleside — and get one of the most thorough hair loss assessments in the region, performed by a medical doctor rather than a technician or salesperson.
Because every plan is built on your trichoscopy, scalp exam and bloodwork, we can tell the difference between genetic thinning, shedding (telogen effluvium), hormonal hair loss and scalp conditions — and treat the actual cause.
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.
Conditions we see
- Male and female pattern hair loss (AGA)
- Shedding after stress, illness or pregnancy (TE)
- Hormonal and post-menopausal thinning
- Alopecia areata (patchy loss)
- Receding hairline in your 20s and 30s
