Understanding Hair Restoration.
Book Your Hair Restoration Consultation →
Most people notice thinning long before anyone else does: more scalp showing along the part, more hair in the drain, or a crown that looks lighter under bright light.
Hair restoration starts with finding out why it's happening. Thinning can come from inherited pattern hair loss, and also from thyroid changes, low iron, illness, medication, cancer treatment, pregnancy or a stressful stretch of life. Once we know the cause, we can build a plan around it.
Hair restoration may improve hair density and thickness while follicles are still responsive, and the outcome depends on what's behind the change. Shedding after childbirth, illness or stress often settles on its own, and treatment isn't always needed. When support is worthwhile, we offer a range of options, and your plan may use one or a combination, chosen for your needs.
Concerns & Goals
Concern guides connected to this treatment.
Female-Pattern Hair Loss
Gradual thinning and reduced density across the top of the scalp, often with more scalp showing along the part.
Male-Pattern Hair Loss
Progressive thinning at the hairline, temples or crown driven by inherited sensitivity to androgens.
Hair Thinning
Reduced hair density, increased shedding or more visible scalp resulting from thinning hair.
Reduced Hair Density
Fewer visible hairs within an area of the scalp, making the scalp more noticeable.
Increased Hair Shedding
More hairs than usual entering the resting and shedding phases of the hair growth cycle.

Treatment options and technologies
At our clinic, hair thinning is treated with regenerative, needle-free and medical options, used on their own or together depending on your needs. If testing finds a treatable medical cause, we treat that first.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): for early to moderate thinning where follicles are still producing hair. PRP scalp injections are performed by our experienced physicians.
- Alma TED: a needle-free option that suits people who prefer to avoid needles or whose medication makes scalp injection unsuitable. Sessions are provided by Dr. Gidon Frame or our trained technicians, under Dr. Frame's medical direction.
- Medical therapy: prescribed topical or oral treatment for the hormonal or metabolic drivers of hair loss, reviewed by our physicians.
Hair changes treatment may help with
- Thinning along the part: fuller-looking hair where your scalp has become more visible
- Thinning at the crown: reduced density across the crown or top of the scalp
- Receding hairline and temples: early recession at the front of the scalp
- Excessive hair shedding: shedding after childbirth, illness or stress often settles naturally, and we'll help you know when support is worthwhile
- Fine or thinning hair: hair that has become finer, softer and shorter than it used to be
- Thinning linked to a health condition: a medical look at thyroid, iron, hormonal and other causes behind the change
- Hair regrowth after chemotherapy: support for hair and scalp health when regrowth is slow or thinning persists
- Scalp health: a clean, hydrated scalp as the foundation for healthy hair, with scalp hydration and clarification when your scalp needs it
Outcomes depend on the cause, and treatment tends to help most while follicles are still producing hair, even fine hair.
Who may benefit
Hair restoration suits people who've noticed the change fairly recently and still have visible hair, however fine, in the areas that concern them.
Both men and women are treated. The pattern differs (men more often at the temples and crown, women more often as diffuse thinning with more scalp showing along the part), and so does the workup. For women, iron, thyroid and hormonal factors are more often part of the picture.
After cancer treatment. Regrowth often begins within a few months of finishing chemotherapy, though full regrowth can take longer, and for some people thinning persists. You're very welcome to come in. Your physician reviews your medical and cancer treatment history first, and your oncology team confirms that any scalp treatment suits you, especially during active treatment or ongoing maintenance therapy.
Some situations are addressed first. Blood-thinning medication or a bleeding or clotting disorder affects whether scalp injections suit you. An active scalp infection or inflammatory scalp condition is treated first, and scarring hair loss has its own medical care.
Sudden or patchy loss. Hair coming out in defined circular patches, or falling out very quickly, needs a medical assessment first, and we'll make sure that happens before any hair treatment is planned.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Your consultation
Your first visit is a complimentary consultation with one of our senior laser technicians or cosmetic health and skincare advisors. One of our physicians, Dr. Gidon Frame, Dr. Sarina Govindasamy or Dr. Teri Fisher, then sees you to approve your treatment, since thinning is often a medical clue as well as a cosmetic concern, and prescribes or performs physician treatments such as PRP when they're part of your plan.
We look at the pattern of loss, the calibre of the hairs in the affected areas and the condition of your scalp. We'll ask when it started, how fast it's progressed, about family history, recent illness, surgery, pregnancy, crash dieting or stress, your diet, and every medication and supplement you take.
Blood tests are often part of this. Thyroid function, iron stores and hormonal markers can reveal a treatable cause, and follicles respond best once a deficiency has been corrected.
If you can bring photographs of your hair from a few years ago, please do. They're more informative than memory.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed.

Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic can help you understand this treatment, explore related technologies and concerns, and build a plan around your goals.
What treatment is like
A course, not a single visit. The hair cycle turns slowly, so treatment is planned as a series spaced over time, followed by periodic maintenance. What each session involves is explained on the PRP and Alma TED technology pages.
Tracking progress. We take standardized photographs between sessions, because month-to-month change in hair is very hard to judge in a mirror.
Results and treatment planning
What treatment can improve: shedding, the calibre and strength of existing hairs, overall density in thinning areas, and the pace of further loss.
When change appears. Hair moves slowly. Reduced shedding is usually the first thing people notice, well before any visible change in density, and several months pass before there's anything to photograph. Session numbers and recovery depend on the option chosen and are explained on each technology page.
Keeping your results. When thinning is ongoing, such as with pattern hair loss, an initial course is usually followed by maintenance.
What influences your outcome: how long the thinning has been present, how much miniaturization has already happened, the underlying cause, your age, iron and thyroid status, other medical conditions, and how consistently you complete the course. Individual results vary.
Recovery and aftercare
Most people go straight back to their day. Aftercare for PRP and Alma TED is explained on each technology page and at your visit, and your physician goes through the effects of any prescribed medication before you start.
Looking after your scalp
Hair grows out of skin, and a healthy scalp gives follicles the best environment to grow in.
- Treat flaking and itching early so your scalp stays calm.
- Reduce build-up from heavy styling products.
- Be gentle with your hairline. Tight ponytails, braids and extensions pull constantly at the hairline, so looser styles help protect it.
- Go easy on heat and chemical processing while hair is fragile, which reduces breakage.
Good scalp care supports your treatment and keeps hair in better shape between sessions. We'll suggest a routine at your visit, and scalp and hair care products are available in our online shop.

FAQ
Questions about Hair Restoration.
The most useful sign is whether hair is still growing in the area, even very fine, short or pale hair. That tells us the follicles are active and have something to work with. A close look at your scalp at your consultation shows where treatment is likely to help most.
Low iron stores, thyroid changes and certain hormonal patterns all cause hair loss, and treating them can improve hair on its own. Checking first means your plan targets the real cause, and any in-clinic treatment has the best chance of working.
It can happen, and it's usually a sign of change. Hairs in a resting phase are released as follicles move back into a growing phase, making way for new growth. It typically settles, and if it continues beyond the early weeks, let us know so we can review your plan.
The treatments are broadly the same, and the investigation is often more detailed. Female pattern thinning tends to be diffuse across the top of the scalp and overlaps more often with iron deficiency, thyroid conditions, hormonal changes and post-pregnancy shedding. Some medications used for men aren't suitable for women, so the medical side of the plan is tailored.
That depends on the cause. Shedding after childbirth, illness or stress often settles, while pattern hair loss tends to continue, so regular maintenance helps you keep the improvement. We'll plan a rhythm that fits your hair and your schedule.
