 Dr. Jones is among the first physicians in North America to add micro follicular unit extraction (FUE) - scalpel-free hair transplants to his practice. He has been practicing from his hair transplant center in Oakville (near Toronto) Ontario for many years, but since he started using the micro follicular unit extraction technique he has become a leader in the field.

Hi,
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease, no one knows the cause. I was visiting a doctor in Florida last week that was using Platelet Rich Plasma with great results, contact my office or go to my site for more information,
