 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.

hair loss
I am 24 years old, and I have had lots of hair all my life. Everytime I get it cut I have to thinned out it. Recently about 4 months ago, I noticed my hair started shedding. I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was from styling hair. I started becoming concerned when I noticed everyday great amounts shed, particularly in the shower.
I one day saw on the news about excess amounts of Vitamin A leading to hairloss. I have taken over the recomended amount for over 7 months(for control of acne)and didn't reall have any serious hair shedding.However I did notice rashes in spots appear on my arms, and severe skin dryness.
I recently stopped the excess intake of Vitamin A (retinyl), it's been a week now, but my hair is still shedding. I feel like I am going to go bald.I also notice my scalp beginning to tingle, and itch a little bit.I am afraid this could be serious. Do you know what could be causing this and what I can do about this?
Hard to say, I would suggest a hair loss genetics test, go to HairDx for more info,
