 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.

Shedding
I loose between 15-30 a day especially after taking a shower. Is this normal? My hair grows fast but since my late twenties I one day notice that after a shower that I would see fifteen hairs or so. I \'am forty years old and concerned if my hair lose in normal? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Mike,
Hair shedding is a normal part of the hair cycle. 10 to 15% of your hair is in the telogen phase at any one time. This means that you shed a large number of hairs each month as they go into the telogen phase, and at the same time a large number come out of telogen phase and start to regrow. So as long as your hair is not thinning, then don't worry, it is just undergoing the normal cycle.
