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 seeing an increased hair fall over the last couple of months.I have shifted to this place about 1 yr back and i have a feeling that my hair problem started after my shifting here....i see mind dandruff in my scalp and then my hair seems to fall off.I am using an anti dandruff shampoo(with ketoconajole)....but this needs to be applied twice a week for any significant effect).I visited my dermatologist almost 20 days back.He investigated me and said that i could be suffering form iron deficiency as i look pale and so has suggested me to take iron,zinc and biotin supplements.I continued on with his medication 20 days back and am continuing to use it but i feel there is no improvement at all.My hairs continue to fall when washing and also otherwise....Please suggest what could be the reason for this.I never had any hair problem earlier....now i even tend to have a blind spot in my crown area.Expecting an answer from you soon.
Regards,
Aparna
Aparna,
It is difficult to answer this problem without seeing you, examining you and doing blood work. Visit your doctor again to get more answers,
