 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 have experienced severe shedding since I went back to taking the birth control pill about one year ago. The shedding occurs around my hairline and in the back top area of my head. I am almost positive this is the cause of the hair loss, because when i wasnt taking the pill, my hair was growing and not shedding at all. I am currently taking the generic Kariva. Is there something I can do to counteract the side effects of the pill?
Hello,
The BCP mimics pregnancy and can cause hair loss. You may have to stop it and go on Minoxidil. It should counteract the effects of the pill,
