 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.

loss of hair on legs
I'm a mid-50s male, with a full head of hair. But for at least the last 20 years I've had almost no hairs on my legs. The loss was not patchy and was most noticable on my lower legs. I've read that this might be a result of circulation problems, but I'm otherwise in good health and seem to have no associated circulatory problems. Could this be merely a strange genetic phenomenon of no other implications? Does it indicate some nutritional deficiency (although I eat a good diet and take a multi-vitamin)? Any concerns?
Likely this is hereditary. This is sometimes seen on males your age,
To be sure there is nothing else going on, see your family doctor for a physical,
