About us

Our clinic brings together the best of three worlds — trichology, medicine, and surgical expertise — to create a truly comprehensive approach to hair and scalp health. Located in Toronto, TrichoMed is Canada’s only multidisciplinary clinic where experts collaborate to uncover the causes of hair loss and deliver personalized, evidence-based care.

We don’t just restore hair. We restore confidence, trust, and peace of mind.

A Vision Born from Listening to Patients

TrichoMed was created by a team of seasoned professionals who saw the gap in traditional hair loss care — especially for women who felt dismissed or misunderstood. Too often, patients were told their hair loss was “normal” or “nothing to worry about.” We knew there had to be a better way.

Our founders — trichologists, medical doctors, and hair restoration surgeons — joined forces to design a clinic where patients finally receive the time, attention, and expertise they deserve. Through advanced diagnostics, medical collaboration, and compassionate guidance, we help each person find answers, healing, and confidence.

Today, TrichoMed stands as a new standard in hair health — where science and empathy work hand in hand.

A Team United by Care, Guided by Science

Behind every successful transformation is a team that cares deeply. Our practitioners are leaders in their fields, bringing decades of combined experience in trichology, medical practice, and hair restoration.

Together, they collaborate on each patient case — analyzing scalp health, interpreting lab work, and tailoring evidence-based plans that address the why behind hair loss. This integrated model ensures every recommendation is rooted in both compassion and clinical expertise.
