About TrichoMed and Our Approach
What makes TrichoMed different from other hair clinics in Toronto?
TrichoMed is Canada’s only multidisciplinary hair health clinic where trichologists, medical doctors, and hair surgeons collaborate under one roof. This means every patient receives a 360° assessment — medical, trichological, and aesthetic — resulting in more accurate diagnoses and effective, personalized treatment plans.
Who is a good candidate for your services?
We specialize in helping women with thinning or hormonal hair loss, and men in early stages of hair loss who may not yet be candidates for surgery. If you want medical guidance, non-surgical options, or help understanding why your hair is changing, you’re an ideal candidate.
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
No referral is required. You can book your consultation directly through our website. However, we collaborate with other healthcare providers when needed to ensure your care is comprehensive.
Service-Specific Questions
What happens during the first consultation?
Your initial consultation includes a full scalp assessment by a trichologist and a medical review by our practitioner. Together, they identify contributing factors — such as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or scalp conditions — and create a personalized treatment plan.
Are your treatments safe?
Yes. Every treatment at TrichoMed is medically approved, evidence-based, and performed or overseen by licensed professionals. We use advanced diagnostic tools and only clinically validated therapies.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual and treatment plan. Some patients notice improvement in texture and shedding within 8–12 weeks, while others experience visible regrowth over several months. Our goal is to achieve lasting, sustainable improvement — not quick fixes.
Do you offer PRP therapy or laser treatments?
Yes, both are available as part of our non-surgical treatment options. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) stimulates natural growth using your body’s healing factors, while laser therapy promotes circulation and follicle activation. These are often combined for best results.
Can TrichoMed help if I’ve already had a hair transplant?
Absolutely. Many patients come to us post-surgery for scalp optimization, maintenance, and long-term hair health support. We work closely with Toronto’s leading hair surgeons to ensure full continuity of care.
