Hair Tattoo Clinic and Hair Loss Clinic Toronto are divisions of TRICHOLOGY CENTRE in Toronto and Richmond Hill. Our trichologist can help you develop a specialized hair loss treatment plan for your hair loss issues. We are a hair loss specialist in Toronto.
Trichology investigates the anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and chemistry/physics of hair/skin. A trichologist inquires about nutrition, medical history, genetics, lifestyle, and hygiene to identify hair/scalp issues.
A trichologist specializes in the science of the structure, function and diseases of the hair and scalp. A trichologist can help diagnose your hair or scalp problem and develop a personalized hair loss treatment plan for you to follow and start the road to recovery.

PRP Hair Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a safe, non-invasive treatment for androgenetic alopecia. It uses your blood to harvest the platelet-rich plasma, which has many growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth.
Clinical studies have shown that PRP can promote hair regrowth by prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle. During the PRP treatment, your blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelets and plasma.
The PRP is injected into the scalp using a microneedling device or injection gun (seen in the video). It takes a minimum of 3 months post-treatment to see a visible improvement in your hair loss.

PRP Hair Treatment Before and After
We use the Hamilton-Norwood Scale for male pattern baldness to determine your level of hair loss and to determine scalp micropigmentation cost.
Scalp and skin conditions
- dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis and pityriasis capitis)
- ringworm (tinea capitis)
- parasitic infestation, head lice (pediculosis capitis)
- inflammatory conditions (psoriasis)
- scaling (hyperkeratotsis)
A trichologist can identify the source of your hair loss. Some of these include:
Hereditary factors – typically male pattern baldness in men and female pattern baldness in women.
Hormones – Hormones with abnormal androgen levels may lead to hair loss
Autoimmune disease – alopecia areata can be caused by a misdirected immune system.
Stress – Stressful events or long-term stress can lead to sudden hair loss (telogen effluvium)
Drugs – Chemotherapy and other drugs may cause hair loss (anagen effluvium).
Diet and nutrition – an imbalanced diet poor in protein or deficiencies in specific vitamins and minerals can cause hair loss
Cosmetic procedures – beaching, straightening, dyeing, over-shampooing, all can cause hair loss.
Medical conditions – thyroid disease, lupus, eating disorders, anemia, and other medical conditions can cause hair loss.
Illness, injury and childbirth – diseases like ringworm caused by a fungal infection and pregnancy can cause hair loss.
Mental disorder – trichotillomania is a hair-pulling disorder which is a compelling urge to pull out your hair.
Hair loss treatments that are available from a trichologist
Some treatments for hair loss that may be available from a trichologist include topical therapies such as AAPE stem cell, PRP, low-level laser, ultraviolet, massage, and aromatherapy, as well as diet and nutrition advice.
Referral to a medical specialist
A trichologist can refer you to other specialists for diagnosis. Blood work may be necessary to check for nutritional deficiencies. A scalp biopsy can reveal cicatricial alopecia. An endocrinologist can determine if hormones are a factor. A psychologist could be consulted if hair loss was due to trauma or stress. If you’re having hair or scalp issues, call a certified trichologist at the Trichology Centre. You can call the Trichology Centre in Toronto or Richmond Hill at 647-492-9093.
