About us

About Our Hair Restoration Clinics in Ontario

DrHairs is a medical hair restoration clinic with two locations in Ontario, Canada:
Markham in York Region, and North York in the City of Toronto.
We assess and treat hair loss in men and women across the Greater Toronto Area, including
androgenetic alopecia, male and female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, excessive shedding
and receding hairlines.

We provide both surgical and non-surgical treatment. Our surgical options are
FUE and FUT hair transplant,
along with beard and eyebrow transplant. Our non-surgical options are
PRP therapy, low-level laser therapy,
TED needle-free hair regeneration,
scalp micropigmentation, and
medical treatment
including prescription medication and hormone assessment.

Consultations are free at both Ontario locations and include a scalp assessment. No referral from
your family doctor is required. Surgical procedures are performed by physicians registered with
the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Hair restoration is classified as a cosmetic
procedure in Ontario and is not covered by OHIP.

Our clinics

Two Ontario Locations, One Standard of Care

Both clinics run the same assessment process and offer the same treatments. Come to whichever one
is easier for you to reach. If you start treatment at one and it later suits you better to attend
the other, that is not a problem.

Treatments

Hair Loss Treatments at Our Ontario Clinics

No single treatment suits everybody, and the right answer often involves more than one. Every
option below is available at both our Markham and North York clinics. We recommend after the
assessment, not before it.

• FUE and FUT Hair Transplant

  Surgical transplant using follicular unit extraction or strip harvesting, including hairline design, beard and eyebrow work.

  FUE and FUT hair transplant →

• PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

  Platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood and injected into thinning areas of the scalp.

  PRP therapy for hair loss →

• Low-Level Laser Hair Therapy

  Laser therapy used to stimulate the scalp and slow the rate of thinning, usually as part of a wider plan.

  Our laser therapy technology →

• TED Needle-Free Hair Regeneration

  Trans-epidermal delivery. Growth factors are moved into the scalp using ultrasound, with no needles.

  How TED delivery works →

• Scalp Micropigmentation

  Cosmetic pigment applied to the scalp to create the appearance of density or a defined hairline. It does not regrow hair.

  Compare all restoration options →

• Medical and Hormonal Treatment

  Prescription hair loss medication, hormone assessment and nutritional support, prescribed after review.

  Hormone and medical treatment →

Not sure which of these applies to you? Our
hair restoration guide compares every option
side by side, and our page on hair loss explains the
common causes and types. If you would rather just ask, the
consultation is free at both clinics.

Straight answers

Five Things We Tell Every Hair Transplant Patient

Most people arrive having read a lot of marketing. Here is what we actually say in the room, so you
know before you book.

1. Not everybody is a suitable candidate for surgery

   A hair transplant moves hair
   from the back and sides of your scalp to the areas that are thinning. If your donor area is not
   dense enough, or your loss is still progressing rapidly, surgery may give a poor result. We
   would rather tell you that at the consultation than after you have paid.

2. A transplant does not stop hair loss from continuing

   Transplanted hair is taken from areas that are genetically resistant to thinning, so it tends to
   stay. The hair around it can carry on receding. That is why we usually pair surgery with an
   ongoing medical or
   non-surgical plan.

3. FUE is not a scar-free procedure

   FUE leaves many small circular marks across the donor area rather than one line. They are easier
   to conceal than an FUT scar, but they exist. Anyone telling you a transplant leaves no mark at
   all is overselling it.

4. Results take most of a year

   Transplanted hair typically sheds within the first few weeks before regrowing. Meaningful
   density usually appears between six and nine months, with the final result at around twelve to
   eighteen months. Nothing looks finished at three months.

5. Nobody can guarantee a specific outcome

   Graft survival, healing and growth vary from person to person, and are affected by your health,
   your medication and how closely you follow aftercare. We can tell you what is likely. We cannot
   promise you a number.

If any of this changes how you were thinking about treatment, that is the point. The
consultation is free at both our Markham and
North York clinics, and you are not committed to anything by coming in.

Cost and coverage

Is Hair Restoration Covered by OHIP in Ontario?

This is one of the first things patients ask, and it is rarely answered clearly anywhere. Here is
the position in plain terms.

OHIP does not cover hair restoration

Hair transplant surgery, PRP therapy, laser therapy and scalp micropigmentation are
classified as cosmetic procedures in Ontario. The Ontario Health Insurance Plan does not
fund cosmetic treatment, so none of these are covered by OHIP.

The narrow exception is hair loss resulting from a documented medical condition, injury or burn.
Even then, coverage is assessed case by case and is never automatic. If you think your situation
might fall into that category, bring any relevant medical records to your
consultation and we will tell you
honestly what we think.

Private insurance and paying for treatment

Most private extended health plans in Canada follow the same position as OHIP and exclude
cosmetic procedures. Some plans do cover
prescription hair loss medication when it
is prescribed by a physician, so it is worth checking your drug benefit specifically rather than
assuming.

All treatment is quoted in Canadian dollars before you commit to anything. You receive the full
cost in writing at your consultation, including how many sessions a non-surgical course would
need, so there is nothing to discover later.

This is general information about how cosmetic procedures are classified and funded in Ontario. It is
not financial or insurance advice. Check the specific terms of your own policy with your insurer.

Our method

The DrHairs Three-Stage Hair Restoration Method

Most clinics sell a procedure. We work through three stages, and surgery is only one possible
outcome of the first.

1. Diagnose

   Scalp analysis, donor area assessment, medical history and, where relevant,
   hormone review. We establish
   what is causing the loss before discussing what
   to do about it.

2. Restore

   The treatment itself, chosen to match the diagnosis. It may be surgical, non-surgical, or a
   combination. Where a transplant
   is performed we use the robotic FUE systems and
   AI-guided graft mapping in our clinics to plan extraction and reduce the time follicles
   spend outside the scalp.

3. Maintain

   Hair loss is progressive. We monitor results and adjust the ongoing plan, because protecting the
   hair you still have matters as much as replacing what you have already lost.

How we work

Clinical Standards at Our Ontario Clinics

Surgical hair transplant procedures at our clinics are performed by licensed physicians
registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. Non-surgical treatments are
delivered by trained clinical staff under medical supervision. You can read more
about our clinic and
our team.

Every treatment plan begins with a scalp assessment rather than a package we are trying to sell.
You will be told what is realistic for your case, including when the honest answer is that a
treatment will not help you enough to be worth the cost.

About the figures on this page.
Our 98% graft survival rate and our 5,000+ procedure count are drawn from our own clinical and
post-procedure follow-up records. Our 4.8 out of 5 rating reflects patient reviews collected across
both Ontario clinics. Individual results vary. Photographs on this website are of real patients and
are provided for reference only. They do not represent a guarantee that you will achieve a similar
outcome. Hair restoration is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by OHIP. All prices are quoted
in Canadian dollars.

Results Built Around the Individual

Hair restoration results are not immediate, and outcomes differ between patients. Hair transplant growth develops gradually over several months. Non-surgical options may require a series of sessions and continued maintenance before progress can be properly evaluated.

The result may be influenced by:

• The cause and stage of hair loss
• Donor-hair availability
• Hair calibre and characteristics
• Scalp health
• Treatment selection
• Individual biological response
• Adherence to aftercare
• Continued progression of existing hair loss

We believe patients should review documented results with context. Before-and-after cases should explain which treatment was performed, the approximate timeline and whether combination therapies were used.
