What’s causing my hair loss?
Okay, it’s time for a quick science lesson (don’t worry, there won’t be a quiz). Ever heard of dihydrotestosterone? Let’s call it DHT for simplicity. This sneaky little androgen hormone, derived from testosterone, is strongly linked to hair loss, and could be what’s sabotaging your scalp. Variations in androgen receptor (AR) genes can make some individuals more susceptible to DHT’s effects. When DHT binds to receptors in hair follicles, it can shorten the growth cycle and shrink follicles, resulting in thinner, more fragile strands of hair that take longer to regrow. Of course there are a long list of factors that may affect hair loss like genetics, health issues, deficiencies, hormone levels, and more. Learn more with this link.

How to find hair loss cures that actually work
If you’ve been watching your locks go from long and full to less than lovely, you’re not alone. More than half of all men struggle with hair loss or thinning, and women aren’t a stranger to hair concerns either — often seeing hair loss as a result of aging, genetics, hormonal fluctuations, or other common factors. Inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia or male/female pattern hair loss) may result in various patterns of thinning, balding, or receding.
Jump on a quick Google search and you’ll find a dizzying array of snake oil-type hair loss “cures.” From antiquated hair plugs and serums to unsupported claims for magic cures, it can be hard to know where to turn. It’s a jungle out there, filled with empty promises that span miracle shampoos and mediocre meds. You might have friends who have gone to great lengths, even travelling internationally, in pursuit of promising yet potentially risky procedures. These endeavours are physically taxing and financially and emotionally demanding, especially when one’s primary goal is to achieve reliable results through safe, proven methods.
So how do we navigate the complex landscape of hair loss treatments to select a solution that is both effective and trustworthy?
How to navigate the noise to find real hair restoration solutions:
Find trusted, professional sources
Anyone can create a website or make lofty claims, so make sure you’re looking into the professionals you’re entrusting with your health and beauty. Choose someone who has a proven track record of excellent patient care and success. Read reviews, ask for qualifications and experience, check out their education and training, and ask for a consultation first before committing.
Come to your consultation with questions and clearly set expectations
Your hair loss professional should understand the nuanced reasons for hair loss, and be well equipped to craft a custom hair plan that’s unique to your needs and goals. They should be confident in answering your questions, and setting real expectations for what you can expect to see, complete with timelines and transparent pricing–including financing plans. Make sure you’re completely comfortable with the folks you’re entrusting with this big decision.
Not all scalps are equal
A true professional understands each hair type and skin type, and can give you a sense of how likely your hair is to repopulate or restore based on the phase your hair loss is in. Hair loss is personal and your plan should reflect that.
Beware of the empty promise or unresearched claim
Ask questions to get to the root (no pun intended) of the procedure you’re getting. Be wary of a product that seems too good to be true or doesn’t have science-based evidence to support it.
Recognizing this challenge, we’re excited to introduce a cutting-edge, long-term solution for hair loss that surpasses existing options in efficacy and results.
How do we effectively use robots to restore your roots?
FORM Face + Body is proudly strutting its stuff as the first clinic in Ontario to offer hair restoration that’s fully powered by state-of-the-art robotics and artificial intelligence. We pair the most innovative, forward-thinking technology with highly trained, skilled surgeons who come equipped with a thorough understanding of hair rejuvenation. This duo offers our patients the power of science and technology, paired with human insight. It’s like sending your hair follicles to Harvard and then giving them a job at NASA; the wisdom, experience, and personal touch of an expert especially trained in hair rejuvenation paired with the most innovative hair restoration technology in Canada.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): A revolutionary solution for hair restoration
Our innovative ARTAS® iXi technology employs precise, accurate movements to harvest healthy hair follicles and restore a vibrant hairline without compromising existing hair. Using artificial intelligence that would make Siri jealous, ARTAS identifies the best hair follicles for harvesting with the precision of a surgeon and immaculate training to create a natural-looking growth pattern.
This method significantly outperforms traditional handheld techniques used by most clinics. Why? In short, humans are imperfect. No human hand, no matter how steady, can match the consistent perfection of our robotic hair restoration system. Even the most skilled surgeon will naturally, slightly shift in precision after 3 hours in a procedure, hand-picking the best hair follicles to extract. By supporting our team with precision-based technology, we make sure every single hair is the best possible one to regenerate and spark regrowth to ensure accuracy and optimization every single time.
What can I expect from my FUE hair restoration procedure?
- Precise follicle selection using AI algorithms, consistent and natural-looking results, improved survival rates for transplanted follicles, and reduced risk of human error or imperfect follicle selection.
- The FUE procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the process. Many individuals choose to relax by listening to music, enjoying a podcast, or watching their favourite shows while their hair gets the VIP treatment.
- Recovery time is relatively short, with most patients returning to work within 2-5 days and experiencing full healing within two weeks. The robotic approach results in minimal scarring compared to traditional methods.
- The FUE process begins with a comprehensive consultation and hairline assessment with Dr. Brandt. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your goals and concerns, undergo a scalp and hair evaluation, and receive a customized hair growth plan tailored to your needs.
- The treatment itself involves the harvesting and restoration of hair follicles using the ARTAS System’s advanced technology, ensuring optimal site distribution and minimizing damage to healthy hair.
How much does FUE hair restoration cost?
The cost of FUE typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000, so we’re not talking about pocket change here; but this procedure represents a valuable investment in your appearance and self-confidence and one of the best gifts you can give your future self.
At FORM Face + Body, you benefit from advanced technology and expertise that deliver superior, natural-looking results. Can you really put a price on confidence? This transformation pays dividends every time you look in the mirror or run your fingers through your hair.
