Hair Services Overview

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, medical conditions, and even nutritional deficiencies. At our Kelowna clinic, Dr. Garnis-Jones takes a personalized approach to diagnosing the root cause of your hair loss, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment.

How We Diagnose Hair Loss

Before recommending a treatment, we conduct a thorough assessment that may include:
✔️ A scalp examination
✔️ A review of your medical history
✔️ Blood tests to check for underlying conditions
✔️ A discussion about lifestyle and dietary factors

Our Hair Loss & Regrowth Treatments

Once the cause of your hair loss is identified, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments to promote regrowth and strengthen existing hair, including:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy is an advanced, natural treatment that uses your own blood platelets to stimulate hair growth. Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
2️⃣ The PRP is injected into thinning areas of your scalp.
3️⃣ These growth factors help repair and rejuvenate hair follicles, improving hair thickness and density over time.

🔬 Studies show that PRP can slow hair loss and promote regrowth, particularly for individuals with thinning hair rather than complete baldness.

💡 Best for: Early-stage hair loss, thinning hair, and individuals looking for a non-surgical, natural regrowth solution.

Scalp Health & Microneedling

A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong, healthy hair. We offer scalp treatments and microneedling to optimize follicle function and enhance hair growth.

✔️ Deep Scalp Cleansing & Exfoliation – Removes buildup, dead skin, and excess oil to create a healthier environment for hair to grow.

✔️ Microneedling Therapy – A minimally invasive procedure that creates tiny micro-injuries in the scalp to stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and boost the absorption of hair growth serums.

✔️ Medical-Grade Serums & Growth Factors – Can be applied to the scalp to nourish follicles and support stronger, thicker hair growth.

💡 Best for: Weak, thinning hair, slow hair growth, and patients looking to enhance topical treatments.

Topical & Prescription Treatments

Medications are one of the most common and clinically proven ways to slow hair loss and promote regrowth. At our Kelowna clinic, we offer:

✔️ Minoxidil (Rogaine®) – A topical solution that increases blood flow to the scalp, stimulates hair follicles, and prolongs the growth phase of hair. Suitable for both men and women.

✔️ Finasteride (Propecia®) – An oral medication that blocks DHT, a hormone linked to male pattern baldness. It helps prevent further hair loss and may encourage regrowth.

✔️ Other Prescription Options – Depending on your specific hair loss type, we may recommend hormonal treatments, anti-inflammatory medications, or compounded topical solutions tailored to your needs.

💡 Best for: Androgenetic alopecia (male & female pattern baldness), early-stage hair loss, and maintaining existing hair.

Nutritional & Lifestyle Counseling

Many people don’t realize that diet, stress, and overall health play a major role in hair loss. Our holistic approach includes:

🍎 Nutritional Guidance – We help you identify deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin D, or biotin) that could be affecting hair growth.

🧘 Stress Management – Chronic stress can trigger or worsen hair loss. We provide guidance on stress reduction techniques to help support healthy hair growth.

🥗 Dietary & Supplement Recommendations – If needed, we suggest hair-supporting supplements that can strengthen follicles and improve scalp health.

💡 Best for: Hair loss linked to poor nutrition, stress, or underlying health conditions.

Is Hair Regrowth Possible for You?

Hair loss affects everyone differently, and not all cases allow for complete regrowth. While some patients see significant improvement with treatment, others may not experience full hair restoration—especially in cases of advanced hair loss or scarring conditions.

However, even if regrowth isn’t possible, early intervention can slow or stop further hair loss, helping you maintain the hair you have for longer. The key is understanding your type of hair loss and choosing the right treatment plan.

Dr. Garnis-Jones will assess your scalp, medical history, and hair loss pattern to determine:
✔️ Whether regrowth is possible in your case
✔️ The best treatment options to restore or preserve your hair
✔️ Preventative measures to stop further thinning

The first step toward hair regrowth is a professional evaluation. Dr. Garnis-Jones provides personalized assessments to identify the best treatment for your unique hair loss concerns.

During a hair loss consultation, Dr. Garnis-Jones examines their hair and carefully examines a patient’s medical history. Before making a diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan for their hair loss, Dr. Garnis-Jones may need to request extensive blood tests to determine if part of the hair loss problem is related to hormone issues or other internal problems such as a lack of vitamins. In some cases a biopsy will need to be taken of the scalp. Typically, there is a 3-4 week wait for the results of blood tests and biopsy’s. We understand the time-sensitive nature of losing your hair and appreciate the patience required for the dermatologist to make the necessary investigations.
