About Robert Jones, M.D.
Male pattern baldness is an unavoidable condition for many men. One third of all men experience some form of hair loss by age 45, and researchers believe that 80% of these cases are hereditary. Recently, scientists studying the causes of hair loss in adult men discovered a genetic abnormality that they conclusively linked to a seven-fold increase in the risk of developing male pattern baldness.
Researchers from McGill University, King’s College London, and GlaxoSmithKline found a gene mutation in chromosome 20 that they believe is the root cause of hereditary hair loss in men. The established theory that baldness is inherited from the mother’s side of the family helped scientists to identify a link between the genetic variation in the X chromosome and male hair loss. Despite researchers uncovering a genetic cause of hair loss, a cure is most likely 8 to 10 years away from being discovered.
In an interview with CTV News, Dr. Robert Jones, a hair transplant specialist from Ontario, Canada, pointed out that there really is no way to “turn off” the hair loss gene, and therefore, a cure for male pattern baldness does not currently exist. A pioneer in his field, Dr. Robert Jones employs a variety of treatment options to help his patients deal with hair loss, from shampoos, topical scalp treatments, and medication to state-of-the-art hair grafting techniques. Dr. Jones is best known for his use of a treatment method called Follicular Unit Extraction. FUE is a transplant method that consists of removing individual hairs from a donor area on the patient’s body, such as the chest, and placing the tiny “plugs” on balding areas of the scalp. Although the procedure is more costly than other hair loss treatments and usually requires multiple transplantation sessions, Follicular Unit Extraction produces natural-looking and permanent results.

A hair transplant specialist based in Ontario, Canada, Robert Jones, M.D. provides patients with a wide array of options to address hair loss at every stage. Many of Dr. Jones’ patients choose to undergo Follicular Unit Extraction, an innovative procedure in which donor hairs are removed from one location and are then transplanted onto the scalp. Dr. Robert Jones was one of the first hair replacement experts to utilize this technique in 2002, quickly perfecting the method to achieve incredibly natural looking results. Although Follicular Unit Extraction can prove an optimal solution for moderate to severe hair loss, a portion of Dr. Jones clientele prefer to employ topical hair strengthening and growth solutions.
Dr. Robert Jones offers numerous hair care products specially formulated to combat hair loss, with Dr. Robert Jones Instant Hair Thickening Fiber as one of the most popular. Gentle on the scalp and extremely simple to apply, Instant Hair Thickening Fiber is recommended for both men and women. Made from keratin protein fibers that are charged with static electricity, Instant Hair Thickening Fiber is safe and non-toxic. By simply shaking a container filled with the fibers over a thinning area, one instantaneously notices a positive aesthetic change.

Instant Hair Thickening Fiber is also easy to remove, washing out with shampoo and water.
