Dr. Ferreira graduated with honors from the University of Toronto pharmacology program in 1987. He was awarded the Andrew D Baines graduation award for the highest graduating marks in life sciences. He attended the faculty of medicine at the University of Toronto for the next four years. He then decided to pursue a career in academic emergency medicine. During his residency training he was elected chief resident twice and voted Intern of the Year”.

After years of emergency work, he was hoping to find an area of medicine where he could express his artistic creativity and work with his hands in a more technical skill.

After several years of extensive research, observation and training he accepted an offer to become the medical director of Sure Hair International in 2005. Sure Hair international had been performing follicular unit hair transplants for almost fifteen years. Since taking over the position, he has strived to continually improve the standards of performance. He has introduced various new techniques to meet a new higher standard of quality and workmanship.

These include: the stick and place technique for planting grafts which is in my opinion a better method for planting follicular unit grafts; a unique method of creating a trichophytic closure to camouflage donor incisions with hairs that grow through the incision; 25% better density; the “ gentle-touch” technique for administering anesthesia that is virtually painless; a seamless and undetectable method for creating perfectly natural hairlines. Furthermore, he personally supervises all transplants so that each transplant is a custom designed work that serves the patient both in the short term and long term. The end result is an ultra-refined hair transplant that is tailored to the specific needs of the patient.
