'Trichology is the study and practice concerned with hair and scalp disorders and hair condition problems.'
A Trichologist is not qualified to diagnose medical disorders, but in the course of analysing a scalp or hair condition, we have found that there is often a link to medical conditions.
The complex reasons for hair and scalp problems require an in depth knowledge of your lifestyle and results in the need for questions regarding diet, medical background covering the use of medication (both prescribed and over the counter) and family history. Openness is the key to an accurate diagnosis. All information is kept strictly confidential.
What happens during an analysis?
A sample of hair will be taken for microscopic examination to establish and confirm the health of the hair and its root.
At the end of the consultation you will be given a professional opinion on the cause and also an explanation of possible treatments.
The Hair Doctor believes that the cause of hair and scalp problems can also be linked to the physical and emotional health of the individual and the correct treatments must be individually tailored to these conditions.
