Revive Your Hair Today!

Trichology is the scientific study of the hair and scalp in regards to its disorders and diseases.  It stems from the Greek word ‘trichos’, meaning ‘hair’.

A trichologist specializes in all matters relating to hair and scalp health. They provide a prognosis, identify, and help treat all forms of hair loss, hair shaft, and scalp disorders. Trichologists are often the first to recognize early signs of internal imbalances that manifest through the hair and scalp.

During a consultation, a trichologist will conduct a comprehensive assessment, which includes a detailed health and lifestyle history, as well as a scalp and hair analysis using a specialized microscope. This allows for a clearer understanding of the issue and helps determine the most suitable treatment plan. If the underlying cause of the condition lies outside the trichologist’s scope, they will refer the client to the appropriate medical professionals, such as dermatologists, endocrinologists, or primary care physicians.

While trichologists are not typically licensed healthcare providers, they have in-depth knowledge of body systems, hormonal health, nutrition, genetics, product chemistry, and environmental factors that can influence hair and scalp conditions.

Trichologists gain their qualifications by completing a trichology certification program. I received my certification through the International Association of Trichologists (IAT)—a globally recognized and respected institution in the field.

A trichologist helps people who have problems with their hair or scalp. A person may complain of sudden excessive hair loss from all over the scalp, a bald patch which has suddenly appeared, or itching and excessive scaling of the scalp. You don’t have to have a hair problem to consult a trichologist: many people choose to do so because they want advice on keeping their hair and scalp in tip top condition and so reduce the risk of hair loss.

 Dermatologists are valuable medical professionals, but they often:

• See patients for very short appointments
• Don't always investigate lifestyle, nutrition, or hair care products
• Dermatologists often wait until hair loss is visibly advanced to intervene, typically relying on medications like minoxidil, finasteride, or corticosteroid injections. In contrast, I offer a more natural, holistic approach—focusing on early intervention, root-cause analysis, and personalized, non-pharmaceutical treatment plans tailored to each individual.

Before your appointment, you’ll complete a detailed questionnaire covering your lifestyle, diet, hair care routine, medications, and family history of hair or scalp conditions. This helps provide a comprehensive understanding of factors that may influence your hair and scalp health.

During the consultation, I will review your concerns and perform a thorough scalp and hair assessment using a specialized microscope (50x–200x magnification) to closely observe the scalp, follicles, and hair shafts.

Based on these observations, I will provide educational guidance and personalized recommendations for hair care, styling, and wellness routines, and may informationally suggest dietary changes or over-the-counter supplements that could support healthy hair.
