What Is Trichology?
Trichology is the para-medical science of the heir, hair loss and associated scalp problems. It encompasses the study of the diseases of the human hair and scalp, as well as the assessment of the cause(s) and treatment of these disorders.
Today, trichology is perceived as the “bridge between cosmetology and dermatology”
Like other para-medical (non-physician) health specialists such as nutritionists, a competent trichologist should work closely with your medical doctor to find out whether any medical problems are associated with your hair loss. Your physician should also be willing to work with your trichologist with respect to taking and analyzing blood tests that your trichologist suggests.
A competent trichologist should be able to genuinely empathize with you. Trihologist should also spend time advising you on how to best cope with your condition as part of the treatment regimen.
