A trichologist is a certified specialist who focuses on the health of your hair and scalp, offering personalized solutions for hair loss, thinning, and various scalp disorders. Trichologists take a holistic approach, addressing the underlying causes of hair and scalp issues by considering multiple factors, including:

  1. Medications: Understanding how prescription or over-the-counter drugs may affect your hair and scalp.
  2. Diet and Nutrition: Evaluating nutrient intake to support healthy hair growth and a balanced scalp.
  3. Lifestyle: Addressing stress, sleep patterns, and daily habits that impact both hair and scalp health.
  4. Product Usage: Recommending products suited to your needs or identifying harmful ones causing irritation or damage.
  5. Health Conditions: Considering the role of underlying medical issues, such as hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, or chronic illnesses.

By addressing these factors, trichologists focus on improving both hair health and scalp wellness, creating a strong foundation for vibrant, healthy hair.
