What is Trichology?

Trichology is a branch of dermatology focused on the scientific study of the hair and scalp. A Certified Trichologist is a trained specialist who can help determine the underlying cause(s) of hair loss and scalp issues and recommend effective treatment options. Trichology is a paramedical field, much like a nutritionist, therefore trichologists often work with other medical professionals when additional testing or prescriptions are needed.
