What is Trichology?
Trichology is the branch of medical science dedicated to the diagnosis, management and treatment of conditions affecting the hair, scalp and hair follicles. A healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair growth, making early assessment important for identifying the underlying cause of hair and scalp disorders.
The term trichology derives from the Greek word trichos, meaning “hair”, and the suffix ology, meaning “the study of”. Trichologists specialise in investigating the causes of hair loss, hair thinning, scalp irritation and other conditions affecting the hair cycle, providing personalised treatment plans to help restore scalp health and encourage healthy hair regrowth.
Hair and scalp disorders may be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, autoimmune diseases, medications or underlying medical conditions. A comprehensive trichology consultation helps determine the most appropriate treatment for each individual.
