There are a number of issues surrounding hair and scalp health that can be incredibly debilitating for both men and women, from hair loss and alopecia, to thinning hair and hair breakage. Fortunately, there are as many helpful solutions as there are problems, and a qualified Trichologist may be the best person to help restore your confidence and your hair and scalp health. Trichologists are specialists in hair loss, having studied a wide range of conditions and medical problems that affect the hair and scalp.
If you’re concerned about the health of your hair or scalp, or both, you should make an appointment to see a private GP, such as Dr Johannes Uys, who can listen to your concerns and refer you to a Trichologist.
What is a Trichologist?
Studying human hair and the scalp through a combination of biology and chemistry, trichologists learn how healthy hair should grow from a mechanical and chemical perspective, putting them in the perfect position to help patients find ways to deal with hair loss.
Trichologists also carry out research into various hair products, to help them understand how they might effect the health of a person’s hair and scalp. Knowing everything there is to know about hair growth and hair health, they take a holistic approach to help individuals see the bigger picture in terms of their hair health, while compiling a plan for treatment for them that will restore their hair and help it grow in a healthy way.
When might a person seek help from a Trichologist?
Generally speaking, people tend to visit a trichologist when they experience one, or several, of the following:
- Hair loss
- Hair thinning
- Hair breakage
- Alopecia
- Dandruff
- Other scalp problems
With their expertise, a Trichologist can help diagnose any number of hair and scalp related conditions that you may be suffering from, and provide you with a range of treatments and solutions to address the issue and improve your hair and scalp health.
Ageing, changes to your diet, stress, or environmental factors can all cause you to feel dissatisfied, worried, upset, or even angry about the condition of your hair and scalp, but with help from a certified Trichologist available to everyone nowadays, you can start to tackle the situation in a proactive way.
That said, even if you don’t have a specific problem or concern related to your hair or scalp, but would simply like to know how to keep it looking and feeling healthy, a Trichologist can help.
Do you need to see a Trichologist?
It’s important to remember that just because Trichology doesn’t provide those who study it with a medical certification, doesn’t mean that someone who is qualified in it can’t offer you the most effective treatment and solutions for a wide range of hair and scalp health concerns. In fact, they have a lot more experience and knowledge than dermatologists or GPs when it comes to hair problems. That said, a great place to start when searching for a reliable Trichologist, is with a private GP in London, who will not only refer to you one, but who will refer you to one as soon as possible.
Hair loss can cause great emotional and social stress, but with the help of a qualified Trichologist, you can start resolving your issues and work actively towards restoring the health of your hair or scalp, or both.
