FAQ
Who is a Trichologist?
A Trichologist is a certified hair and scalp specialist who diagnoses and treats hair loss and hair and scalp disorders. Clinical trichologists treat many different conditions ranging from simple dandruff (pityriasis capitis) to fairly rare genetic disorders and the consequences of endocrine dysfunction.
What about those ads about "quick fix" hair loss treatments?
There is no “quick fix” when it comes to hair loss. Hair loss can be permanent or temporary, self correcting or requiring therapy. It can also occur as one sign of a disease or it may be the only sign in an individual who appears to be healthy.
It takes careful assessment and observational skill of Trichologists to control the conditions. In many cases many “quick fix” hair products are made with dangerous substances, not worth the value, or simply don’t give you the desired results. This is why hair loss should be treated by professionals such as those found at Tricho-Theraphy Hair Centre.
