A trichologist is a specialist in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hair and scalp disorders. This branch of dermatology focuses on issues such as hair loss, thinning hair, itching, dandruff, infections, and other scalp conditions.
A trichologist evaluates the health of the hair and scalp by listening to the patient’s concerns and performing various diagnostic tests to determine the underlying causes of hair problems. They treat hair issues in both children and adults.
Treatment methods may include medications, topical applications, hair mesotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and other advanced techniques. Trichologists create personalized treatment plans aimed at stimulating hair growth, restoring scalp health, and preventing future hair problems.
These specialists work in dermatology clinics, specialized hair treatment centers, and hospitals. Their main goal is to maintain patients’ hair and scalp health, improve aesthetic appearance, and enhance quality of life.
