What is Trichology?
Trichology is a scientific discipline that encompasses all scientific studies, technology, medical treatment and cosmetic care methods carried out to investigate, identify and treat problems related to hair and scalp. The term Trichology, derived from the word “Trichos”, was first used in the 1860s to refer to the science of hair.
Trichology includes the scientific study of hair and scalp problems, as well as the scientific basis of hair reconstruction methods and cosmetic care. Research in this field aims to develop more effective treatment and care methods for hair health and aesthetics.
What is a Trichologist? What Does It Treat?
Trichologists are specialists who specialize in hair and scalp problems, examining and treating conditions that occur in these areas.
Trichologists play a role in making the correct diagnosis in hair treatments by working together with specialist hair physicians.
Hair thinning
One of the first signs to raise awareness of hair problems is when the hair starts to thin. When the scalp becomes visible, it indicates the onset of baldness and affects the aesthetic appearance of the head. Hair loss is a common concern for men and women of all ages.
Itchy and flaky scalp
If you notice excessive dandruff, red spots and irritation on the scalp, you should consult a trichologist. Excessive dryness of the scalp is a condition that can increase hair loss. Consulting a hair specialist can help control the problem effectively.
Abnormal hair loss
If you are experiencing abnormal hair loss, it is important to consult a specialist. It is important to identify the cause of excessive hair loss and apply the right treatment to stop it. A visit to a trichologist can help identify the problem and guide you in taking the right steps to reduce hair loss over time.
Baldness
Over time, bald spots may form as the hairline recedes. It is important to treat baldness at the initial stage so that it does not affect the scalp completely. Consulting a hair specialist trained in hair transplantation can help you evaluate the most effective ways to restore hair growth.
Because trichologists are paramedical specialists, they work with your doctor to make sure that your treatment options suit your needs.
