About Trichology

Trichology is the science that studies the diagnosis and treatment of problems of the hair, scalp and hair follicles, which lead to symptoms of dandruff, texture problems, hair loss and other serious conditions. In plain English, a Trichologist is a person who studies the hair and scalp and makes recommendations.

The name trichology stems from the Greek word 'tricos', which means 'hair' and the suffix 'ology', which means 'the study of'. The pathology treats the diseases that affect human hair whilst focusing on the process of regrowing hair.

What are the risk factors for problems of the scalp and hair?

The head is one of the main areas of our body and is constantly subjected to different factors that can harm the health of our hair or scalp like the sun, hair styling products or other causes such as vitamin deficiency or stress.

Such factors can alter the nervous and vascular irrigation system of the head causing ageing and early impoverishment of the skin and hair. The different techniques of trichology consist of treating the hair as an extension of the skin and improving its health.

One of the most common types of scalp condition involves hair loss or damage. This can range from a complete loss of hair to easy breakages or small patches of hair loss: Male pattern baldness is common in men and occurs because of genetics and male sex hormones.

Problems with hair texture can be caused by over exposure to heat or strong chemicals, or by many of the other stresses and strains to which we subject our hair. In such cases, hair texture problems usually respond very well to appropriate advice and treatments given by a professional Trichologist.
