Trichology Consultation
Hair Loss, Hair Thinning & Scalp Conditions
Hair loss can affect both men and women, often raising similar concerns about the health and condition of their hair and scalp. Without understanding the underlying reasons, hair loss can lead to increased stress and anxiety, potentially worsening the issue.
Trichology is the scientific study of hair and scalp health, focusing on hair growth, hair loss, and related scalp conditions. This comprehensive approach helps diagnose and treat various hair and scalp concerns effectively.
