What is Trichology? A Guide to Healthy Hair and Scalp

Trichology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study of the hair and scalp. It looks at hair loss, scalp conditions, and how to keep your hair healthy.

Have you ever struggled with thinning hair, dandruff, or an itchy scalp? 

Trichology has the answers. As someone who used to have super dry, flaky skin on my scalp, I know firsthand how frustrating hair problems can be. But after seeing a trichologist, my scalp is now healthy as can be!A trichologist is like a hair doctor. They use special cameras and tools to take a close look at your scalp and diagnose any issues. Common problems they treat include:

  • Hair loss (alopecia)
  • Oily or dry scalp
  • Dandruff
  • Psoriasis
  • Hair breakage
  • Fungal infections

Did you know that we lose 50-100 hairs a day on average? That’s totally normal. But if you’re losing a lot more than that, a trichologist can help figure out why and recommend treatments to get your hair growing again.Treatments vary depending on the issue but may include:

  • Special shampoos or scalp treatments
  • Nutrients and supplements for hair growth
  • Low-level laser therapy to stimulate hair follicles
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
  • Lifestyle and diet changes

If you’re in Mississauga or Vancouver and looking for top-notch trichology services, I highly recommend The Hair and Scalp Clinic or Papilla Haircare. 

Both have experienced teams who really know their stuff when it comes to hair health.The best part about seeing a trichologist? You learn so much about how to take care of your hair and scalp at home. My trichologist taught me the right way to shampoo, how to pick the best products for my hair type, which foods help hair grow, and more techniques like even body massages in Mississauga . It’s like getting a personalized hair care education just like getting a japan head spa (Check them out if you’re in Mississauga or Toronto) ! In the end, trichology is all about having a healthy head of hair that looks and feels great. 

If you’re struggling with hair or scalp issues, don’t wait – book an appointment with a trichologist near you. Your hair will thank you!
