What is a Trichologist?

A Trichologist is a specialist that focuses on trichology which is the study of disorders and problems of the scalp, hair, and hair loss as well as their treatments.

To become a Trichologist one must get specialized training and become certified. Though trichologists are not physicians, they can examine the hair and scalp usually with a microscope to identify the disorder or type of hair loss and recommend treatments or refer a client to a physician for medical treatment if necessary.
