Hair Experts

First of all, I want you to fully understand how the field of hair specialists actually works. The next few paragraphs explain the basics. Please read and you will see why I am writing this. A hair doctor doesn’t really exist. There are some General Practitioners out there that have an interest in hair science. Also some have qualifications in trichology.

Let me tell you that as a rule GP’s don’t have much experience in dealing with hair loss. There of course will be some exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, most will refer you to a dermatologist and not a trichologist. Why is that you may ask? Well, this is simple because your GP is fully aware that there are many so called trichologists who have taken an online course. There are some courses that you can attend over 1 day or maybe two. Ridiculous is the word don’t you think? Sadly there is very little regulations when calling yourself a hair doctor.

Fake Hair Specialists.

Did you know that you can purchase a PHD on line and call yourself a hair doctor? Be warned there are many that call themselves hair doctors and have no real qualifications. Furthermore they are a risk to you!. Believe me, I have seen many horror stories in the many years Ive been in practice.

OK so what regulations are there?

Well there are two main regulatory body’s that govern the field of hair science. The first being the Institute of Trichology )MIT). The second is the Trichological Society (TTS). Being the Deputy Registrar to the Trichological Society I am perhaps a little biased. Perhaps rightly so as I know there is a clear difference between the two qualifications. Consequently you will find that most Trichologists with the TTS have medical backgrounds. Perhaps already a GP or nurse. Maybe holding a medical qualification in another medical discipline. You will find that the MIT is geared towards hair dressers and like qualifications. Hence both MIT and TTS graduates will offer a good service. While I believe a TTS graduates knowledge is far greater hence you will get I my view a better service.

A Trichologist

Maybe I have confused you? Furthermore who is the right “hair Doctor” to see if I am loosing my hair or I am suffering from a itchy scalp conditions? Firstly, you can see your GP. Likewise see a dermatologist? But are they going to help? Maybe you have seen one of these professionals? It seems like most patients that I see have done this route. In contrast some patients want to go straight to a hair loss or scalp specialist. I am a trichologist. Trained with the TTS or over 5 years. I have been teaching the subject for many years as well. A trichologist is an expert in hair loss and scalp disease. Furthermore, we know how to advise and if appropriate offer the right treatment.
