Trichology and Hair Restoration Treatments
What is Trichology?
Trichology is the scientific study of the hair and scalp. It’s considered the bridge between dermatology and cosmetology. Trichology is a para-medical field that focuses on identifying and helping manage hair loss and scalp disorders.
What makes a trichologist stand out from other hair loss practioners?
For trichologists there is no one size fits all treatment for hair loss. Everyone is unique as is their concern. Going beyond the standard minoxidil and Propecia, trichologists offer a variety of science based, effective treatments with cutting edge ingredients. Hair loss is caused by internal factors, and we try and get to the bottom of those factors so we are not just covering the cause, we are uncovering the cause.

Trichology is a holistic, para-medical field. It is not an MD but someone who has the deep knowledge to help with hair loss and scalp disorders with out the use of prescription medications or invasive surgeries.

Anyone suffering with any type of hair loss or scalp condition that is looking for a more in depth and personalized experience to help with their condition.

While some dermatologists focus on the hair and scalp, most dermatologists focus more on the skin and related disorders, and cosmetic procedures. A trichologist focuses solely on the hair and scalp and while we cannot prescribe medication, we have many other personalized tools for helping people that can be far more effective. We are concerned with getting to the root cause of the concern with a personalized approach and treatments that go beyond minoxidil and propecia.

Trichologists have a very thorough consultation process so we can give each client a personalized experience and get to the root cause of your hair concern. Here is a look at the consultation process:
1. Client begins by filling out a detailed consultation form to give as much information as possible into factors surrounding their hair loss or scalp condition. You can send along bloodwork as well as I can look at this in an trichology focused and optimal way to look for anything pertaining to the hair and scalp.
2. We will go over the form in person to make sure we covered everything, and there is always plenty of time for further concerns or questions.
3.An Epigenetic Hair Follicle test from For Healthy Cells is performed giving us a 30 page overview of things like vitamins and minerals as well as environmental factors that are affecting the hair or scalp. This is a cutting edge technology that goes beyond traditional blood testing. 4 hairs with the bulb gives us insight into over 800 biological stressors that are having a negative impact on our hair and scalp.
4. We do a hands on examination of the hair and scalp as well as microscopic examination with a trichoscope that allows us to look at the hair and scalp highly magnified. This gives us valuable insight into your condition.
5. I may suggest further testing to make sure we are getting to the bottom of what is causing your concern.
6. I will give my best assessment as to what is causing and what is your hair loss or scalp concern. Further testing or referrals to other doctors may be recommended.
7.Customized treatments are recommended based on your unique factors, budget and lifestyle.

Some types of hair loss require daily maintenance in order to be managed. This consists of topical products and/or daily nutrients. I have carefully chosen only the best, most effective products to use in my clinic.
Low Level Light Therapy (Red light therapy)
Low level light therapy is an FDA cleared, scientifically proven method of treatment for hair loss and regrowing hair. It can be used alone and is even better when used with other treatments. It uses low intensity light at specific wave lengths to stimulate cellular activity which is necessary for stimulating hair growth. I proudly recommend Capillus Laser Caps which are of the highest quality and effectivness, using only true red light diodes. In clinic treatments are also available.
