Trichology is a medical term that refers to the study of the hair and scalp, as well as the problems that can arise from them. It covers the complete range of hair and scalp problems, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities.
A trichologist appointment lasts 60-90 minutes and includes going over your entire medical history as well as discussing every element of your lifestyle, including nutrition, stress, medications, and your scalp problem.
The state of your hair might reveal a lot about your way of living. Hair that is full and shiny is often associated with a healthy lifestyle, whereas dull and lifeless hair is often associated with a stressful, unhealthy lifestyle.
