Why you need a Trichologist in Singapore?

Ever wondered what a trichologist in Singapore does?

We got you covered. In this article, we’re going to answer your most common queries regarding trichologists so you won’t have to spend countless hours researching.

Sounds reasonable? Sweet.

Let’s begin.

What does a trichologist do?

Basically, Trichology is the study of diseases or problems related to the hair and scalp, as well as their treatments. And a specialist who concentrates on Trichology is called a trichologist. It’s that simple.

A trichologist is a person who specializes in the study and understanding of hair and how it grows. They examine the relationship between hair and the human body to find out the reasons for hair loss, thinning, breaking, and color changes.

Trichologists also do tests to diagnose the type of fungus or bacteria in a person’s hair. These tests, called microscopic exam and culture, help identify different types of fungi and bacteria that can lead to an allergic reaction or cause dandruff or other symptoms. Trichologists also conduct these same tests if they’re trying to identify a fungus or bacteria that’s causing baldness in people with alopecia.

Is a trichologist a doctor?

Trichologists are not physicians and cannot prescribe drugs or perform medical or surgical procedures but can diagnose and make recommendations for treatment to people who are having hair-related problems, such as hair loss or scalp conditions.

The word “trichologist” means hair scientist. A trichologist is a hair specialist who has studied hair and scalp diseases, hair loss, and hair care. Trichologists are usually not doctors, but they might have to be well-versed in medical knowledge.

Can a trichologist help with hair growth?

A trichologist can help with any underlying conditions that may prevent your hair from growing. Some of the reasons that are attributed to poor hair growth are genetic factors, aging and stress. It is also found in studies that an unhealthy diet and bad environmental conditions hold responsible for slowing down the growth of hair.

How much does it cost to see a trichologist?

A trichologist is a specialist in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of hair loss. The cost of a consultation can depend on the geographical location.

Consultation costs around S$55 to a few hundred depending on the severity of your hair conditions. Your first trichology consultation does not require laboratory results. Lab tests can help identify problems that may trigger any underlying hair conditions but trichologists will let you know during a consultation if it is necessary.
