Trichologists specialize in hair and scalp skin disorders and diseases, hair loss and also hair beauty issues since Trichology is a subject of an aesthetic cosmetology where attention is given not only to various hair problems, but also to their best appearance. So Trichologist should diagnose a specific human hair and scalp disorder or disease and provide the best solution to it in form of any of today's avalable options, whichever suites the best to obtain an overall positive result. Although Trichology is not considered to be a part of clinical medicine, more doctors want to study and practice in this field. Trichology speciaists are often closely linked to the Dermatology, Cosmetology, Immunology and Endocrinology specialists since hair problems might be an external indication of more serious changes or violations of the internal body health, which may require further treatment, intensive care, etc. However, hair loss is not always a result of some internal diseases. It can be caused by various factors, such as poor nutrition, hormonal changes, emotional flactuations, inproper maintenance and many others. As we know already how many of those factors could possibly be applicable, only a Trichology "expert" can properly determine the nature of these problems and their solution. Always beware of "self-treatment" as the wrong choice of remedies may provoke more intense hair loss and cause further deterioration in a hair condition and a potential progression of the disease. So when should you see a Trichologist? When you are not satisfied with overall appearance of your hair - oily or dry scalp, itch, dandruff, hair loss, etc. - in order to substantially resolve the problem it is necessary to get a Trichologist consultation. After all, when you get a toothache you see a dentist, with face skin problems depending on their nature you will need a help from a Dermatologist or Cosmetologist. However, somehow we are quite rarely come up with an idea to see a specialist for a variety of hair and scalp disorders in order to get a professional advice on their treatment, prevention, care, etc.
