TRICHOLOGY SERVICES
INITIAL CONSULTATION

DETAILED HISTORY & CONCERNS
During your consultation a detailed patient history will be taken. Your concerns will be thoroughly discussed, along with your medical history, nutrition, lifestyle, hair care practices and family history. Our priority is ensuring patients feel heard and understood, we understand that patients may be nervous so we focus on creating a caring and relaxed environment.
EXAMINATION & TRICHOSCOPY
If you feel comfortable, a gentle but thorough examination of your hair and scalp will be done. A specialist digital microscope called a trichoscope will be used to study the health of the hair follicle and scalp surface. Analysis of hair diameter may also be performed, along with clinical photography for monitoring and referral purposes.
DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT & REFERRALS
Your diagnosis will then be clearly explained along with your options for treatment and recommendations for managing the condition.
