Otherwise known as a ‘hair doctor’, Trichologists are trained in life sciences and can evaluate hair loss issues, authorise medications and treat as needed. While many people see a Trichologist about their hair loss before they see their GP, what ever route you take, Trichologists will work with your GP to ensure you receive the right treatment.

Emily can help determine the exact cause of your hair loss, allowing you to choose there best treatment for your need. In cases of scalp disorders, Emily can prescribe treatments in the form of creams and shampoos which can be used in the clinic or at home.

These products must be used under the instruction of your Trichologist.

Treatments can be done at our Chester Trichologist clinic.

A Trichologist consultation with our registered Trichologist will take one hour, occasionally the appointment will run over this hour however you will not be charged for any additional time. This will include going through your full medical history and discussing every aspect of your lifestyle including: diet, stress, medications and your hair/scalp issue.

A thorough examination of your scalp is carried out which may include; photographs being taken, hair samples being taken and your scalp being looked at under a Tricoscope. Sometimes blood work may be requested which can be done through the NHS or privately. 

You will be given a preliminary diagnosis and a hypothesis as to why you have hair loss. Emily will decide on the correct course of treatment based on all factors discussed, and, if she thinks you may have an underlying medical issue causing your hair loss, she will refer you to a GP or Dermatologist.
