Trichology · Hair and scalp consultation

Understand what is happening with your hair.

We use AI trichoscopy to examine the scalp, helping us assess follicle activity, density, inflammation, early thinning patterns and signs that may explain what is happening beneath the surface.

Clarity before treatment

See the details. Understand the pattern. Build a considered plan.

We examine your scalp under magnification to assess condition, follicle activity, density, inflammation and early thinning patterns.

We share your results in clear, visual language so you can ask questions, address common myths and understand what may be happening beneath the surface.

Questions, answered

Trichology consultation FAQ.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You can book directly. If your presentation needs medical investigation or collaborative care, we will explain the most appropriate next step.

What concerns can be assessed?

We can explore shedding, thinning, androgenetic loss, alopecia, irritation, dandruff, itchiness, excess oil and other scalp conditions affecting hair health.

How should I prepare?

Avoid heavy styling products on the day. Bring recent blood tests or medical reports if available, along with a list of medications and supplements, so we can consider them in context.

Will I receive an answer on the day?

We can often identify patterns during your consultation. Some cases need pathology, medical investigation or referral before we can reach a definitive conclusion.

Are consultations available across genders?

Yes. We tailor the assessment and recommendations to your biology, medical history, current presentation and treatment goals.

How soon should I book after noticing hair loss?

Earlier assessment can be helpful because some concerns are more responsive before prolonged follicle changes occur.

Can the consultation tell me whether my hair can regrow?

Every presentation is different. We use the assessment to give you an honest, individual view of whether stabilisation, improvement or regrowth appears realistic; outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
