FAQ
Is hair loss natural? I noticed that I’m losing hair, should I be worrying?
Every day we lose about 20-100 hairs naturally (150-600 per week) and this is part of normal physiology. It is common to notice hair loss whilst washing. Our certified trichologist who is a consultant of Cesare Ragazzi Laboratory is trained to recognize whether the rate of loss is cause for concern or normal. Make an appointment and we will customize treatment to meet your specific hair loss situation.

Why should I see a trichologist if I have already seen a dermatologist?
Trichology is a sub-derivative of dermatology. Both types of specialists are trained in recognizing problems in the hair and scalp. The Trichology specialist is versed in hair loss and scalp disorders and the approach is a proven naturopath that takes a holistic view of the individual. Trichology treatments can immediately address problems as well as optimize the overall health, growth and beauty of hair. Dermatology is a straight forward conventional western medicine approach to control the problem. We work with dermatologists to properly diagnose conditions that cause fibrosing conditions (scarring). A scalp biopsy performed by a qualified dermatologist will determine if the follicles in question are available for growth.
