What happens during an initial trichology consultation?
During your initial trichology consultation, Carmen will take a detailed history of your hair loss, shedding, scalp symptoms, health background, lifestyle factors, medications, hair care routine, and any previous treatments you may have tried.
Your scalp and hair will then be assessed using high-magnification trichoscopy. This allows Carmen to look more closely at the scalp, follicle openings, hair density, inflammation, scaling, and other visible clues that may help guide the next steps.
The consultation is designed to help identify possible contributing factors and give you a clearer understanding of what may be affecting your hair or scalp health.
What happens during a follow-up consultation?
During your follow-up consultation, Carmen will review your progress since your initial appointment, including any changes in shedding, hair density, scalp symptoms, treatment response, lifestyle factors, and any new concerns.
Your scalp and hair may be reassessed using high-magnification trichoscopy to monitor visible changes over time and compare findings where appropriate. This appointment may also include reviewing relevant blood test results, discussing how your current plan is working, and making adjustments based on your individual response.
Follow-up consultations are important because hair and scalp concerns often require ongoing monitoring, and changes in hair growth can take time to become visible.
Who are these consultations for?
These consultations are suitable if you are experiencing hair shedding, thinning hair, a widening parting, receding hairline, patchy hair loss, scalp itching, flaking, dandruff, irritation, oily scalp, or changes in hair density.
What will I leave with?
You will leave with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your hair or scalp concern, what further investigations may be useful, and the next steps most appropriate for your individual situation.
Your consultation may also include a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific circumstances, assessment findings, history, and hair or scalp goals.
