Sorry guys I gave some misinformation
Trichology was founded in 1902 not 1909.
Congrats Saint for taking time to consult with a Trichologist before passing judgement. I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results.
Understand its takes years for the process of hairloss to begin and it also takes time to reverse the process.

I just consulted a Trichologist this morning and gave me a free trial treatment. You know what? I think it will work 100% for me if I continue sessions for 10 weeks. Yeah it costs a lot but what the hell!! If it’s going to giver me back my hair, money is nothing. And Besides, you can earn back your money, but your hair, no way (Without professional help that is). Well, I noticed that none of the people here who left a comment, didn’t add technical informations about the COST of having Trichological help. Let me share some to you :
Here’s the cost of one complete session:
30 corrective treatment for 2 and a half month – Php 28,880 or about $750
if you pay in cash, you they will give you free treatments (Boosters) for free, which costs for about Php11,000, just derive from above the conversion. =) free hair analysis and consultation for your first visit by the way. God bless you all!

Ok I usually don’t get into blogging however considering the topic I think its only fitting that I join you in this one!
I’ve read each of your replies to the topic of Trichology and I understand that each of you have your own reasons for your skeptisims. But most people respond negatively to things they are unsure about. Trichology is an old practice, it began in 1909. Unfortunatly most hairdesigners don’t practice it for many reasons (not to mention it hasn’t been recognized in the states as it has in UK or London).
Like Jeni,I along with many others have consutled dermatologist, physicians & even the Director of Education over one of the most highly reqarded medical Schools/Hospitals in NC, neither had a solution that could was designed to identify the problem or address the cause. They offered me products that I already used.
The question then becomes what caused your particular hairloss in the first place? Do you have hairloss or hair breakage (and there is a difference)
Is it hereditary,systemic or mechanical?Now you tell me what Dr/Dermatologist has the time to sit with you and do the type of consultation required to answer those simple questions?
I admit I am both Cosmetologist & Trichologist, and it only made since for me to further my study into Trichology because of the needs of people that have been referred to me along with things I’ve personally experienced with hairloss.
And who would be better qualified than a hairdesigner, considering we specialize in HAIR!!!
My advice would be for you to first understand each practice and its focus:
Dermatology- is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases and disorders of the SKIN.
Physician- is a person licensed to PRACTICE MEDICINE; a medical doctor.
Trichology – is the branch of medicine that deals with the scientific study of the HEALTH of the HAIR & SCALP.
Cosmetology- refers to the beautifying or treatment of skin, hair and nails.

I am a woman with the unfortunate gene that causes hair loss. Both my mother’s and grandmother’s hair became baby fine and almost non-existent way too early in their life. In light of this known genetically-caused disorder, I began using minoxidil the first time I washed my hair and realized way too much was coming out and landing on the shower floor! Happily, since I started at the very first signs, I am 57 and have mid-back length hair which is healthy, normal and almost thick!!! I’m sure Trichologists are very knowledgeable, but I know for certain minoxidil has had excellent results for me.

As I get older I am keenly aware that hair loss isn’t confined to guys. So far my hair has held up but the information you have given here helps a lot. Now I know where to lok for help, if need be, and I won’t ask my beautician for any advice!
