Hair Loss : Seek Professional Help

If you are noticing moderate to severe signs of hair loss, it should be a priority for you to consult a professional so that you will be advised on what to do before things get any worse. Time is of the essence when it comes to treating hair loss, because there may be a chance that the condition behind it will make hair loss a permanent situation for you. The specialists that you need to look for are either a dermatologist or a trichologist.

A trichologist is a professional who can diagnose and provide treatments specifically for hair loss problems. Keep in mind that some trichologists do not have a medical background, but they should be under registration with the Institute of Trichologists to prove that they are qualified. The best way to find a trichologist is via recommendations from people who have already underwent hair loss treatment or from your doctor. Once you have decided on a specialist, you should call their clinic to set an appointment.

As soon as you have contacted the recommended trichologist in your area, write down as much detail as you can about all of your experiences with hair loss, such as whether it runs in your family, what kind of medication you are currently taking, when you started noticing the hair loss, what hair products you use, and so on.

Take note of any questions that you might want to ask as well. Some suggested questions would be: What treatments are available for my condition? Is surgery necessary or can I take prescription or OTC medication as treatment? What can I do to prevent further hair loss? Arethere any side effects to  the treatment?

Once you are with the trichologist for consultation, he will first ask you questions about your hair loss experience. Then, he will analyze your scalp and hair meticulously so that he will know their current state. A sample of your hair and scalp might also be taken for further testing. From there, he will be able to pinpoint the steps that you need to take. Take note of everything he suggests so that you can create a detailed hair care regimen based on that.
