Microscopic Analysis
Hair reflects body imbalances very quickly, microscopy is used as an aid to reach a diagnosis in the following ways;
- Shows any restricted growth of the hair bulbs
- Able to assess any structural damage to the hair
- Determine the presence of a fungal infection

Dull And Lifeless Hair
Trichologist training overlaps both the medical and the cosmetic in areas not normally covered by doctors and hairdressers. Over exposure to heat, strong chemicals and incorrect brushing can all have a significant effect upon the quality and texture of hair. These problems, once the cause has been identified, respond well to advice and treatment.

Hair Loss
The stress of modern living, drug treatments, strong solutions used in hairdressing procedures, certain hairstyles, dieting and pregnancy all have a role to play in hair loss.
There are many types of hair loss, which can and do respond to treatment and advice without medical assistance.
There are also some types of hair loss that can have a natural or spontaneous recovery.
Excessive hair loss can often be a symptom of some other problem or variation in the metabolism of the body.
It is, therefore, of great importance that the correct diagnosis and the cause of the type of hair loss is identified, so that the correct advice and treatment, where necessary, can be given for this extremely distressing condition.
Sudden hair loss may not be life threatening in itself, but six out of ten women, who suffer from it at some point in their lives, can find it a devastating blow to their confidence. As a consequence this can lead to marital problems, career problems and social isolation.
To see ones hair falling out in clumps and be able to do nothing about it is not only worrying but also can make it embarrassing to seek help. GPs and other practitioners do not talk easily about the subject or even take it as seriously as the sufferer. Throughout the consultation time is given to cover all worries and anxieties that a person may wish to discuss, the initial consultation offers continual support as patients once they have returned home often find they have many more questions and are encouraged to telephone at any time; I may not be able to speak to you at that particular moment, but I will get back to you on that day.
