A trichological consultation takes a holistic approach, This approach involves assessing a person’s lifestyle, genetic factors, nutrition, overall health, psychological well-being, and hair care habits. The main goal is to identify the underlying causes of hair problems and recommend the most appropriate treatments, care methods, and products tailored to the individual’s specific needs. Additionally, it emphasizes improving lifestyle habits, such as diet, sleep, stress management, and physical activity.

The Importance of a Holistic Approach

Hair follicle is a small, specialized structure in the body that has its own metabolic functions related to energy use and chemical reactions. Additionally, it is closely connected to and influenced by the metabolic processes of other organs in the body, thus reflecting the body’s overall health.

As a result, hair problems may often be the first sign or consequence of an underlying health issue. Identifying the causes of hair loss needs special expertise and require understanding of health conditions, blood and hormone levels which may directly or indirectly be the cause of a hair loss. Trichology expertise, the science of hair and scalp health, is crucial in accurately diagnosing and addressing hair loss issues. Many times, medical support and collaboration with a healthcare professional may also be necessary.

Trichology acknowledges that hair problems affect men and women differently and should be examined in detail based on these differences. Scientific studies suggest that 90% of male hair loss is due to genetic predisposition, whereas female hair loss is more often associated with multiple health-related factors.

Individuals with a family history of genetic hair loss or long-term health issues require ongoing support through a combination of treatments. For hair loss that is short-term or caused by factors like changing seasons, cosmetic at home solutions (like shampoos, conditioners, or hair serums) might be enough to address the issue. In other words, these types of hair loss don’t necessarily require medical or person tailored treatments and can be managed with over-the-counter products or home remedies.

However, Trichological Hair Analysis and customized treatments are crucial in cases of early-onset of genetic and rapidly progressing type of hair losses.Personalized treatment options may be twofold: medical options and trichological treatments (or both together). While medical treatments and pharmaceutical-based products should always be used under a doctor’s supervision, as not all medications are suitable for everyone. Trichological treatments, which are often herbal-based, free from side effects, and non-addictive, can sometimes offer the most suitable and effective solution, for individuals seeking a more natural approach without the risks associated with pharmaceutical products.”

Treatment Process and Expectations

The type of treatment (medical, cosmetic or supplements) should be determined based on the severity and the causes of the hair loss. Usually, hair growth starts within 2 to 6 months after treatment or following the improvement of factors that affect hair growth, such as lifestyle adjustments or health. Nutritional deficiencies, underlying medical conditions may slow down the process of hair growth, it may take as long as 9 months or even longer for noticeable positive changes.

At Akademi Saç Terapi, we use cosmetic and herbal based Trichological Lotions, (free from side effects, non-addictive) that are very practical to use topically. These are the therapeutic hair care solutions for those who are seeking more risk free and natural options.

One should understand that the speed of the treatment results may vary from person to person and may take time, as hair is slow to react. But the good news are results tend to be more long lasting as the trichological approach focuses on holistic healing and overall body recovery.
