Every Transformation
Begins with
Understanding.
A comprehensive clinical assessment that identifies the root cause of your hair concern so your treatment is never a guess. The foundation of every successful outcome.
A Trichology Consultation Is
Not a Sales Visit.
Hair loss is not a single condition — it is a symptom with dozens of possible causes, each requiring a different therapeutic approach. A trichology consultation at our clinic is the essential first step for every new client, regardless of the treatment you ultimately require.
Every assessment is structured, thorough, and designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.
What Happens During
Your Consultation
Your 45–60 minute consultation is structured to be both comprehensive and educational. You will leave not only with a diagnosis and a treatment plan — but with a thorough understanding of your own hair, scalp health, and the factors driving your condition.
We begin by reviewing your full medical history including any relevant medications, dietary patterns, stress levels, hormonal history, and your current hair care routine. Hair loss is almost always multifactorial — understanding the complete picture of your health and lifestyle is essential to accurate diagnosis. No detail is too small.
Using professional-grade trichoscopy equipment, we examine your scalp and hair follicles at high magnification. Trichoscopy allows us to assess follicular density, hair shaft calibre, the presence of miniaturisation, any indicators of androgenetic alopecia, signs of scalp inflammation, scarring, infections, or dermatological conditions that would not be visible to the naked eye. This is the clinical standard for accurate hair loss diagnosis.

This is the clinical standard for accurate hair loss diagnosis.
Based on the clinical examination and your history, we work through a differential diagnosis — considering and systematically ruling out the full range of possible causes. We assess for signs of miniaturisation, active inflammation, scarring alopecia, infection, and systemic or hormonal factors. Where blood work is clinically indicated, you will receive specific recommendations for what to test and why.
You receive a clear, written clinical assessment — your diagnosis, the identified contributing factors, and a structured treatment plan detailing the recommended therapies, their rationale, the proposed sequence and timeline, and the realistic outcomes you can expect. You will understand not just what we recommend — but why each element of your plan has been chosen specifically for you.
Everything you need
to move forward with confidence
- A clear, evidence-based clinical diagnosis specific to your presentation
- Clarity on your condition so you understand what is happening and feel in control
- Blood test recommendations if hormonal or nutritional factors are suspected
- Honest, realistic guidance on the outcomes you can expect from treatment
- A record of your trichoscopy findings as a baseline for measuring future progress
- Recommendations for any at-home care or nutritional support that will complement clinic treatments
A consultation is appropriate
for anyone experiencing
- Noticeable hair thinning, shedding, or loss — whether recent or longstanding
- Sudden or gradual changes in hair density, hair texture or complex scalp issues
- Patchy hair loss or sudden, unexplained shedding
- Scalp symptoms: itching, tenderness, flaking, redness, or visible inflammation
- A change in hair texture, calibre, or growth rate
- Postpartum hair loss or hair changes related to hormonal shifts
- A desire for proactive assessment before hair loss becomes more significant
- Clients who have tried other treatments without clear diagnosis or consistent results
Even if you are not yet experiencing significant visible loss, a baseline trichoscopy assessment at the first signs of change can be the most valuable investment you make in your long-term hair health. Early diagnosis is always more effective than delayed intervention.

That's what the consultation is for.
The diagnostic consultation costs nothing extra to figure out — it is the treatment itself. You will leave with a clear picture of what is happening, why, and exactly what to do next.
