What does Dr. Arti says ?

Quantifying hair loss presents a unique challenge as it varies from person to person. For some, losing 30–40 strands daily might be considered abnormal, while for others, shedding 100 strands could be entirely normal. The natural cycle of hair growth and fall is intrinsic to our hair's life cycle. As hair completes its growth phase, a certain amount naturally sheds.

In evaluating hair loss, a crucial metric is the anagen-telogen ratio, referred to as the A/T ratio. This ratio represents the balance between hair growth and hair fall during the entire hair growth cycle. Understanding this ratio is pivotal in determining whether an individual is experiencing excessive hair fall or is within the normal range.

What does trichologist do?

A trichologist serves as a dedicated guide for those experiencing challenges with their hair or scalp. Clients may approach with concerns such as sudden excessive hair loss, unexpected bald patches, or issues like persistent itching and scaling of the scalp – all of which fall within the expertise of a trichologist.

Upon consultation, a trichologist engages in a comprehensive case taking with each client, delving into their unique experiences and carefully examining the scalp to understand the problem and its root cause. To enhance diagnostic precision, microscopic examination of the hair may be employed.

Following the assessment, the trichologist navigates a crucial decision-making process. They determine if treatment is necessary and, if so, evaluate whether the concern falls within their realm of expertise or requires collaboration with another specialist. Treatments administered by trichologists may include the application of specialized creams or lotions to the scalp or the implementation of targeted nutritional therapy.

At the core of the trichologist's role is a commitment to personalized care, ensuring that clients receive the most effective and tailored solutions for their specific hair and scalp concerns.
