About National Trichology Services
Tony Pearce RN is a specialist trichologist and a registered nurse.
He is the Clinical Director of National Trichology Services in Australia & Trichology of Virginia/DC in the United States.
From the mid 1980’s Tony pursued a nursing management career path in areas as diverse as Military Health, Private Hospital Day Surgery, & Drug/Alcohol Rehabilitation. Together with his psychiatric nursing qualifications, his experience gained in these sundry fields has given Tony immeasurable skills for relating to people from all walks of life.
In the 1990’s Tony successfully completed a Trichology Educational Program – achieving the highest-ever finals mark to that time. For that endeavor he was awarded the 1998 TAFE NSW Industry Award for Trichology.
Tony Pearce is the only consulting trichologist from a hospital-trained healthcare background – in Australia most trichologists are hairdressers. This affords him a more thorough understanding of the numerous issues affecting hair loss or scalp problems, which can vary from the simple to the medically serious – utterly testing the diagnostic skills of any practitioner. By his select use of detailed investigative testing and "condition-specific" treatments, Tony has now largely overcome the hit or miss dilemma associated with most other therapies.
Tony Pearce is acknowleged as Australia's leading Specialist for women’s hair loss issues (Private survey of Doctors, Hairdressers & women seeking treatment – 2006). His clinical research was the first to identify two forms of androgenic alopecia in women – true genetically-inherited type, and ‘acquired’ androgenic alopecia from metabolic/hormonal compensatory mechanisms. Tony Pearce is Analytical Reference Laboratory's (ARL) official lecturer on Hormone Imbalance & Hair Loss issues.
Finally, Tony practices trichology in close association with leading authorities in hormonal balance (endocrinology), & bio-stimulating laser light therapy. He pioneered Class 3 laser therapy in clinical practice within Australia. His friend & mentor, Mr. Arthur Chan, is a world leader in hair loss research.
Tony’s professional affiliations include:
• Registered Nurse (Nurses and Midwives Board of NSW)
• Founding Member – Society for Progressive Trichology
• Official Lecturer & Trichology Advisor to Emami Limited (producers of fine haircare cosmetics), Kolkata, India
