Hair Loss, Scalp Problems & Hormonal Disturbance
Consultation Service for Men

Welcome to our exclusive online trichology consultation service. We offer the only dedicated internet diagnostic centre for Men experiencing hair loss, scalp problems or hormonal disturbance.

What is Trichology?

Trichology is the scientific study of the hair and scalp. Trichology devolved as a specialised discipline from Dermatology in 1902, to become a para-medical field of health care embracing both naturopathic & western medicine, endocrinology and dermatology.

A qualified Trichologist has studied & successfully completed a recognised Trichology Education Program.

A rather obvious Question! How do we know the reasons why you’re losing your hair without seeing you?

Simply put, the type of hair loss you’re experiencing can be recognised by its pattern of loss and rate of hair fall. For example, hair loss from a nutritional deficiency will usually result in slow, steady hair thinning that may only become apparent after many months. By contrast, alopecia areata presents as distinctive patches of total hair loss that appear suddenly.

What’s the Procedure and what do I get for my money?

Hair loss in men is generally undemanding for an experienced trichologist to recognise and treat. However a history of your problem, any medical issues/allergies you may have, your diet, any medication you might be taking; these should all be reviewed before advising you on the most appropriate treatment regime for your needs.

Where required we will attach a prescription request for your doctor’s approval. The advanced 5% Minoxidil formulation we initially commence our patients on is not a prescription item per se, but if you wish to claim it on private health insurance, you need an official pharmacy receipt from us to do so. In Australia almost all pathology testing & pharmaceutical products are claimable through either Medicare or private health insurance.

Our consulting fee is

AUD $200.00

This gives you:

  • A detailed report providing full explanation to your responses
  • Comprehensive + specific blood test request and/or product prescription request (where appropriate)
  • 1st blood pathology review
  • microscopic hair analysis (where appropriate)
  • Salivary hormone testing kit (and test request) where indicated*

*Saliva test result interpretation and follow-up reviews may incur small additional fee ($30). Other pathology testing (gut/liver function; hair mineral analysis) additional where indicated.
