Society for Progressive Trichology
 The Society for Progressive Trichology was born out of a desire for Trichology to again become a relevant para-medical specialty within conventional healthcare.
Trichology devolved from medical dermatology in 1902 as the dedicated scientific study of the hair & scalp. Outside of England where it originated, Trichology has since (in many ways) lost its true identity. In some parts of the world the use of "trichology sound bytes" by hair loss salesmen as a closing technique has deposed this valuable field of expertise to little more than a ‘sales gimmick’.
Trichology also suffered when it was established in Australia as a Post-Trade Certificate for Hairdressing. Trichology encompasses genetics, autoimmunity, anatomy, physiology, hormones, nutrition, disease processes, pharmacology, chemistry, plus the skills of an experienced diagnostician – how could this be anything other than a much specialised area of health? Mr. Barry L. Fletcher, a leading authority on hair loss in African-American women states: "Trichology is a very necessary profession that has its place in a medical treatment."
Affiliation with the Society for Progressive Trichology is open to any & all individuals from health-related professions. Our current Members are culturally and professionally diverse; trichologists from Australia, Argentina and the United States, a Chinese-born world authority on hair loss, and a Swedish designer of laser technology. Our one common goal is to make a "positive difference" in the modern treatment of hair and scalp disorders. Won’t you join us?
