A trichologist is a specialist who focuses on the study and treatment of hair and scalp problems. They are often referred to as "hair doctors," although not all trichologists are medical doctors. Trichology, the study of hair, derives its name from the Greek word "Trikhos," meaning "hair."
While a trichologist can provide valuable advice and treatment for hair and scalp concerns, they are not medical doctors. For more serious hair loss or scalp issues, it's essential to consult a dermatologist, who is a medical doctor specializing in skin, hair, and nails.
