What is trichology?
Trichology is the branch of dermatology that focuses on the scientific study of hair and scalp health.
Trichologists evaluate hair disorders such as androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and recommend treatment strategies, which increasingly include therapies like Photobiomodulation (PBMT).
Integrating red light therapy into trichological care plans supports a holistic approach to improving scalp health, stimulating hair growth, and managing chronic hair loss conditions.
