Trichology is the science that studies the hair and scalp.
Hair is a protein that emerges from the surface of the skin of the human scalp. It is synthesised within deep epidermal invaginations (hair follicles) that reach the dermis, through the cell division and interaction of stem cells or Stem Cells1234567 of ectodermal origin.
These complex interactions produce notable morphological variations during each follicular cycle89
To date, one of the main branches of medicine devoted to the clinical study of hair is dermatology. Owing to the extensive scientific advances in this specific field of knowledge, trichology is regarded as a science that requires an interdisciplinary understanding.
Trichologists are medical professionals who specialise specifically in the area of hair and scalp. They diagnose and treat diseases related to the hair and scalp, and also advise patients on the healthy care of both.
