Consultation

For hair loss or scalp concerns, a consultation with a specially trained trichologist can provide personalised, non-medical guidance alongside appropriate self-care.

What to expect

TrichoCentre appointments are for adults aged 18 years and over. Consultations are private and not NHS-funded. Initial appointments usually last 45–60 minutes.

Before your first consultation, you will be asked to review and sign TrichoCentre’s Client Consultation, Informed Consent & Care Options Acknowledgement, as well as a Hair & Scalp Examination consent form, which explains what the examination involves and confirms its non-medical nature.

During your appointment, our specially trained trichologist will discuss your hair and scalp concerns and carry out a hair and scalp examination. Relevant factors such as health history, lifestyle, nutrition and family history may be explored where they relate to hair and scalp health.

If you have already seen your GP, that’s absolutely fine. GPs and trichologists focus on different aspects of care, and a hair and scalp consultation is separate from general medical care.

How to prepare

Please complete the Pre-Consultation Information Form before your appointment.
‍
Where possible, avoid washing your hair for 24-48 hours beforehand, as this can support scalp examination. Recent blood test results (within the last 3-6 months) may be helpful but are not required.

Examination and monitoring

Your consultation may include visual examination and magnified scalp assessment using specialist equipment such as a digital trichoscope. Discomfort during examination is uncommon.
‍
Findings are discussed with you, along with appropriate care options and possible next steps. With your consent, progress photography and trichoscopy may be used at follow-up appointments to help monitor changes in hair and scalp appearance over time.

I hope to be continuing to get help from Ben in the future.

I went for my first appointment with apprehension but I needn't have worried as on meeting Ben realised that he wasn't scary at all but kind and caring. He is an expert in Trichology and has the ability to share his expertise by giving helpful information in a way that put me at ease and made me feel better able to cope with my scalp problem.  Ben advised a treatment at the Salon, where I met Sabrina who did the treatment and who was also kind and friendly.

Life feels lighter

After a very disappointing and unhelpful consultation with a dermatologist, I decided to research trichologists. I'm so glad I found Ben! His approach is nurturing, friendly, thorough and scientific - much more than my dermatologist was. He helped me see things clearer than I have in a long time. I'd happily recommend Ben to anyone for hair and scalp issues!
