Trichologist Manchester only partner with the most highly experienced Trichology Clinics in the heart of Manchester. Hairmedic has over 20 years' experience in Hair & Scalp Disorders, Hair Loss, Hair Thinning and overall health of the Hair & Scalp. A trichologist is a specialist hair doctor who studies the health of hair and scalp, and treats conditions related to hair loss, hair thinning, and scalp disorders. They use their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and dermatology to diagnose and treat hair and scalp issues.


There are many treatments for hair loss and Trichologist Manchester can help find the best one for you:


  1. Medical treatments: Certain medications such as minoxidil can help with hair loss. A trichology specialist can recommend the best treatment option.
  2. Proper hair care: Keeping hair clean and well-nourished can promote healthy hair growth. Avoid using harsh chemicals and heat styling tools, and use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
  3. Healthy diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins can support healthy hair growth. Foods like salmon, eggs, and nuts are especially good for hair health.
  4. Stress management: Stress can trigger hair loss. Try to manage stress through exercise, meditation, or other stress-relieving activities.
  5. Hair transplant: In severe cases of hair loss, a hair transplant may be an option. A surgeon removes hair follicles from one area of the scalp and transplants them to the thinning or balding area.


It's important to consult a trichologist to determine the cause of hair loss and the best course of treatment.

Female Hair Loss & Hair Thinning

Genetic hair thinning is not exclusive to men. Many women who have androgenic alopecia experience diffuse thinning, which can affect their entire scalp. Some women, however, may have the "Ludwig" pattern, characterised by noticeable hair loss on the top of the scalp compared to the back and sides.

The onset of menopause can cause androgenic alopecia in women, but hormonal imbalances, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions can also contribute to a shortened hair cycle. To address this issue, it's important to first identify and address any underlying factors that may be affecting the hair cycle. After that, medication may be used to maintain and strengthen the hair. You should always reach out to a trichologist to discuss any issues.


Male Hair Loss / Male Pattern Hair Loss

In over 90% of cases, male pattern hair loss is the cause of hair thinning at the front, top, and/or crown of the scalp. This is due to the presence of the enzyme 5-a-reductase in the hair roots in these areas, which converts testosterone into the more potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and causes the hair to thin over time. The susceptibility to this process is determined by genetics from one or both parents. However, the treatments for male pattern hair loss vary depending on the individual and their circumstances. The goal of a trichologist is to provide you with the best, unbiased advice for your specific hair loss needs to ensure the best outcome for you.

Hair Loss & Hair Thinning

Hair loss refers to a reduction in the amount of hair on the scalp or other parts of the body. Hair thinning is a reduction in the volume or density of hair. Both hair loss and hair thinning can have various causes including genetics, aging, hormonal changes, medical conditions, and certain medications. In some cases, hair loss or thinning may be temporary, while in others it may be permanent. Consultation with a trichologist is recommended to determine the cause and potential treatments.

Alopecia

Alopecia is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere on the body. It can occur in various forms, ranging from small patches of hair loss to total baldness (referred to as Alopecia Totalis) or complete loss of hair on the scalp and body (referred to as Alopecia Universalis). The exact cause of Alopecia is not known, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There is currently no cure for Alopecia, but some people may experience hair regrowth with treatment. Management of Alopecia may include medications, topical treatments, hairpieces or wigs, and psychological support. A trichologist can help you with this.

Hair & Scalp Disorders

Hair and scalp disorders are conditions that affect the hair and skin on the head. Some common hair and scalp conditions include:


  1. Dandruff: A condition characterized by flaking and itching of the scalp.
  2. Scalp Psoriasis: A skin condition that causes red, scaly patches on the scalp.
  3. Scalp Fungal Infections: A fungal infection that can cause itching, redness, and scaling of the scalp.
  4. Alopecia: An autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere on the body.
  5. Telogen Effluvium: A temporary condition that causes thinning of hair on the scalp.
  6. Seborrheic Dermatitis: A condition that causes red, itchy, scaly patches on the scalp.
  7. Trichotillomania: A psychological disorder that causes individuals to pull out their own hair.


Treatment for hair and scalp disorders varies depending on the specific condition and its cause. Options may include medicated shampoos, creams, oral medications, and in some cases, psychological support. Consulting with a trichologist is recommended for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What Our Clients Say

I self-referred to Iain Sallis who not only identified a number of relevant blood tests which were outstanding (one of which proved to be abnormal) but also diagnosed a dermatological scalp condition. I would whole-heartedly recommend him.

Doctor (North West England)

Our 16 year old daughter had early signs of alopecia. The know how and professionalism shown was second to none, there was an in depth knowledge and proficiency on the subject. There is a lot to be thankful for and I have realised that mainstream medicine needs to recognise the important role Iain and his fellow Trichologists offer patients suffering from alopecia.

NHS Consultant (London)

I have found Mr Sallis extremely professional in his manner and approach to treating my hair. It was such a relief to have someone take me seriously, acknowledge there was a problem and understand how the hair loss was crippling me psychologically. The only thing you have to lose by not going so is more hair!

Female Patient (Nottingham)

Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can be caused by various factors. Here are some of the most common causes of hair loss:


  1. Genetics: One of the most common causes of hair loss is genetics. If your parents or grandparents have experienced hair loss, there is a good chance that you will experience it too.
  2. Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes can also lead to hair loss. For example, during pregnancy, many women experience hair loss due to changes in their hormone levels. Similarly, thyroid problems can also cause hair loss.
  3. Stress: Stress can take a toll on your body in many ways, and hair loss is one of them. Chronic stress can cause hair to enter into the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, which leads to hair loss.
  4. Nutritional deficiencies: A diet that is lacking in essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and biotin can lead to hair loss.
  5. Medical conditions: Medical conditions such as autoimmune diseases, scalp infections, and alopecia areata can also cause hair loss.
  6. Medications: Certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs and blood thinners, can cause hair loss as a side effect.
  7. Hairstyles: Wearing hairstyles that pull the hair tightly, such as braids and ponytails, can cause hair loss over time. This type of hair loss is known as traction alopecia.
  8. Environmental factors: Exposure to pollutants and toxins in the environment can damage hair follicles and cause hair loss.


It's important to identify the underlying cause of hair loss in order to determine the most effective treatment. If you are experiencing hair loss, it's recommended to consult with a trichologist.

They may also provide advice on hair care, such as how to manage your scalp and hair, and may recommend a treatment plan for longer term issued that can be sucessfully managed but not cured.
