I see your white coat. Are trichologists on the same level as a doctor? Do you work under the supervision of a dermatologist? Can you bill health insurance for your services?
We’re Not on the level of medical Physician. But we are in the science of hair. Using Trichoscope to look at the health follicles and scalp disorders. We are considered Para-medical because we can identify various of alopecia’s and scalp disorders but can not diagnose people I sent them to a physical and they confirm after I’ve done the leg work. I holistically address issues also using my 30 years of experience of caring for hair and scalp. But if serious underlying conditions are present the physician is involved for prescriptions. I work closely with dermatologist, read blood work and to help slow down the progression of hairloss, help retain existing hair. As well as help with scalp disorders. It’s a great field the next level bridging cosmetologist to trichologist to dermatologist. I love reading medical journals and studying the science of why. Hope this helps
