Should You See a Hair Doctor or a Hair Treatment Centre?
Quick answer: See a doctor first if hair loss is sudden, patchy, painful, itchy or inflamed, or if you feel unwell; a hair treatment centre is suitable for cosmetic and scalp-care help with gradual thinning once medical causes have been considered. Many people use both.
What doctors do
Doctors can diagnose, order blood tests and prescribe medicines. Dermatologists specialise in skin, hair and scalp conditions. Our hair doctor guide explains more.
What a hair centre does
A non-surgical centre like Folli-Doc focuses on how hair looks and on scalp care. It is not a medical diagnosis.
Using both
Some people treat a medical issue with their doctor and also use a cosmetic option to feel confident while waiting. Tell both about everything you are using.
Frequently asked questions
Is Folli-Doc a medical clinic?
Folli-Doc provides non-surgical cosmetic and scalp-care treatment and does not replace a doctor’s diagnosis.
What kind of doctor treats hair loss?
Usually a dermatologist; a GP is a good first stop and can refer you.
Can I combine both?
Often yes, but discuss with your doctor first.
