Course Overview
A Diploma in Medical Trichology is a specialized training program that focuses on the study of trichology, which is the branch of dermatology that deals with the scientific study of hair and scalp disorders. This diploma program aims to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to diagnose, treat, and manage various hair and scalp conditions.
Here are some key aspects typically covered in a Diploma in Medical Trichology:
- Anatomy and Physiology of Hair and Scalp: Comprehensive understanding of the structure, growth cycle, and functions of hair and scalp. This includes studying the different layers of the hair shaft, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and blood supply to the scalp.
- Hair Disorders and Diseases: In-depth knowledge of various hair disorders, including alopecia (hair loss), dandruff, scalp infections, scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other conditions that affect the hair and scalp. Students learn to identify the signs and symptoms, understand the underlying causes, and develop appropriate treatment plans.

Students learn about the role of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other nutrients in maintaining healthy hair, as well as the influence of stress, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors on hair growth.
