- What is Trichology
Trichology is the science of hair and scalp health.
If you’ve never heard of trichology, you’re not alone. But if you’re dealing with hair thinning or scalp issues, it may be the most important field you’ve never heard of.
Trichology focuses specifically on assessing and treating conditions that affect hair growth, hair loss, and scalp function. We specialize in one thing: understanding what’s happening to your hair, and why.
At Swiss Trichology Institute, we start with one simple principle: every effective treatment begins with discovery. Using advanced tools like computer-assisted hair analysis and scalp spectroscopy, we uncover the true cause of your hair loss – and build a personalized plan that fits your biology.
At Swiss Trichology Institute, every treatment plan we build is backed by scientific research, precision analytics, and a commitment to doing what’s best for the patient, not what’s easiest to sell.
Frequently
Asked
Questions
How long do I have to wait to see results?
Most people experience stabilization and first positive results within about 4 months.
What if your treatment doesn’t work for me?
We start with a full analytical assessment to give you the highest chance of success. If your case isn’t a good fit for our methods, we’ll refer you – free of charge – to a trusted specialist. No sales pressure, just what’s best for you.
We will also re-assess the success of your treatment in follow-ups during the treatment cycle to make sure that we deliver the best possible result to your full satisfaction.
Isn’t this something I can just do myself with Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a tool that can be effective in the right circumstances (but should never be used without medical consultation). Nevertheless, it is only part of the puzzle. Our personalized plans combine multiple proven therapies, giving you a far better chance at meaningful, long-term improvement.
Isn't hair transplantation surgery a much better option?
A hair transplant moves resistant hair-follicles from the back of the head to the thinning areas. It does not increase the number of follicles (which is impossible), nor does it “wake up” dormant ones (which is the goal of trichological therapy). Even after a hair transplant, the surrounding native hairs remain vulnerable, which is why ongoing trichological treatment is often essential for a satisfying long-term outcome.
For severe cases, hair transplantation surgery is thus a complimentary option to trichological treatments. It does not alleviate the need to support the growth of native hair as good as possible.
How do I know this isn’t just another scam treatment?
We understand your skepticism – there’s a lot of noise out there. That’s why our treatments are grounded in scientific research and analytics, not empty promises. Every recommendation we make is backed by real data and tailored to your specific biology.
But you don’t have take our word for it! Just schedule your free assessment today and make your own judgement. In the worst case you will invest some of your time, but we promise that you’ll learn some interesting facts about the causes of your hair-loss in return.
