The Trichological approach


Experiencing hair loss can be deeply emotional and distressing, often unfairly dismissed as merely cosmetic. Many misconceptions exist about its causes and treatments. At Mid Kent Trichology, we collaborate with a senior trichologist and specialist pharmacist to ensure you receive the best treatments for your hair loss.


From a straightforward hair assessment to a fully customised analysis, we go beyond basic products, offering a range of specially selected ingredients. You can choose from various oral or topically applied solutions.


Many of our hair loss products are prescription-only and provided by our specialist pharmacist. If you currently use prescription hair loss medication and wish to review or consider different options, please call the clinic for a consultation.
