Anthony’s professional area of interest is female hair loss from nutritional-metabolic-hormonal or autoimmune disturbance. He is credited in being the first to identify two forms of androgenic alopecia in women:

The most commonly diagnosed ‘genetically-inherited’ female pattern thinning (even when there appears to be NO known Family history

‘Acquired’ androgenic alopecia from metabolic/hormonal compensatory mechanisms – a more frequently seen condition in my experience .

Children + young adults presenting with Alopecia areata or other scalp hair concerns is also area of expertise for Anthony. His research & clinical experience has indicated Gut dysbiosis (including atopic sensitivity leading to Gluten, Dairy or other intolerance) as a persistent + overwhelming trigger (>90%) for Alopecia areata in young children.

What is Trichology?

Trichology is the scientific study of the hair and scalp, devolving as a specialised discipline from Dermatology in 1902. Trichology is a para-medical area of health care that embraces both naturopathic & western medicine, endocrinology and dermatology.

A qualified Trichologist has studied & successfully completed a recognised Trichology Education Program. Trichologists identify and treat all forms of hair loss, hair shaft breakage, scalp disorders, and the scalp environment. Never hesitate to enquire about your consultant’s qualifications and experience.

Hair is one of the body’s most metabolically-active tissues, often reflecting the first signals of internal disturbance.

Why consult a Trichologist?

There are many reasons why a person will begin to experience hair loss. The cause may be an inherited condition, hormonal, nutritional, physiological, autoimmune, psychological, or environmental, the taking of certain medication, the actions of a third party, or any combination of these.

Some hair loss problems may be temporary and self-correcting whilst others are corrected with nutritional/hormonal interventions. Conditions such as genetic thinning can be stabilised but not cured – whilst others cause permanent hair loss due to follicle destruction.

Simply put, the skill, training and experience of your consultant is paramount in identifying the nature of your problem. Salesmen calling themselves “hair loss consultants’ certainly don’t have this knowledge and generally offer one treatment program for all conditions.

Would you seriously ever consult a Doctor who suggested one remedy for every physical ailment?
