What is Trichology (Tri-kol-ogy)?
Trichology is the para-medical science of the hair, hair loss and associated scalp problems. It encompasses the study of the diseases of the human hair and scalp, as well as the assessment of the cause(s) and treatment of these disorders. The word “trichology” comes from the Greek word, ‘Trikhos’, meaning ‘hair’, and was first conceived as a specialty branch of study in Britain in the late 19th century. It then became a specific para-medical discipline in 1902. Today, trichology is perceived as the “bridge between cosmetology and dermatology."

JD has incorporated the XTC Hair Growth System to treat hair loss. It is a clinically proven nutrient "hair growth" delivery system. It comes complete with the most powerful herbal DHT blockers and provides protection from pseudo-estrogen. She uses this system along with the Low Level Laser Therapy that increases the energy in the cells, which also increases circulation to the hair follicles. The LLLT makes the blood vessels in the scalp area larger and also creates new blood vessels. This treatment is one of the most exciting therapies used today for hair loss. It is a non-chemical, non-invasive treatment that is rendered by sitting comfortably under the laser as it gently delivers the phototherapy (a panel of lasers that shine on the scalp) to the scalp area. A 12 month commitment is required for best results.
