Should I see a trichologist or dermatologist for my hair loss?

Both a trichologist and a dermatologist can help with hair loss. You can see either of them depending on your level of hair loss, and the type of treatment you’re hoping for.

There is considerable overlap between their role in treating hair loss.

In Canada, you may wait 6 months to a year to see a dermatologist. If your hair loss is severe, you could lose a significant amount of hair during that time. In contrast, you can usually see a certified trichologist within days or weeks.
