Medical disclaimer

Beyond Alopecia provides trichology consultations and educational information. This is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace care from a qualified medical practitioner. If you are concerned about your health, please see a doctor.

Scope of practice

Beyond Alopecia is a trichology practice. A trichologist is a certified specialist in hair and scalp health and is not a medical doctor. I do not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe medication, perform biopsies, or interpret laboratory results in a diagnostic capacity.

No guarantee of outcome

No outcome is promised or implied. Hair loss has many causes, responses to any intervention vary widely between individuals, and some forms of hair loss are managed rather than reversed.

Educational content

Articles, concern pages and other material on this website are educational. They are not personalised advice and are not a substitute for assessment by a qualified professional. Evidence changes; pages carry a last-reviewed date.

When to seek medical care

Please consult a doctor promptly if hair loss is sudden or patchy, if the scalp is painful or shows sores or scarring, if hair loss is accompanied by other symptoms, or if the person affected is a child. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service.
