🧪 Reviewing Blood Test Results
As part of our trichology consultation process, we may review recent blood test results provided by your GP, dermatologist, or private lab. While we do not conduct or order blood tests ourselves, reviewing specific markers can help us build a more complete understanding of potential contributing factors to hair or scalp concerns.
We commonly consider the following indicators:
-
Iron / Ferritin levels
-
Vitamin D status
-
Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4)
-
Vitamin B12 and folate
-
Zinc and other micronutrients
-
Hormonal indicators (such as testosterone, DHEA, or prolactin)
These results are interpreted in a non-diagnostic and supportive context to help guide your hair and scalp care plan. If we identify concerns beyond our scope, we will advise you to follow up with your GP or an appropriate medical professional.
Our goal is to take a holistic and evidence-informed approach, combining scientific insight with practical, personalised care.
While we do not prescribe medications, Where appropriate, we may refer you to medical professionals for further investigation.
