ART is a community
Information, experience and best practice are shared to provide their clients with a professional diagnosis and treatment plan for hair loss, hair thinning and diseases of the hair and scalp. Through our register of qualified members, anyone who is worried about the health of their hair and scalp can get in touch with a Registered Trichologist using Find a Tricholoigst.
The diagnosis of hair and scalp problems can range from hair loss to hair thinning for both men and women. When visiting a Trichologist, it’s important to know that all ART members are bound by a code of ethics.
