Master in Dermotrichology

Dermotrichology and Kapyderm treatments in Columbia, SC.

My professional training in skin, hair, and facial wellness has shaped my holistic approach to dermotrichology. I believe a healthy scalp is an essential foundation for healthy hair, and it deserves the same thoughtful care and attention as your facial skin.

Every client receives personalized attention, with a scalp wellness plan developed around their individual needs. Through ongoing assessments and follow-up visits, I carefully monitor progress and adjust recommendations as needed.

The follicle, and the skin it sits in

01 — The approach

What is dermotrichology?

Dermotrichology is a clinical specialty developed by Laboratorios Kapyderm in Spain. It sits between trichology, which looks at the hair itself, and dermatology, which diagnoses and treats disease. I work on what surrounds each hair follicle, and on the skin of the face: the skin barrier, the microbiome, oil, circulation and inflammation. I don’t diagnose or prescribe.

This definition follows Kapyderm USA’s own explanation of dermotrichology.

Taking care of the internal issues will allow external hair to grow. That is why every assessment starts with a scalp analysis, and why I observe far more than your hair.

The scalp is skin

Inflammation, buildup, oil, flaking and sensitivity all change what a follicle can do.

Your daily routine matters

Your everyday habits play an important role in maintaining healthy hair and scalp. From heat styling and protective hairstyles to cleansing routines, nutrition, and medications, each may influence your hair and scalp wellness.

Your scalp journey matters

Your hair and scalp wellness journey is unique. Through scheduled follow-up visits and ongoing scalp assessments, I carefully monitor your progress, listen to your concerns, and make thoughtful adjustments to your personalized care plan as needed.

04 — How a Personalized Plan Works

Assess. Personalize. Support. Refine.

STEP 1

Your journey begins with a scalp analysis and a review of your hair and health history.

STEP 2

Together, we’ll review your findings and discuss a customized wellness plan, including in-studio scalp therapies, home care recommendations, and a clear explanation of services and financial investment.

STEP 3

Your journey continues with scheduled follow-up visits to reassess your scalp, review your progress, and thoughtfully adjust your care plan as your needs evolve.

05 — Your Commitment to Hair & Scalp Wellness

Your Consistency Makes a Difference.

Healthy hair and scalp wellness is a journey that requires patience, consistency, and personalized care. By following your recommended home care routine and attending scheduled appointments, we can work together to support your scalp health and hair growth potential.

Every individual’s journey is unique. While hair regrowth cannot be guaranteed, my commitment is to provide professional guidance, ongoing scalp assessments, and thoughtful adjustments to your care plan based on your progress.

06 — What people ask first

Questions about the program.

Is dermotricology the same as dermotrichology?

Yes. Kapyderm spells it dermotricology, and you will see both. It is the care of the scalp and the skin together, which is what my master’s degree covers.

Is a dermotrichologist the same as a dermatologist?

No. I am not a physician, and I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. A dermatologist is a licensed physician who studies skin, gives diagnoses, and treats skin diseases. I work on the scalp and the skin. When what I find belongs with a doctor, I tell you so and what to ask for.

Can I Receive Scalp Care While Wearing a Hair System?

Yes! Maintaining a healthy scalp beneath your hair system is important for comfort, proper fit, and supporting your existing hair. Personalized scalp care can be incorporated into your hair replacement maintenance routine.

Can I Receive Scalp Care While Using Products Prescribed by My Dermatologist?

Yes. Your prescribed treatment remains a priority. I’ll review your current scalp care regimen and recommend supportive services that complement your dermatologist’s care without interfering with your treatment.

Is this a hair growth treatment?

This is a personalized scalp rejuvenation treatment designed to improve scalp health and support healthy hair growth. Results depend on the condition of your hair follicles and the underlying cause of hair loss. Hair regrowth cannot be guaranteed; everyone’s body responds differently.

What if it is not working?

Your progress is carefully monitored through follow-up assessments and scalp photographs. If improvement is limited, we will reassess your needs and adjust your personalized care plan to support the best possible outcome for your scalp and hair health.

Your Two-Hour Comprehensive Hair Loss Assessment

During your two-hour appointment, we take the time to understand your hair loss concerns, review your personal and health history, and perform a detailed scalp and hair analysis using advanced magnification and trichoscopy imaging.

Your scalp images and assessment findings will be carefully reviewed to help identify potential contributing factors.

What Happens Next?

Within two weeks, you will return for a complimentary follow-up appointment to discuss your findings, receive personalized recommendations, and review your care options and financial investment.

There is no obligation to begin a care plan. Our priority is helping you understand your hair and scalp health so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
