Trichologists

Why are most hair transplant surgeons not trichologists? Or at least not saying that they are. Hmmm, maybe it takes a lot of time to study this profession or not as important? I don't know really but it seems really important if you're mainly dealing with hair and to minimize having bad hair transplant results because of underlying scalp diseases that wasn't detected. Just my opinion.

A trichologist isn't a medical term. It's a more informal word for a hair expert with no regulatory body.  In medicine, hair falls under the scope of dermatology.

Some dermatologists specialise in hair, notably, Prof Rodney Sinclair, or Dr Jerry Shapiro
