Trichologist / Belfast
77A Botanic AvenueA trichologist in Belfast who finds the cause first.
Losing hair, or living with an itchy or flaky scalp, is stressful. The hardest part is not knowing why. At Tess Hair and Scalp Clinic on Botanic Avenue, our certified trichologist Theresa Anthony looks at your hair, your scalp and your health together, explains what is going on, and builds a plan around what she finds.
What a trichologist helps with

Thinning hair, a widening parting or more hair in the brush
Sudden shedding after stress, illness, surgery or having a baby
Patchy hair loss or a receding hairline
Itchy, flaky, oily or sore scalp
Scalp build-up and blocked follicles
Hair loss at the edges from braids, extensions or tight styles

What happens at your consultation
- 01
We listen first
Your hair history, health, medication, diet, stress and hair care routine. Hair loss often has more than one cause, so this part matters.
- 02
We look closely at your scalp
Your scalp and hair are examined up close in the consultation room, so we can see what is happening at the follicle.
- 03
We explain what we find
In plain words: the likely cause, what can help, and what will not. If something needs a doctor, we tell you and suggest you see your GP.
- 04
You leave with a plan
Clinic treatments, home care, or simply reassurance. Nothing is booked unless you want it.
Questions people ask
Is a trichologist a doctor?
No. A trichologist is a specialist in hair and scalp health. We do not prescribe medicine, and we work alongside your GP when tests or prescriptions are needed.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book a consultation directly online or by phone.
Can I see a trichologist on the NHS?
Trichology is usually not available on the NHS in Northern Ireland, so most people see a trichologist privately.
Should I see a trichologist or my GP first?
See your GP first if your hair loss came with other symptoms, such as tiredness, weight change or a rash. For hair and scalp concerns on their own, you can start with us.
