Cosmetic or medical treatment: what is the difference?
A cosmetic hair centre and a medical clinic play different roles. Knowing the difference helps you go to the right place.
Medical treatment
Doctors and dermatologists diagnose and treat scalp disease and hair loss, including with prescription medicine or clinic procedures such as PRP.
Cosmetic treatment
Cosmetic treatment such as Simulation & Stimulation focuses on appearance and scalp care. It is not diagnosis or treatment of disease.
When to see a doctor first
Sudden or patchy hair loss, or loss with pain, redness or other symptoms, should be checked by a doctor first. Read when to see a doctor.
They can go together
Many clients get a doctor's advice and also choose cosmetic treatment for a fuller look. Tell your consultant about every medicine and product you use. See the treatment comparison.
