Meet David Charles MBRCP
Dermo Trichologist
David Charles is a registered member of the British Register of Complementary Practitioners and brings over forty years of clinical experience in diagnosing and managing hair loss conditions for men and women across Yorkshire and the United Kingdom.
Every recommendation is based on careful observation and responsible professional judgement. No exaggerated claims — only clear, ethical guidance tailored to each individual.
Understanding Your Hair Loss
Hair loss can arise from a variety of biological and environmental influences. Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, illness, stress, nutritional factors and scalp conditions may all play a role. Without careful assessment, it can be difficult to distinguish between temporary shedding and progressive thinning.
At David Charles Trichology, microscopic hair bulb examination using a polarising microscope may be carried out where appropriate. This process allows follicle behaviour to be observed in detail, helping guide professional judgement and treatment planning. Patients often describe this stage as particularly reassuring, as it provides visual confirmation of what is happening at follicular level.
The aim is not simply to offer treatment, but to help patients understand their condition clearly and realistically.
Hair Bulb Extraction
A small number of hair bulbs are carefully extracted from selected areas of the scalp. This procedure is controlled and precise, allowing the hair root to be examined in its complete growth phase without causing harm to surrounding follicles.
Polarising Microscope Assessment
The extracted samples are analysed under a polarising microscope. This enables detailed evaluation of follicular activity, growth phase distribution, structural integrity of the hair shaft, and indicators of scalp inflammation or miniaturisation. Such examination provides insight beyond what can be seen with the naked eye.
Evidence-Based Treatment Planning
Findings from microscopic analysis guide all recommendations. Treatment is determined by observable follicle behaviour and clinical evidence rather than assumption or generalised protocols.
Clear, Realistic Guidance
Patients are provided with straightforward explanations of their condition, including what may be improved, what is unlikely to change, and appropriate expectations regarding outcomes. The aim is informed decision-making grounded in professional judgement.
Each case is assessed individually.
Recommendations are always tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the patient.
