Dr Ingrid Wilson

Medical Trichologist, Aesthetics Doctor

I am a Medical Doctor with a background in General Practice and Public Health Medicine. As a GP practising in the NHS I realised that there was very little training available in hair loss and cosmetic skin concerns like hyperpigmentation and acne - especially in skin of colour. After personal experience of hair loss I decided to train in Trichology with the Institute of Trichologists with hairdressers and wigmakers between 2010 and 2012, gaining a distinction in both years of the course. I built on that knowledge by joining professional groups including dermatologists, hair transplant surgeons, cosmetic scientists and writing about hair loss using published evidence. I developed an interest in aesthetics and skin care which has enabled me to offer a broad range of alternative solutions for cosmetic skin concerns which are not available in NHS General Practice or NHS Dermatologists.

Ask the Expert

Q: What do you love most about your work?

I love being able to provide my clients with time, understanding and a range of evidence-based options for cosmetic skin concerns, scalp issues and hair loss. I enjoy the lightbulb moment when customers realise that alternative approaches are possible for their issue, and that a range of options can make a difference. I love it when customers trust me enough to listen and take my advice and come back with results.

Q: What is the best advice you have ever received?

You can't change the world, but you can change your part of it.

Q: What is your proudest professional achievement?

Opening my own clinic. This is because I had never believed it would be possible to do it. Although there are many challenges, these are far outweighed by the ability to be able to create a workplace that allows me the flexibility to be able to provide a variety of service that use my training and hopefully complement what is available in the NHS.
