Dr Ingrid Wilson is the founder of Crewe Hair and Skin Clinic.

She is a practising GP who realised  that  personal experience of hair loss there was a gap in the NHS for diagnosing and managing people.  Like many GPs, there had been less than an hour’s training on hair loss before qualifying.  There weren’t any suitable course of enough depth available, so she began training in Trichology (the science of hair and scalp) .  People working in Trichology come from a range of backgrounds, the majority hairdressing and wig-making. Dr Wilson was the first practising doctor in the UK to undertake and complete the 2 year course. 

At the end of the trichology training she realised that there was a gap in what trichologists could offer from the medical and aesthetics sector.  This led to an interest in learning ways to bridge the gap by bringing together the diagnostic skills from Trichology, ensuring that people with scarring forms of hair loss are promptly identified and sent to a dermatologist.  She has developed an interest in applying technology from the aesthetics sector to provide a broad range of solutions for hair loss.  Having a background in Public Health Medicine helps with an evidence based approach to managing hair and skin concerns.  She maintains an interest in the work of the hair transplant sector and is keen to offer solutions to patients before and after hair transplants including through prescribed medications directed by DNA testing, appropriate supplementation, Polynucleotides and Regenera Activa (being one of only a handful of clinics outside London to offer this treatment)
