Aim & Scope
Trichology and Cosmetology (TC) is dedicated to the open dissemination and rigorous discussion of research spanning hair health and cosmetic and aesthetic medicine, consistent with the journal's Publication Ethics commitment to scientifically sound, clinically relevant scholarship.
Core Subject Areas
TC welcomes original research, reviews, and case reports covering:
- Hair loss, alopecia, and scalp disorders
- Hair and scalp biomarker research
- Dermatologic conditions with cosmetic implications, including lichen nitidus and related presentations
- Non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, including laser and thread-based therapies
- Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery
- Skincare formulation and cosmetology
- Post-menopausal and age-related aesthetic and dermatologic changes
- Dermoscopy and diagnostic imaging in dermatology
Who Should Submit
The journal welcomes contributions from dermatologists, trichologists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, cosmetic physicians, researchers, general practitioners, educators, and trainees engaged in hair, skin, and aesthetic medicine research and clinical care, consistent with the manuscript types described in the Author Guidelines.
Scope of Contributions
TC accepts a broad range of article types — original research, review articles, case reports, mini reviews, editorials, short communications, and letters to the editor — provided each submission falls genuinely within the subject areas above and meets the journal's standards for scientific and clinical rigor, as evaluated through the Peer Review Process.
What Falls Outside Our Scope
Manuscripts addressing skin or hair conditions purely from a cosmetic-industry formulation-chemistry perspective, without a substantive clinical or dermatologic focus, are generally better suited to a dedicated cosmetic science or formulation-chemistry journal, and authors are encouraged to consider journal fit carefully before submission.
