Level III - Certified Clinical Trichologist™
College of Trichology ScienceThe Certified Clinical Trichologist™ program is the complete professional trichology certification pathway within the College of Trichology Science at KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences. Designed for students who know from the beginning that their goal is to become a Clinical Trichologist, Level III combines the University's foundational trichology education and applied Clinical Trichology Residency into one comprehensive program. The Level III curriculum consists of the complete requirements of Level I — Certified Scalp Scientist™ and Level II — Clinical Trichology Residency™. It is not an additional academic level that students must complete after Levels I and II. Students may reach the same academic outcome by completing Levels I and II separately or by enrolling directly in the complete Level III program. Students begin with the scientific and theoretical foundations of trichology, including hair and scalp science, anatomy and physiology, the history and professional development of trichology, herbal science, psychosocial considerations related to hair loss, quantitative and formulation concepts, and integrative wellness considerations. Students then progress into applied clinical training through the Clinical Trichology Residency™, developing competency in professional consultation and assessment, microscopic hair and scalp analysis, clinical documentation, supportive scalp modalities, microneedling principles and safety, low-level light/laser therapy, high-frequency therapy, scalp stimulation and rejuvenation, herbal scalp detoxification and infusion therapies, biocommunication and wellness assessment technologies, KCIS clinical software, case management, cranial prosthesis, non-surgical hair replacement, and foundational insurance and professional credentialing processes applicable to hair replacement services. The Clinical Trichology Residency may be completed through an approved online clinical pathway or scheduled in-person clinical residency, allowing students to select the delivery method appropriate to their circumstances while satisfying defined program competencies. Students who previously completed Level I at KISSED University do not need to purchase or repeat the complete Level III program. They may complete Level II, after which the University recognizes completion of the Level I + Level II requirements toward the Certified Clinical Trichologist™ credential. Successful completion of all required Level I and Level II coursework, clinical requirements, comprehensive assessment requirements, and applicable culminating requirements establishes eligibility for the Certified Clinical Trichologist™ credential following Registrar review and issuance. Graduates may subsequently pursue Level IV — Doctor of Trichology Science™ or other advanced professional opportunities for which they meet applicable admission requirements.
