Our Trichologist – Giovanni De Lellis MIT
Giovanni De Lellis RIT is a qualified trichologist and a Registrant of the Institute of Trichologists (IOT), one of the most respected trichology organisations in the world.
He completed his trichology qualification in 2007 after undertaking the Institute’s comprehensive four-year education and mentorship programme. This training covers a wide range of medical and scientific subjects, including human biology, nutrition, hair and scalp physiology, pharmaceutical preparations, diagnostic techniques, and the study of hair loss and scalp disorders.
Registrants of the IOT are extensively trained to understand the complexity of the human body and the many factors that influence hair and scalp health.
As with all scientific fields, trichology continues to evolve. Giovanni maintains up-to-date knowledge through the Institute’s Continuing Professional Development programme, attending regular seminars, conferences, and the annual International Trichology Congress. He is also DBS certified.
Giovanni originally trained in hairdressing and is a State Registered Master Craftsman. Alongside his clinical work, he is a national educator and trichology advisor to the Great British Barbering Academy, and has worked as a Barbering Assessor for VTCT.
His career began in his family’s long-established hairdressing salon, where his interest in trichology first developed. Noticing an increasing number of clients presenting with hair and scalp concerns, he began researching the science behind these conditions. This curiosity sparked his passion for trichology and ultimately led him to formal training in the field.
Giovanni’s trichology clinic initially operated from within the family salon, but continued growth over the years led to the opening of dedicated premises at 63 St Matthews Street, Ipswich. Patients can now benefit from discreet consultations and tailored scalp and hair treatments in a comfortable, private clinical setting, conveniently located in the town centre. Giovanni has also previously provided consultations at Nuffield Health Ipswich Hospital.
Media & Press Work
Giovanni is regularly invited by both local and national media to provide expert insight on trichology, hair loss, and scalp health. His expertise has led to numerous guest interviews on radio, including appearances on BBC Radio Suffolk, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 2, and BBC Radio Norfolk.
He is also frequently approached by journalists and publications for professional commentary. His advice has featured in regional outlets such as the East Anglian Daily Times, Ipswich Star, Vanilla Magazine, and IP Resident Magazine, as well as leading hair industry titles including Modern Barber, The Barber Magazine, and Hairdressers Journal (HJ).
