What is trichoscopy?

Trichoscopy is a digital analysis of the hair and scalp performed using a specialized device called a trichoscope. This high-performance microscope allows our experts to see the scalp and hair follicles under high magnification, providing them with a detailed insight into conditions not visible to the naked eye.

Thanks to this method, we don't speculate about the causes; we accurately identify them, which is key to establishing an effective treatment.

When is it time for trichoscopy?

The examination is recommended for anyone who notices the following symptoms:

Increased hair loss: Whether it's diffuse (widespread) or localized (in specific areas).
Hair thinning or bald spots: Visually noticeable reduction in hair density.
Scalp problems: Flaking, redness, persistent itching, or irritation.
Changes on the scalp: Presence of plaques, scabs, or scales.
Poor hair quality: Hair becomes thin, brittle, and dry.
Suspicion of systemic problems: If there's suspicion of autoimmune or hormonal disorders related to hair health.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent permanent hair loss and restore the health of your scalp.

What does a trichoscopy exam look like?

The examination is completely painless and quick. The specialist uses a handheld digital microscope that is placed against the scalp. The high-resolution images captured are displayed on a screen, allowing for detailed analysis:

Hair density and thickness: Determining the number of hairs per square centimeter, as well as their diameter.
Follicle condition: Examining the hair follicles and assessing their health.
Hair growth disorders: Spotting signs characteristic of genetic conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
Signs of disease: Identifying inflammation, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis.

The entire examination usually takes about 20 minutes and requires no special preparation.

Advantages of trichoscopy

Precise diagnosis: Allows experts to make an accurate diagnosis without guessing.
Painless and non-invasive: No need for tissue samples or biopsies.
Monitoring therapy: Treatment results can be tracked over time and therapy adjusted.
Personalized approach: An individual treatment plan is created based on an objective picture of the condition.

What conditions does it help detect?

This method is key in diagnosing numerous conditions, such as:

Androgenetic alopecia: The most common form of hair thinning in men and women.
Telogen effluvium: Increased hair shedding caused by stress.
Alopecia areata: Hair loss in circular patches, of autoimmune origin.
Seborrheic dermatitis: An inflammatory condition of the scalp.
Scalp psoriasis: A chronic inflammatory skin disease.
Fungal infections: Scalp infections caused by fungi.
