Hair loss diagnosis and trichoscopy

What is trichoscopy?

The term trichoscopy comes from the Greek language (Greek trichos = hair, skopein = to look at/examine) and is a compound medical term that literally refers to the “observation of hair”. Trichoscopy is a hair and scalp examination performed with a special high-resolution device that provides detailed information about hair density, hair thickness and the condition of the scalp. Whether it is sudden hair loss, thinning hair or hereditary baldness, an accurate diagnosis is always essential for drawing up a personalised treatment plan and for successful later hair treatment or hair transplantation.

AI-supported hair diagnostics

At our clinic we place great emphasis on using the most modern technological solutions. The system we use for trichoscopy analyses the examination data in real time with the help of artificial intelligence, so both the patient and the doctor receive an immediate, detailed assessment of the condition of the scalp and hair. The software provides precise data on the following:

• the size of the examined area,
• the number and quality of the hairs,
• the degree of hair thinning (severity of androgenetic alopecia),
• and the estimated number of available grafts – helping to determine suitability for a hair transplant.

No preparation, painless

The trichoscopic examination is non-invasive, causes no discomfort and does not require shaving the hair or any other preparation. This is especially advantageous for those who are planning, for example, a Long Hair FUE hair transplant (a hair transplant without shaving).
