Hair loss and scalp issues are common concerns that can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and quality of life. Identifying the underlying causes of these issues is essential for effective treatment. Trichoscopy enables dermatologists to:
DIAGNOSE HAIR LOSS CONDITIONS: Conditions such as androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata present differently in the hair follicles. Trichoscopy provides clarity on the specific type of hair loss and its progression.
EVALUATE SCALP HEALTH: Scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and fungal infections can lead to hair loss or other complications.
GUIDE TREATMENT PLANS: By understanding the exact nature of the problem, dermatologists can tailor treatment plans more effectively

WHAT CAN TRICHOSCOPY REVEAL?
- HAIR FOLLICLE HEALTH: The procedure can reveal signs of follicular inflammation and the presence of certain types of hair loss.
- SCALP CONDITIONS: Trichoscopy helps identify scalp issues such as dandruff, psoriasis plaques, and signs of fungal infections that may be affecting hair growth.
- HAIR GROWTH CYCLE: By observing the different stages of hair growth (anagen, catagen, and telogen), dermatologists can assess whether there’s an abnormal disruption in the natural growth cycle.
