The course of a trichological consultation with trichoscopy
During the consultation in the office, the trichologist interviews the patient and performs a trichoscopy. It is a non-invasive and painless examination that uses the dermoscopy technique, which allows you to run a very detailed analysis of the condition of the scalp and hair and blood vessels and their types.
Therefore, a trichologist can accurately assess the condition of the hair shaft and determine the types of present hair and check the hair follicle openings, for example, for the presence of empty hair follicles or plugs inside.
Trichoscopy
Therefore, trichoscopy is a test necessary to make an accurate diagnosis and prepare a treatment plan. It is also used to monitor the progress and effectiveness of a chosen approach.
It is also worth noting that the trichological tests can help detect diseases such as diabetes, gout, thyroid diseases, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, or autism.
