Phototrichoscopy

The process consists of the following steps:

• Preparation. At a preliminary consultation with the patient, the doctor listens to complaints, gets acquainted with existing diseases, examines the hair and scalp to initially assess the condition.
• Preparing equipment. A phototrichoscope or other device for the procedure is prepared. This could be a computer camera with a macro lens or a microscope with a digital image capture system.
• Patient preparation. The hair is partially combed or divided into sections that need to be examined. This helps to access the scalp and hair follicles.
• Research. The doctor begins to examine the hair and scalp using a device. Gently separates hair into different sections and scans them. The phototrichoscope is aimed at the areas of interest to obtain magnified images.
• Image analysis. The doctor analyzes the resulting photographs or videos. Evaluates the characteristics of hair and scalp, diameter, structure, condition of hair follicles and the presence of inflammation.
• Diagnostics and recommendations. Based on the data obtained, the doctor confirms or excludes the suspected diagnosis. It also determines the treatment plan. Gives recommendations on hair and scalp care, prescribes medications or other procedures that help improve the condition.
