Indications

Phototrichoscopy is recommended in the following cases:

  • Alopecia (hair loss) - helps determine the type of alopecia and assess the condition of the hair follicles. This allows the doctor to choose the most appropriate treatment method and periodically determine how well the therapy is working.
  • Diffuse hair loss - when there is abundant hair loss throughout the entire scalp. Helps identify possible causes, such as a disorder in the hair growth cycle or inflammatory processes
  • Scalp diseases - diagnoses psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, inflammatory processes and infections. Allows the doctor to assess the condition of the skin, identify the presence of changes, inflammation and other characteristics
  • Study of hair structure - used for a more detailed examination of different areas of the hair. This is useful for assessing quality, thickness, diameter, presence of section or damage
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment - used to assess the effectiveness of therapy for various diseases of the hair and scalp. Allows the doctor to monitor changes in the treatment process and adjust therapy if necessary

At the appointment, a dermatologist or trichologist at the K+31 clinic listens to complaints, conducts an examination and determines the need for phototrichoscopy, taking into account the patient’s specific situation. The procedure is recommended if it is useful for diagnosis and treatment.

Answers to popular questions

How does the phototrichoscopy process work?

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.

How phototrichoscopy will be performed depends on the clinic and the protocols they use. The dermatology department of the K+31 medical center employs qualified dermatologists and trichologists who make decisions taking into account international protocols. During treatment, modern techniques and devices are used, which increases the chance of recovery.

When I was young, I got a tattoo with my husband’s name. After the divorce, there was a desire to remove it. Clinic K+31 attracted my attention because they use modern and reliable equipment, and all the doctors are experienced and certified. At the preliminary consultation, the cosmetologist carefully examined the tattoo and said that the tattoo artist had introduced the pigment deeper than necessary, and this would complicate the process of removing it. It took me 8 procedures to completely cleanse my skin. The redness after the sessions went away within 4-5 days. The result met my expectations.

I would like to leave a review about the most amazing doctor in Moscow!!! I can’t put it into words, first of all, I’m sharing the result of the procedures performed: I did “Ultraformer”, “Radiesse” and “Xeomin”. I want to say that these are not new procedures for me, but I have never had such an amazing result as from Dr. Makhin, how important it is to find a specialist who really knows how to make it “WOW”, I left the office completely delighted and with the result, and after a couple of weeks I simply didn’t recognize my face, I began to look 20 years younger. In addition, it was as if I had been to an appointment with a psychotherapist, arrived in a depressed mood, and came out as if I had started a new life again, the doctor’s energy, approach to the client cannot be expressed in words, a very positive, smart, well-groomed doctor, just sunshine! Thank you Egor Evgenievich for everything and I will repeatedly return only to you and advise all my girlfriends and friends!!!

I went to the clinic for a classic bikini. The professional work of the doctor pleases me. I was free after 20 minutes. There were no burns or painful sensations. The hairs began to fall out on their own on the 3rd day.

I decided to get rid of the tattoo any way I could. Safety and quality of service are always important to me, not price. The doctor at the K+31 clinic recommended removal with the PicoCare 450 laser. It took me 6 sessions to completely remove the image. Thank you for your help!

I would like to express my gratitude to Daria Alexandrovna Lebedinskaya! There is no discomfort after epilation. I was pleased with the delicacy of the work and painlessness. I have already done 3 procedures, we plan to do 3-4 more.

Clinic K+31 was recommended to me by a friend. After looking at photos of other patients’ results on the website, I decided to remove the hated tattoo I got 8 years ago. Before the procedure, the doctor applied an anesthetic, so I did not experience much pain. The result pleased me.
