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.

  • Acute inflammatory processes on the scalp - such as ulcers, ulcers or open wounds. The procedure is postponed until complete recovery.

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.
