General information about the Trichoscopy procedure
Types of trichoscopy

FotoFinder
Trichoscopy on the FotoFinder device is an accurate diagnosis of hair and scalp using digital technology. FotoFinder is equipped with a powerful camera and special software that magnifies the image 70-100 times, allowing you to study in detail the structure of the hair, follicles and skin. Automatic analysis of data helps to identify the slightest changes, including baldness, inflammation and damage. The technology eliminates the human factor, providing objective and reliable results. Images are saved in the system, which allows you to track the dynamics of treatment. This is a modern diagnostic standard, recommended by trichologists around the world.

About the service
Trichoscopy is a type of dermatoscopy performed on a special device. Trichoscopy allows, under magnification (x20–90 or more), to identify pathologies of the hair shaft, the growth structure of the hair, namely: the follicular opening, the condition of the epidermis between the follicular units, the vascular pattern, etc. Trichoscopy allows, in 80-90% of cases, to distinguish cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecia without biopsy, to identify androgenetic alopecia in the early stages, to differentiate pathologies such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, etc.
Hair trichoscopy is included in the group of non-invasive hardware techniques used in dermatology. Very often this study is called dermatoscopy, because not only the hair cuticle itself is examined, but also the scalp, as the growth zone.
The study is performed in the office of a doctor - a trichologist, dermatologist. The object of study is the scalp. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, does not require the use of any contact means.
