HAIR LOSS | TRICHOLOGY EXAMINATION
DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF HAIR LOSS
BASIC INFORMATION
The basic trichology examination begins with a dialogue, where the doctor gets thorough anamnesis of the start and process of patient’s problem with hair loss. After the introductive consultation the doctor clinically examines patient’s hair and inspects the findings.This is followed by digital trichoscopy performed by a special camera connected to a computer which allows us to take images and save them for further check-up. The camera records individual locations of the scalp and is able to capture the scalp, hair follicles and individual hair with a magnification impossible to see with our eye only (up to 120 x). This step of the process brings the important information about the correct diagnosis, because we are able to see the signs typical for particular diseases.
Based on the knowledge from the first consultation and based on the results of the digital trichoscopy the trichologist will determine the diagnosis and propose treatment suitable for the patient. The doctor will summarize his findings, statements and recommendations in a detailed report.In case of need or suspicion of diseases which could be the cause of the patient’s problem the doctor will recommend to undergo additional examinations with various specialists or a physician.
