Advanced Hair & Scalp Analysis (Trichoscopy)

Advanced Hair & Scalp Analysis, commonly known as Trichoscopy, at Cosderma Skin Clinic in Malad, Mumbai, is a state-of-the-art diagnostic technique used by dermatologists to examine the hair and scalp at a magnified level. Using a specialized handheld dermoscope or a video dermoscope connected to a computer, this non-invasive method allows for a detailed assessment of hair follicles, hair shaft characteristics, scalp skin, and blood vessels. It provides crucial insights that help in accurately diagnosing various hair loss conditions (e.g., androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, scalp infections) and monitoring treatment progress, often eliminating the need for invasive biopsies.

How Does Advanced Hair & Scalp Analysis (Trichoscopy) Work?

The process of Trichoscopy is simple and straightforward:

  • Consultation: Your dermatologist will first discuss your hair concerns, medical history, and family history of hair loss.
  • Scalp Examination: Using a high-magnification dermoscope, the doctor will examine different areas of your scalp and hair without needing to cut or pull out hairs.
  • Image Capture: Digital images of your scalp and hair are captured and displayed on a screen.
  • Detailed Analysis: The dermatologist analyzes various trichoscopic features, such as: Hair Density: Number of hair follicles per square centimeter. Hair Shaft Thickness: Identifying miniaturized (thinned) hairs. Follicular Units: Assessing the number of hairs emerging from each follicle. Vascular Patterns: Observing blood vessels on the scalp. Scalp Skin Features: Checking for inflammation, scaling, redness, or scarring. Specific Hair Shaft Abnormalities: Like exclamation mark hairs or black dots, characteristic of certain conditions.
  • Diagnosis & Discussion: Based on the trichoscopic findings and clinical assessment, a precise diagnosis is made, and a tailored treatment plan is discussed with you.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Is Trichoscopy painful or invasive?

No, Trichoscopy is completely non-invasive and painless. It involves simply placing a handheld device against the scalp to capture magnified images.

Do I need to prepare my hair before a Trichoscopy session

It’s usually best to wash your hair 24-48 hours before the session. Avoid applying any styling products, oils, or serums on the day of the appointment, as they can interfere with image clarity.

What conditions can Trichoscopy diagnose

Trichoscopy can help diagnose a wide range of conditions, including androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, various types of scarring alopecia, and hair shaft abnormalities.

How often should Trichoscopy be done?

It’s typically done during the initial consultation for diagnosis. For monitoring treatment progress, it may be repeated every 3-6 months, or as advised by your dermatologist.

Can Trichoscopy replace a scalp biopsy?

In many cases, Trichoscopy can provide sufficient diagnostic information, reducing or eliminating the need for a scalp biopsy. However, for certain complex or inflammatory conditions, a biopsy may still be required for a definitive diagnosis.
