Trichoscopy
Trichoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses a dermatoscope to closely examine the scalp and hair follicles. This advanced technique allows healthcare providers to assess the health of the scalp and hair in great detail, making it an invaluable tool for diagnosing various hair and scalp conditions. Trichoscopy provides high-resolution images that reveal patterns of hair loss, scalp inflammation, and other abnormalities that are not visible to the naked eye.
Importance of Trichoscopy in Hair and Scalp Care
At VHCA Ayurveda Hair Clinic, trichoscopy plays a crucial role in our comprehensive approach to hair and scalp health. By using trichoscopy, our experts can accurately diagnose conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other hair disorders. This precise diagnosis is the first step in creating an effective, personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of hair loss or scalp issues.
How Trichoscopy Works
Trichoscopy involves the use of a dermatoscope, which is a handheld device equipped with a high-magnification lens and a light source. The device is placed on the scalp or hair, allowing the practitioner to capture detailed images of the hair shafts, follicles, and scalp skin. These images are then analyzed to identify specific patterns and abnormalities.
Key Features of Trichoscopy:
Magnification: Trichoscopy provides magnified images of up to 70x, allowing for the visualization of even the smallest details of the hair and scalp.
Real-Time Diagnosis: The images captured during trichoscopy are analyzed in real-time, enabling immediate diagnosis and the development of a treatment plan.
Painless and Non-Invasive: Trichoscopy is a completely painless procedure that does not require any incisions or tissue samples.
Detailed Analysis: Trichoscopy can identify hair shaft abnormalities, scalp conditions, and the type and extent of hair loss, providing a comprehensive overview of hair and scalp health.
Conditions Diagnosed with Trichoscopy
Androgenetic Alopecia: Trichoscopy can detect miniaturization of hair follicles, a hallmark of androgenetic alopecia, allowing for early diagnosis and treatment.
Alopecia Areata: The presence of yellow dots, black dots, and exclamation mark hairs are specific trichoscopic features of alopecia areata.
Scalp Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis: Trichoscopy helps differentiate between scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis by identifying specific patterns of scaling and inflammation.
Scalp Infections: Fungal infections and other scalp infections can be diagnosed by identifying specific signs such as broken hair shafts and scalp scaling.
