What is Trichoscopy?

Trichoscopy is a specialized analysis of the scalp and hair, utilizing advanced tools, such as a trichoscope, to assess hair and scalp health. It allows for a close-up view of the hair follicles, scalp condition, and hair density. This non-invasive scan helps identify issues like hair thinning, scalp irritation, and other conditions that contribute to hair loss. The results provide a detailed understanding of the underlying causes of hair and scalp problems, enabling a personalized treatment plan to restore healthy hair growth.
