Diagnosis of hair loss

2024-08-13

admin

To diagnose hair loss requires a careful evaluation of the patient's medical history and a physical examination of the scalp. At our practice, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess hair loss patterns and identify underlying causes.

Trichoscopy

Trichoscopy is a non-invasive technique that uses a dermatoscope to magnify and analyse the scalp. This helps us identify specific hair diseases and assess the condition of hair follicles.

Blood samples

We also perform blood tests to rule out medical conditions that may cause hair loss, such as hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies.

Treatment options

There are several effective treatment options available for hair loss, depending on its cause and severity.

Medical Treatments

Minoxidil: A topical solution that promotes hair growth and prevents further hair loss.
Finasteride: An oral medicine used to treat male pattern hair loss by inhibiting the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Corticosteroids: Used to treat inflammatory hair diseases.

Surgical Treatments

Hair transplant: A procedure in which healthy hair follicles are transplanted from one area of the scalp to the affected area.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): A modern technique where individual hair follicles are extracted and implanted.

Natural and Complementary Therapies

Laser therapy: Use of low-intensity laser light to stimulate hair growth.
Acupuncture and Massage: May improve blood circulation to the scalp and promote healthy hair growth.
Food supplements: Vitamins and minerals such as biotin, zinc and iron can support hair health.

Advances and Innovations in Hair Loss Treatment

Research in hair loss treatment is constantly evolving, and new methods are regularly tested to improve the effectiveness and safety of treatments.

Stem cell research

Stem cell research shows promising potential for future hair restoration therapies by using stem cells to regenerate hair follicles.

Genetic Treatments

Genetic research aims to understand the specific genes involved in hair loss and develop targeted treatments that can block the negative effects.

Personalised Medication

Personalised medication, based on an individual's genetic profile, is becoming increasingly relevant in hair loss treatment and may soon offer tailor-made solutions.
