1. Clinical examination
We review how the hair loss started and evolved, how the scalp looks and feels, and whether there are signs of inflammation, scaling or atypical patterns.
Diagnosis and analysis
How we investigate hair loss and hair diseases – from clinical assessment and trichoscopy to tests when indicated.
Serious diagnostics is the foundation of safe treatment. Here we describe the most common steps we use when assessing alopecia and other scalp conditions.
2. Scalp analysis (trichoscopy)
With trichoscopy (high-magnification microcamera) we examine the scalp and follicles in detail: follicle status and density, signs of inflammation, sebum balance and hair shaft quality. This is often a central step before we recommend PRP, medical treatment or hair transplantation.
3. Skin biopsy when needed
In unclear or suspected scarring disease, a small tissue sample may be needed to confirm diagnosis and select the right therapy.
4. Blood tests
Blood tests can rule out or support underlying causes – for example iron, thyroid, vitamins or other systemic factors.
How we use the findings
Once we have the clinical picture, trichoscopy and any tests, we can determine whether the condition is for example pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, a scarring process or inflammatory scalp – and which treatment is medically justified. The same kind of analysis often underpins the individual plan you receive in consultation, whether the next step is PRP, medication or transplantation.
