About

A trichogram is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the health of the scalp and hair. This procedure allows for a detailed analysis of the hair, including the evaluation of hair growth, scalp quality, and the number of active and inactive hair follicles.

Candidate

Trichogram is typically used for patients who have various hair problems such as hair loss, brittle hair, or hair growth issues. It is also used to monitor the progress of treatment and therapy for hair problems.

Preparation

Before a trichogram, patients are usually advised to avoid using hair or scalp products that could affect the results. Avoiding hair dye or chemical treatments may also be recommended to enable a more accurate analysis of the scalp.

Treatment

During a trichogram, small samples of hair are taken from different parts of the scalp for analysis under a microscope. The physician or technician examines the characteristics of each sample, including thickness, length, growth phase, and the presence of any damage or abnormalities.

Result

Trichogram results provide information about the health of the scalp and the condition of the hair, assisting physicians in diagnosing hair issues and determining the appropriate therapy. They can also serve as a reference for monitoring progress during therapy or treatment.

Precautions

Maintaining sterility during the procedure is important to avoid contamination or infections. It is also crucial to follow the physician's instructions to ensure an accurate analysis of the scalp and hair condition.
