Glossary TrichoScan

digital tool analyzing hair growth and loss patterns

TrichoScan is a digital imaging tool used to analyze hair growth and hair loss. It combines epiluminescence microscopy with software to measure parameters like hair density, hair thickness, and the percentage of hair in different growth phases. This method is particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like alopecia.
