non-invasive imaging technique for examining skin and hair

Videodermoscopy, also known as digital dermoscopy, is a non-invasive imaging technique used to examine the skin and hair at high magnification. It involves using a specialized camera connected to a computer to capture detailed images of the skin's surface, which can help in diagnosing conditions like alopecia, skin cancer, and other dermatological issues. This method allows for the storage and comparison of images over time, aiding in the monitoring of disease progression or treatment efficacy.
