Advanced Hair and Scalp Analysis

Medical evaluation of hair loss combining clinical expertise, trichoscopy and AI-supported hair analysis.

Understanding the cause of hair loss

Hair loss rarely has a single cause. Hormonal factors, genetics, inflammation, stress or medical conditions can all influence the biology of the hair follicle.

At Vitalis Clinic, diagnosis always begins with a medical consultation. Understanding the patient’s history, symptoms and medical background is an essential part of the evaluation.

Trichoscopy and digital hair analysis are then used as diagnostic tools to examine the scalp and hair follicles in detail. These technologies help visualise patterns that are often invisible to the naked eye, supporting the physician in establishing an accurate diagnosis.

TrichoLAB Hair and Scalp Analysis

Using high-resolution digital trichoscopy, magnified images of the scalp and hair follicles are captured and analysed.

AI-supported analysis allows detailed evaluation of parameters such as:

  • follicular density
  • hair shaft thickness
  • follicular units
  • miniaturisation patterns

This information helps identify patterns of hair loss and supports a more precise medical assessment.

Scientific background of trichoscopic analysis

Trichoscopy has become an important diagnostic tool in modern hair medicine.
Magnified examination of the scalp allows physicians to identify patterns such as follicular miniaturisation, variations in hair shaft thickness and inflammatory signs that are often not visible during routine examination.

Over the past decade, several clinical studies have demonstrated the value of trichoscopy in the evaluation of hair disorders such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata and inflammatory scalp conditions.

Clinical evaluation is always combined with a medical consultation and examination of the patient’s history.

FAQ – Hair Loss Diagnosis / TrichoLAB

  • Who should consider a hair loss diagnosis?

    Anyone experiencing hair thinning, increased hair shedding or changes in hair density may benefit from a diagnostic evaluation. Early analysis can help identify patterns of hair loss before they become more advanced.

  • Can trichoscopy diagnose the cause of hair loss?

    Trichoscopy supports the physician in diagnosing hair disorders, but it is only one part of the evaluation. A complete diagnosis also requires a medical consultation, scalp examination and review of the patient’s medical history.

  • Why is hair analysis important in hair loss?

    Hair analysis helps physicians understand the biological mechanisms behind hair loss. Early analysis can help identify patterns of hair loss before they become more advanced.

  • What happens after a hair analysis?

    After the diagnostic evaluation, the physician discusses the possible causes of hair loss and the available treatment options. In some cases further evaluation or follow-up may be recommended.
