What is examined in trichology?
Trichoscopy
- Density of hair follicles
- Ratio of anagen:telogen hairs
- Miniaturization of follicles (AGA marker)
- Condition of the scalp (dandruff, seborrhea, inflammation)
Trichogram (optional)
A few hairs are taken and examined under a microscope — stage of the cycle (anagen/telogen/catagen), condition of the bulbs.
Interview and exclusion of causes
Laboratory tests worth ordering:
- Blood morphology
- Ferritin (NOT just iron — ferritin is a storage, better marker)
- TSH (thyroid)
- Vitamin D
- Zinc
- In case of suspected androgenetic: free testosterone, DHEAS, prolactin (in women)
Main causes of hair loss
- Cause: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) — Type: Men and women — Diagnosis: Miniaturization + interview + hormones
- Cause: Telogen effluvium — Type: Diffuse hair loss — Diagnosis: After stress, childbirth, illness, diet
- Cause: Alopecia areata — Type: Autoimmune — Diagnosis: Round patches + yellow dots in trichoscopy
- Cause: Iron/ferritin deficiencies — Type: Systemic — Diagnosis: Ferritin < 30–40 ng/ml
- Cause: Hypothyroidism — Type: Hormonal — Diagnosis: TSH + fT4
- Cause: Psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp — Type: Dermatological — Diagnosis: Trichoscopy + interview
- Cause: Trichotillomania — Type: Psychological — Diagnosis: Characteristic pattern of damage
Treatments at J'ADORE
Hair mesotherapy
Active cocktails (Venome Revitec Hair, Dr.Cyj, NCTF Hair) injected directly into the scalp → nourishing follicles, stimulating growth.
Indications: Early AGA, telogen effluvium, weakened hair.
Series: 6–10 sessions every 2 weeks.
PRP/Regeneris — own growth factors
Own blood → platelet concentrate → injection into the scalp → growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1) activate follicles.
Indications: AGA, telogen effluvium.
Series: 4–6 sessions every 2 weeks.
Regenera Activa — progenitor cells
The most advanced autologous method. Microbiopsy + processing + injection of own progenitor cells.
Indications: AGA grade II–V, resistant effluvium.
Needle-free scalp mesotherapy
Electroporation with a cocktail (biotin, caffeine, growth peptides) → no needles, less intense.
Indications: Sensitive scalps, complementing needle series.
Diet and supplementation for hair
- Ingredient: Ferritin — Role: Iron transport to follicles — When to supplement: When < 40 ng/ml
- Ingredient: Vitamin D3 — Role: Receptors in hair follicles — When to supplement: When < 50 ng/ml
- Ingredient: Biotin — Role: Keratin synthesis — When to supplement: In case of deficiencies (not very common)
- Ingredient: Zinc — Role: Fibroblasts, regeneration — When to supplement: When < normal
- Ingredient: Hydrolyzed collagen — Role: Amino acids for keratin — When to supplement: Optional
- Ingredient: Omega-3 fatty acids — Role: Microcirculation of the scalp — When to supplement: General supplementation
> ⚠️ Biotin in supplements may interfere with laboratory test results (TSH, thyroid hormones, hCG). Discontinue 72 hours before tests.
