Hair Check-Up: Comprehensive Analysis for Hair and Scalp Health
A Hair Check-Up involves a series of trichological tests aimed at identifying and addressing hair and scalp problems. During this process, hair roots are examined using detailed microscopic imaging, and various parameters such as hair mass index, elasticity, moisture, sebum (oil), and pH value are measured. Additionally, key nutrients like iron, zinc, folic acid, vitamin D, B12, and biotin, which are vital for overall health, are assessed. The goal of a Hair Check-Up is to provide the most accurate treatment for the patient by identifying genetic or hormonal factors that may be contributing to hair loss.
Why is a Hair Check-Up Important?
Regular Hair Check-Ups are essential for maintaining optimal hair health and addressing underlying issues before they become more severe. By identifying early signs of hair loss, scalp conditions, or other concerns, we can intervene early and recommend appropriate treatments to prevent further damage and promote healthy hair growth. A Hair Check-Up also allows us to monitor changes in your hair and scalp over time, providing valuable insights into your overall hair health and enabling us to adjust your treatment plan as needed.
How is a Hair Check-Up Applied?
The Hair Check-Up process begins with an anamnesis (patient history), conducted by a specialist trichologist. This involves a one-on-one interview to discuss the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and hair care routine. A scalp sample is then taken to assess hair health, breakage rate, and shedding severity, using the “tricogram” technique, which examines the hair’s morphology and aids in diagnosing hair diseases. After the physical examination and measurements, a blood test is requested to identify any underlying issues. The diagnosis is based on the results of these scans and analyses, which typically take 1-1.5 hours. A personalized trichological therapy or treatment plan is then developed for the patient. If a medical condition is identified as the cause of hair loss, the patient is referred to a specialist physician.

Scientific Dimension of Hair Check-Up: Genetic Hair Test
Hair loss often has a genetic basis, though other factors can also contribute. Genetic hair tests, like the “tricho test,” are the latest technology used to understand the genetic causes of hair loss. This test can identify the specific gene responsible for hair loss within 5-6 weeks. Based on the results, personalized formulas, such as hair serums and vitamins, can be developed to slow or even stop hair and scalp problems.
Who Should Have a Hair Check-Up?
Anyone experiencing weak hair, regional hair loss, scalp itching, excessive dandruff, or loss of hair elasticity should consider a Hair Check-Up. The process starts with an assessment of the individual’s vitamin and mineral levels, which play a critical role in hair health.
