Oligoscan and hair transplant
What is Oligoscan?
It is a detector of the intracellular bioavailability of mineral compounds. It makes it possible to carry out a real assessment of the measurement of deficiencies and excesses in minerals, trace elements, the measurement of the heavy metal content and cellular oxidation.
The measurement of these elements and the interpretation of the results are done immediately without any blood taking.
What is its operating principle?
This assessment is carried out by tissue measurement, by spectrophotometry of the palmar dermis (palm of the hand).
Spectrophotometry is a method of quantitative analysis which consists of measuring the absorption or optical density of a chemical substance. Each chemical compound absorbs, emits, or reflects light over a certain wavelength range.
The Oligoscan sends a certain quantity of light and analyzes what it receives in return. This technique has been used for a long time (1930) in many fields: aerospace, industry, chemistry, pharmacy, medical analyses, etc.
It is this technology that made it possible to know the composition and temperature of the planets!
What is the difference between Oligoscan and blood test?
If a blood test changes from day to day depending on the evolution of certain diseases, the tissue test carried out by the Oligoscan will not vary daily, on the contrary, it will be relatively stable because it shows the measurements of blood reserves. 'body. It highlights the patient's lifestyle habits and towards which imbalances they are moving.
Spectrophotometry will allow preventive action, while a blood test will be very useful for emergency medicine. Spectrophotometry is a kind of light biopsy.
Oligoscan and hair transplant
Hair loss is a complex and multi-criteria process. Oligoscan will highlight shortages of silicon, zinc, sulfur, etc. This assessment will make it possible to understand the causes of these potential deficiencies (apart from dietary habits) and to propose corrective actions to be undertaken.
It is therefore very useful in the context of a hair transplant since it allows the graft to be prepared upstream by strengthening the hair but also downstream to secure the grafts.
