Electronic trichogram

What is trichogramma?

The trichogram is a microscopic examination of the hair roots.

​​

What is a trichogram used for?

​​

It is used to precisely measure the extent of hair loss and to evaluate the proportion of diseased hair in the patient's hair. The objective is to enable the doctor to establish a precise diagnosis, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and then to opt for the most appropriate treatment.​_22200000-0000-0000-0000 -000000000222_

What is its operating principle?

With an electronic trichogram, it is no longer necessary to collect around twenty hairs from three areas of the scalp. We measure three parameters:

  •  the proportion of hair in the growing (anagen), resting (catagen), dead (telogen) or dystrophic (hair matrix lesions) phase on the frontal, temporal and occipital areas of the head

  •  the proportion of anagen hair to that of telogen hair

  •  the diameter of the hair shafts

To determine the cause of hair loss, it is advisable to carry out a trichoscopy(Trichoscopy is a digital counting method that allows you to assess hair loss, painless and non-invasive) or a trichoscan (computer-assisted method for determining hair density and condition of the hairline).​
