Trichoscopy Hair & Scalp Assessment
Advanced Diagnostic Imaging for Hair Loss

gr2.jpeg

Due to the growing demand for hair loss treatments at Papillon Bleu Aesthetics, we are proud to offer trichoscopy – a non-invasive, high-resolution imaging technique that allows us to analyze the scalp and hair in detail.

Using the newest digital trichoscopy technology, we can precisely evaluate your hair follicles, scalp health, and patterns of thinning to create a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.

What Is Trichoscopy?

​​​​​Trichoscopy is a specialized form of dermatoscopic imaging used to examine the hair and scalp at high magnification.
It allows us to see:

  • Hair shaft thickness and miniaturization

  • Density and number of hairs per follicular unit

  • Signs of inflammation or scarring

  • Scaling, redness, and changes in the scalp surface

  • Early patterns of hair loss that may not be obvious to the naked eye

This detailed assessment helps differentiate between different types of hair loss and guides us toward the most effective treatment options.

Conditions We Assess With Trichoscopy

Trichoscopy is especially helpful for diagnosing and monitoring:

  • Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss)

  • Telogen effluvium (shedding and diffuse thinning)

  • Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)

  • Scarring alopecias (CICATRICIAL alopecias)

  • Seborrheic dermatitis and scalp inflammation

  • Other scalp conditions affecting hair growth and quality

By understanding the type and stage of hair loss, we can target the root cause instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why Trichoscopy Is Important Before Treatment

Many hair loss conditions look similar on the surface but behave very differently and respond to different treatments.

Trichoscopy allows us to:

  • Confirm the diagnosis instead of guessing

  • Detect early miniaturization before visible bald spots appear

  • Determine whether hair follicles are still active and responsive

  • Decide if the hair loss is inflammatory, hormonal, stress-related, or scarring

  • Track your progress objectively over time with repeat images

This ensures that when we recommend a treatment—such as PRP, exosomes, microneedling, or medical therapy—we’re doing so based on clear, visual evidence.

What to Expect During Your Trichoscopy Visit

Your trichoscopy assessment is comfortable and non-invasive. There are no needles and no downtime.

  1. Consultation
    We begin with a detailed discussion of your concerns, medical history, family history of hair loss, lifestyle, and previous treatments.

  2. Scalp & Hair Imaging
    A specialized handheld device with magnification and polarized light is used to capture detailed images from multiple areas of your scalp (frontal, crown, sides, and occipital region).

  3. Analysis & Diagnosis
    The high-resolution images are reviewed and interpreted by your physician, looking for patterns of thinning, miniaturization, inflammation, or scarring.

  4. Personalized Treatment Plan
    Based on the findings, we design a customized plan, which may include:

    • PRP or exosome treatments for hair restoration

    • Medical therapies (topical and/or oral)

    • In-office scalp treatments and microneedling

    • Medical-grade hair care recommendations and lifestyle guidance

  5. Follow-Up & Monitoring
    Repeat trichoscopy sessions are performed at intervals to compare before and after images, allowing us to measure your response and optimize your plan.
