Phototrichoscopy & Trichoscopy

Phototrichoscopy & Trichoscopy at Istanbul Clinic

Accurate diagnostics for the health of your hair

In modern trichology, precise diagnostics is the key to successful treatment and hair restoration. At Istanbul Clinic in Makhachkala, we use advanced methods—phototrichoscopy and trichoscopy—to identify the causes of hair loss, select effective therapy, or plan the ideal hair transplant.

What are trichoscopy and phototrichoscopy?

Trichoscopy is a non-invasive examination of the hair and scalp using a digital microscope (trichoscope). It magnifies the image dozens of times and helps assess follicle condition, hair density, and signs of inflammation or hidden disease.

Phototrichoscopy is an enhanced approach that records standardized photos and videos. It allows us to track progress over time and compare results before and after therapy or transplantation.
