Before starting hair loss treatment,

do you know

what you must do first?

It is hair loss testing.

Simply because you have hair loss symptoms

does not mean you should start treatment

without a plan;

otherwise, the results may actually be worse.

Hair loss can occur for many reasons.

Stress, genetic factors, scalp

health issues, and other causes all vary.

Therefore, it is important to receive an accurate

diagnosis of your condition and choose

a method that fits it.

In this post, we will look in detail at why

hair loss testing is important and

how the process works.

  1. Why is hair loss testing necessary?

To receive good hair loss treatment,

it is important to identify

the cause of the problem.

If the scalp condition is not healthy,

even the best treatment will

not bring major changes.

For example,

if inflammation of the scalp is the cause,

you should treat the inflammation first

before beginning the main treatment.

The treatment method also changes

depending on the type of hair loss.

You need an accurate diagnosis of whether it is

male pattern hair loss,

female pattern hair loss,

or diffuse hair loss.

If the wrong treatment is applied,

not only will time and money be wasted,

but the condition may even worsen.

Hair loss testing is the first step

to prevent these problems.

  1. How have the latest hair loss testing methods

been upgraded?

Recently, hair loss testing has become

even more precise thanks to advances in technology.

In the past, it was common to use a DSLR camera

to visually check the scalp condition.

But now, comprehensive testing is possible,

including a 3D scanner,

microscope, and even a stress test.

The 3D scanner takes 540 photos of the scalp

to provide a detailed analysis.

Because it captures images from the same angle

and in the same environment, it is possible

to compare past and current conditions accurately.

Through a microscope, you can check hair thickness,

density, and whether there is scalp inflammation.

With a stress test, brain waves and pulse waves

are analyzed to understand how stress

affects hair loss.

  1. Detailed process of hair loss testing

It consists of a total of four steps.

The first is scalp condition analysis using

a 3D scanner.

The second is a step in which the follicles

and scalp condition are examined in detail

through a microscope.

In this process, hair density and thickness are measured

by scalp area, and problem areas can be

visually identified.

The third step is a stress test.

By measuring brain waves and heart rate,

it checks how much stress is affecting

hair loss.

The final step is the doctor’s diagnosis,

where a plan suited to each patient is established

based on the data above.

  1. The advantages of hair loss testing and

expected results

The biggest advantage of hair loss testing

is that it can detect early hair loss quickly.

In the early stages, it is hard to notice hair loss,

but if you check your condition through testing,

you can start treatment at the right time.

It is also possible to objectively determine

how quickly ongoing hair loss is progressing.

Based on the diagnosis results,

treatment can proceed.

Among various methods such as follicle injections,

medication treatment,

and laser treatment,

you can choose the one that is appropriate

for your condition.

Hair loss treatment

is not simply finished by taking medicine or

receiving a procedure.

What matters is accurately understanding

your condition through proper

hair loss testing.

Depending on the diagnosis results, the method

changes, and accordingly the likelihood

of treatment success can also vary greatly.

If you are worried about hair loss,

don’t worry alone.

Check your condition through accurate hair loss testing,

and consult with medical staff to find a treatment method.

Hair loss treatment depends on

quick diagnosis and consistent management!
