How Is an Individual Scalp Assessed in a Hair Loss Diagnosis?

「Reviewed and approved by the Korean Medical Association Medical Advertising Review Committee No. 260127-중-206747」

It is difficult to accurately determine the condition of hair loss based on visible changes alone.

This is because factors that are easy to miss with the naked eye, such as hair thickness, density, scalp inflammation, and the effects of lifestyle habits, can all play a role.

To accurately identify these factors, it is helpful to use equipment that can capture images under consistent conditions and observe hair follicles in detail.

That is why, in recent years, multiple testing devices have been used together to objectively assess the current condition of the scalp and hair.

Photographing and recording the overall scalp and hair loss condition

The scalp can be photographed under fixed lighting and angles, allowing records to be kept under the same conditions.

• Observe the entire head and scalp from multiple directions

• Useful for comparing photos over time

• Baseline data can be secured for tracking changes

The images taken at the first visit become the reference point, and subsequent visits are compared under the same conditions to check for changes in condition.

Detailed imaging of the scalp and hair with a microscope

Microscopes make it possible to closely observe the scalp and hair.

Details such as follicular structure, thickness, and density can be directly reviewed together with medical staff.

• Hair thickness by area

• Hair density per unit area

• Presence of inflammation around follicles

• Scalp condition such as sebum and dead skin cells

• Frontal hairline, crown, sides, back of the head, and more

Comparing differences by area helps identify an individual’s pattern of change.

Comprehensive assessment by the medical staff

Image data, microscopic analysis, and other findings are comprehensively interpreted together with the medical staff’s examination.

The comprehensive assessment process by medical staff is not intended to predict a specific result, but rather serves as an evaluation step to objectively understand the current condition and establish future observation and treatment directions.

Why are regular diagnoses necessary?

The rate of change in hair loss varies greatly from person to person, so during periods when scalp conditions are prone to change, it is helpful to check them at regular intervals.

Just like a regular health checkup, recording changes in scalp and hair condition can be useful for understanding future trends.

If scalp inflammation or sebum changes occur frequently, the interval can be adjusted individually.

Summary of the hair loss diagnosis process at New Hair Hair Transplant Clinic

At New Hair Hair Transplant Clinic, a precise diagnosis is conducted by using equipment-based hair loss diagnosis and direct examinations by medical staff in stages to check the current condition of the scalp and hair from multiple angles.

Each step is not intended to determine a specific outcome or predict treatment effects, but to objectively confirm the current condition of the scalp and hair and understand which factors are influencing it.

The diagnostic data obtained in this way can be used as a basis for accurately understanding the current condition and deciding how to monitor the progress going forward, regardless of whether treatment is carried out.
