Trichology
Medical trichology is a branch of dermatology dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the scalp.
The basic trichological examination is trichoscopy. It should be stressed that a precisely performed examination can be the basis for the correct diagnosis of the cause of excessive hair loss. Additionally, a trichologist can select appropriate laboratory tests, extend the diagnostics if necessary, and plan and conduct the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
First of all, a consultation visit with a medical trichoscopy assessment is recommended. The problem in each patient may be different, although it may often look quite similar. Therefore, it is worth first defining the area of the examination and then performing targeted tests to individualize the treatment.
Did you know that the creator of TRICHOSCOPY worldwide is the outstanding Polish professor Lidia Rudnicka and her colleagues! Using the technique created and developed by a team of doctors, dermatologists around the world are able to precisely diagnose and monitor their patients.
Male androgenetic alopecia is an inevitable androgen-dependent progressive hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals and affects up to 80% of men (but also 40% of women) in our population. Currently it is believed that early implementation of treatment can often effectively inhibit this process. The earlier the treatment is implemented, the greater the chances for the success of the therapy.
The doctor often selects strengthening therapies for the scalp in addition to standard pharmacological treatment. Scalp mesotherapy or peptide hair therapy are innovative treatments that reduce hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth. It should be noted that the treatment must often be repeated for full effect.
