Consultation with a trichologist

What do we do when our hair becomes dull, split and lifeless or starts to fall out? We start by searching online for remedies, changing shampoo, going to the beauty salon and doing revitalizing procedures. Sometimes these measures have a temporary effect, but very often they don’t help at all.

The fact is that hair is one of the indicators of our general state of health. It can react both to environmental factors (sun, humidity, heat and chemicals) and to malfunctions in the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract or the thyroid gland. What causes the change in your appearance, however, is a question that lies in the field of trichology.

What does a dermatologist-trichologist do at the PRIZMA Medical Center in Kyiv?

The trichologist’s main focus is to diagnose and treat hair loss issues, prevent and treat diseases of the scalp and identify hair growth problems and their pathologies.

At Prizma Medical Centre, a trichologist deals with the following issues:

• examination and treatment of diffuse and focal forms of hair loss (alopecia);
• treatment of diseases of the scalp;
• restoration of the hair shaft;
• gives recommendation for hair care;

You should see a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms:

• intense hair loss (more than 100 hairs a day);
• hair thinning is observed (baldness appears, foci of alopecia appear);
• excessive flaking of the scalp (dandruff);
• the structure of the  hair is disturbed;
• the skin is itchy and irritated;
• rashes on the scalp.

The symptoms listed above indicate the need to consult the Medical Centre, despite the fact that such manifestations are more often considered an aesthetic defect.

The task of a qualified trichologist is to identify the cause of the pathology (chronic or acute stress, intoxication, infectious lesions, allergic processes, hormonal disorders, external factors), make the correct diagnosis and prescribe an effective treatment regimen that will restore the beauty and health of your hair.

How does the consultation with a trichologist take place?

During the consultation, the doctor will take your medical history. You will have to answer a number of questions about your health and lifestyle. Chronic and internal diseases, medications you are taking, bad habits, heredity, stress and anxiety that you are experiencing, daily routine, regular exercise, diet, hair care – this information helps the doctor to make a diagnosis.

The trichologist then carries out a visual examination of the hair and scalp. This diagnostic procedure can identify signs of hair and scalp diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis, fungal lesions (mycosis, microsporia), psoriasis of the scalp, etc.

If a patient complains of excessive hair loss, a tension test is performed to determine the amount of hair loss.

During the examination, the doctor may use a trichoscope to assess the density of the hair, the condition of the hair follicle roots, the skin, the vessels and to determine the degree of hair loss.

Hair diseases can be linked to disorders in the body and, as the doctors at the PRIZMA Medical Centre adhere to the principle of an integrated approach to treatment, the trichologist may recommend consultations with related specialists such as an endocrinologist, neurologist and dietitian, and also suggest a biochemical blood test and a blood hormone test.

The doctor will take an individual approach to making a treatment plan on the basis of the conducted examination.

Hair treatment methods

Hair mesotherapy

This is the injection of injectable preparations into the scalp. Cocktails from peptide complexes, vitamins and microelements are used as a preparation, which block hair loss and stimulate the growth of high-quality new hair.

PRP therapy (platelet rich plasma therapy, plasmolifting)

Another injectable method, which involves injecting into your skin your own plasma, obtained by a special method of blood centrifugation. Plasma therapy triggers the process of natural regeneration and is indicated for seborrhea, alopecia (hair loss), hair shaft brittleness and itchy scalp.

Scalp peeling

Peeling helps to cleanse your scalp of keratinized skin cells and styling products. This rejuvenates the scalp, normalizes sebaceous glands function and makes it easier for nutrients to reach the follicles.

Laser therapy

Radiation penetrates the middle layers of the skin and improves blood circulation in the scalp, causing a rush of blood to the follicles and stimulating their growth.

The trichologist can also prescribe medication and always gives advice on how to take care of your hair and scalp at home.
