Trichology consultation – hair and scalp
Hair loss and thinning, a widening part, or an itchy scalp can be worrying. Dandruff, redness or recurring discomfort may also be reasons to seek advice.
A trichology consultation at DAGDERM in Warsaw focuses on hair and scalp problems. A dermatologist assesses your symptoms and determines the next steps. Sometimes a diagnosis requires additional tests or a follow-up visit.
Introduction
What is a trichology consultation?
A trichology consultation is an appointment focused on the hair and scalp. During the visit, a dermatologist assesses the reported problem, how long it has been present and its characteristics. Previous treatment and hair and scalp care are also taken into account.
The assessment covers both changes in hair density and appearance and scalp symptoms. The aim is to determine what may be causing the symptoms and which next steps are justified. A description of the problem alone is not sufficient to make a diagnosis.
Description
What problems can be discussed during a consultation?
Consider booking a consultation if you notice changes affecting your hair or scalp, especially if they persist or recur.
Excessive hair loss
Hair thinning and a widening part
A receding hairline and temple recession
Localized hair loss and alopecia
An itchy scalp
Flaking and dandruff
Redness and inflammatory changes
Excessive oiliness
Deteriorated hair condition and breakage
Similar symptoms may have different causes and require assessment by a doctor. Itching, flaking or hair thinning do not, on their own, indicate a specific condition.
Hair loss – when should you book an appointment?
More intense or persistent hair loss is worth discussing with a dermatologist, especially if you notice reduced hair density. It matters when the problem started, whether it affects the whole scalp or selected areas, and whether it is accompanied by scalp symptoms. This information helps guide the assessment.
How does it work?
Trichoscopy – when can it be helpful?
Trichoscopy is an examination that allows the hair and scalp to be viewed under magnification. It can help provide a more detailed assessment of changes associated with hair loss or thinning.
The dermatologist decides whether the examination is needed; trichoscopy is not an automatic part of every consultation. At DAGDERM it is available as a separate service for 399 zł.
Indications
How does a trichology consultation work?
The consultation includes a discussion of the problem and an assessment of the hair and scalp. The individual parts of the visit help the dermatologist decide on the next steps:
1. Medical historyWhen the symptoms began, how they have changed and which other symptoms accompany them.
2. Hair and scalp assessmentExamination of the areas affected by the problem.
3. Discussion of treatment and careA review of the products used and any changes noticed after using them.
4. Decision on further diagnostic testsIf the information collected and the examination are not sufficient to explain the problem.
5. Agreeing on the next stepsDiscussion of recommendations, possible treatment or follow-up.
How should you prepare for the visit?
Before the visit, it is useful to prepare:
- information on when the problem began and how it has changed over time;
- a list of medicines and supplements you take;
- any test results related to the problem;
- information about previous treatment and its course;
- the names of products used on the hair and scalp;
- photos showing the previous appearance of your hair, if available.
You do not need to arrange new tests on your own before the consultation. The dermatologist decides whether any are needed.
