IYAC is proud to partner with TrichoLAB, the hair folks from Europe, to provide our patients with the TrichoLAB Hair Scan, a comprehensive modern hair examination powered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, to give an objective and unbiased analysis of their hair and scalp.

What’s the Advantage of Using TrichoLAB Hair Scan?

Broadly speaking, the TrichoLAB Hair Scan is good for:

1. Detecting Early Hair Loss
2. Diagnosing Type and Severity of Hair Loss
3. Monitoring the Progress of Hair Growth with treatments

Hair is so THIN that it’s measured in micrometres, impossible to do with the naked eye!

Using TrichoLAB’s AI technology with macro photography, coupled with the diagnostic power of their hair professionals, details such as the individual hair thickness, the number of hair strands arising from each hair follicle, and any distinguishing features of specific hair conditions can be detected, extracted and analysed accurately. 

A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS is the FIRST ESSENTIAL STEP.

Understanding the type of hair loss will pave the way for a customised treatment plan, be it medications, nutritional support, scalp-stimulating (hair cpr ) or regenerative therapy (Regenera Activa).

The scan can diagnose and monitor a variety of hair and scalp disorders, including:

• Androgenetic Alopecia (most common, male-pattern baldness)
• Female-pattern Hair Loss (also common)
• Alopecia Areata (patchy hair loss)
• Telogen Effluvium (temporary hair loss)
• Seborrheic Dermatitis (scaly, itchy scalp with dandruff)
• Psoriasis (a chronic scaly, red skin condition)

 

How Do I Prepare for TrichoLAB Hair Scan?

The TrichoLAB Hair Scan is non-invasive, painless and uses a high-powered microscope to scan the hair and multiple points of the scalp. 

It takes only 15 to 20 minutes to complete, in the comfort and privacy of our consult room.

When Should I Consider a TrichoLAB Hair Scan?

 Here are some reasons for a TrichoLAB Hair Scan:

• You are curious about the overall health of your scalp, even if you have yet to experience any hair loss. (Just like an annual health check!)
• There is noticeable hair loss or changes:  Some signs include thinning, increased shedding or changes in texture, such as more frizz.  The scalp looks more exposed, the parting is widening or the hairline is receding.
• There’s a family history of hair loss.
• You are taking medication that may cause hair loss, such as immunosuppressants or hormones.
• You have a scalp condition, such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.

 

An early diagnosis allows a head start for appropriate treatment. Generally, the earlier the intervention, the better the results.
