HairCam

HairCam is a high-resolution trichoscopy imaging tool that captures detailed images of your scalp and hair. It uses magnification and polarized light to provide clear, detailed visuals, allowing our specialists to assess the health of your scalp and hair comprehensively. This tool helps identify various scalp conditions and hair loss patterns that might not be visible to the naked eye.

HairCam is particularly useful in diagnosing different types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), alopecia areata (an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss), scarring alopecia (like Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia FFA and Lichen Planus LPP), and telogen effluvium (a condition where stress causes hair to shed). The detailed images help distinguish between these conditions and others, ensuring that the correct treatment is prescribed.

Here is a list of common hair loss problems easily diagnosed and monitored using HairCam trichoscopy:

• Androgenetic Alopecia: A genetic condition mediated by hormones that causes progressive miniaturization of hair follicles leading to Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss.
• Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss on the scalp and other body parts.
• Lichen Planopilaris: A type of lichen planus affecting the scalp, leading to scarring and hair loss.
• Trichotillomania: A psychological condition where individuals pull out their hair, resulting in patchy hair loss.
• Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair loss often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
• Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm): A fungal infection that can cause hair loss, itching, and red, scaly patches.
• Folliculitis: Inflammation or infection of the hair follicles, sometimes leading to hair loss.

Scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and folliculitis can contribute to hair loss. HairCam allows for close examination of the scalp, helping to identify these conditions early and integrate appropriate treatments into the hair restoration plan.

Here is a list of common scalp health conditions we can diagnose and monitor using HairCam trichoscopy:

• Dandruff (Seborrheic Dermatitis): Characterized by flaky, itchy scalp, often caused by yeast overgrowth or skin conditions.
• Psoriasis: An autoimmune condition resulting in thick, red, scaly patches on the scalp.
• Scalp Acne: Involves clogged pores leading to pimples or cysts on the scalp.
• Contact Dermatitis: An allergic reaction to hair products or dyes, causing an itchy, inflamed scalp.
• Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): A chronic skin condition affecting the scalp, causing itching, redness, and flakiness.
• Pityriasis Amiantacea: Characterized by scalp scaling with thick, asbestos-like scales around the hair shafts.
