Trichoscopy & Scalp Analysis in Coimbatore
Follicle-level clues that point to why your hair is actually thinning.
Quick Answer
Trichoscopy is a non-invasive, magnified examination of the scalp and hair follicles using a handheld device, revealing follicle-level clues — hair shaft thickness variation, follicle density, and specific patterns — that point toward the likely cause of hair thinning. It takes about 15–30 minutes, causes no discomfort, and results are discussed the same visit.

What Is Trichoscopy / Scalp Analysis?
Trichoscopy is a non-invasive, magnified examination of the scalp and hair, using a handheld device to look closely at individual follicles and the surrounding scalp skin. Under magnification, features become visible that aren't apparent to the naked eye or from shedding patterns alone — variation in hair shaft thickness, follicle density and distribution, signs of scalp inflammation, and specific patterns associated with different types of hair loss.
Trichoscopy on its own gives useful clues, but it's rarely the whole picture — at Lashine, it's combined with your personal and hormonal history, and where needed, additional testing, as part of a complete Hair Fall Diagnosis. This is what allows your dermatologist to distinguish, for example, genetic pattern thinning from stress-related shedding or an inflammatory scalp condition, each of which needs a different treatment approach entirely.
Trichoscopy is a diagnostic examination, not a treatment in itself. Any regrowth plan — including PRP, GFC, or QR678 — is a separate step recommended based on the findings, not something this examination performs on its own.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Anyone wanting an actual cause behind their hair thinning — not just a next product to try — is the core fit for trichoscopy at Lashine.
Tried Over-the-Counter Products Already?
If you've tried OTC products without knowing whether they even matched your actual cause, trichoscopy gives you evidence to work from before spending on the next one.
Unexplained Thinning
Shedding or a widening parting, wanting the actual cause
Starting a Regrowth Plan
Want the cause confirmed before PRP, GFC, or QR678
No Clear Pattern
Hair loss that doesn’t fit an obvious pattern
Wants a Baseline
A scalp and follicle assessment to track future change
Who Should Be Cautious, or Know the Limits
One Part of a Full Diagnostic Picture
Trichoscopy alone doesn’t always give a complete answer — it’s typically one part of a full diagnostic picture that includes history and, sometimes, other tests.
Shows the Present, Not the Past
It examines the current state of visible follicles; it can’t retroactively explain hair already lost, only inform what’s happening now and what’s likely to help going forward.
Not a Treatment in Itself
This is not a treatment in itself; any regrowth plan is a separate step recommended based on the findings.
Very Early Changes Can Be Subtle
A single normal-looking result doesn’t rule out a condition that’s just beginning, even under magnification.
Not a Single-Word Diagnosis
Trichoscopy contributes clues — the fuller answer often comes from combining it with your history as part of Hair Fall Diagnosis, rather than an instant, definitive verdict.
How a Trichoscopy Examination Works.
A five-step approach at Lashine — from your hair loss history to a magnified follicle examination, plain-terms results, and a clear next step.
Discussing Your Hair Loss History
Your dermatologist asks about when thinning started, its pattern, and any relevant hormonal, medical, or family history.
Magnified Scalp & Follicle Examination
A handheld trichoscope is used to examine multiple areas of the scalp under magnification, looking at follicle density, hair shaft characteristics, and any signs of scalp inflammation.
Pattern Assessment
Findings are assessed against recognized patterns associated with genetic thinning, stress-related shedding, inflammatory conditions, and other causes.
Results, in Plain Terms
You’re talked through the findings and what they suggest, without being left to interpret unexplained jargon on your own.
Next Step Recommendation
Findings feed into your full Hair Fall Diagnosis, from which you’re guided toward Hair Loss Treatment or a structured Hair Regrowth Treatment plan, whichever fits your confirmed cause.
The full examination takes about 15\u201330 minutes, with results discussed the same visit.

What Happens After Your Results.
Depending on what trichoscopy reveals, your dermatologist recommends the next step that actually fits your follicles — not a default plan.
Findings become your ongoing record.
Straightforward Hair Loss Treatment
For genetic, hormonal, or stress-related thinning, your dermatologist may recommend starting straightforward Hair Loss Treatment.
Structured Regrowth Plan, If Appropriate
Or move toward a structured Hair Regrowth Treatment plan involving PRP, GFC, or QR678 if active follicle stimulation is appropriate.
Inflammatory or Infectious Conditions Come First
If findings point to an inflammatory or infectious scalp condition instead, that’s addressed first, since starting regrowth therapy on an unstable scalp underperforms.
Becomes Part of Your Ongoing Record
Whichever direction it goes, you won’t be redoing this assessment at your next appointment — it becomes part of your ongoing hair-loss record.
Nothing to Recover From — Just a Bit to Bring.
It's an examination, not a procedure — the only real preparation is context that helps interpret the findings.
No downtime — it's just an examination.
Nothing to Recover From
There’s nothing to recover from — it’s an examination, not a procedure.
Track Changes If Monitoring
If your dermatologist recommends monitoring before deciding on treatment, keep track of any visible changes between now and your next visit.
Bring Product & History Details
Bring details of any hair products, medications, or recent hormonal changes to your appointment — this context helps interpret what trichoscopy shows.

Trichoscopy is a non-invasive, magnified examination of the scalp and hair follicles that reveals follicle-level detail — shaft thickness, density, and pattern clues — not visible to the naked eye or from shedding alone.
It identifies scalp and follicle-level clues that point toward likely causes, such as pattern thinning versus inflammatory causes, and is usually combined with your history and, if needed, other tests as part of a full Hair Fall Diagnosis, rather than giving a single-word answer on its own.
No. It’s a non-invasive examination — the trichoscope is simply held against the scalp, with no discomfort involved.
A handheld magnifying device is used to examine multiple areas of the scalp, looking at follicle density, hair shaft characteristics, and any signs of scalp inflammation, with results explained the same visit.
Yes, in practice — confirming the cause of your hair loss through trichoscopy and a full Hair Fall Diagnosis is what determines whether an active regrowth technology like PRP, GFC, or QR678 is actually the right next step, or whether medical management alone is more appropriate first.
It shows follicle density, hair shaft thickness variation, and patterns associated with different causes of hair loss, along with visible signs of scalp inflammation or irritation if present.
It’s built into the cost of your diagnostic visit rather than billed as a separate line item — your dermatologist can give you a real number once they know what your visit involves.
