Microscope Walk-Through: Reading Your TrichoScan

Have you ever looked at the clump of hair in your shower drain and wondered what is really going on with your scalp? Do you keep trying new shampoos, hair oils, or home remedies, only to see the same results – or worse, no results at all? If you feel lost in your hair fall journey, it is time to get a clearer picture. Literally.

Welcome to the world of TrichoScan – a modern microscope-backed analysis that shows exactly what your scalp is trying to tell you.

What Is a TrichoScan and Why Should You Care?

Think of TrichoScan as a magnifying glass into your hair’s actual health. It is not just a fancy term tossed around in clinics. It is a digital microscope-based scan that assesses hair density, thickness, growth rate, and the overall condition of your scalp.

So, instead of guessing whether your hair is in the growth phase or resting phase, TrichoScan gives you real data. And that is where your true hair revival begins.

Who Needs a TrichoScan?

Do you:

• Lose more than 100 strands a day?
• Notice your parting line getting wider?
• See visible patches of your scalp?
• Feel itching or redness that never seems to go away?
• Have plans for a hair transplant but want clarity first?

If you nodded yes to even one, your scalp is trying to send a message. A TrichoScan decodes it – clearly, clinically, and without pain.

What Happens During the Scan?

Let us walk you through it.

A small section of your scalp – usually 2 square centimetres – is gently trimmed. Do not panic, it is barely noticeable. Then, a digital camera zooms in, capturing high-resolution images of your hair roots.

No, you do not need to dye your hair. The system reads your follicles, hair diameter, and even counts the hairs you cannot see with the naked eye. In less than 20 minutes, you will have a digital report loaded with details.

Sounds high-tech? That is because it is.

Understanding the Report: Not as Complicated as It Looks

This is where most people get overwhelmed. Charts. Percentages. Fancy words like anagen and telogen. Relax. Let us break it down.

• Hair Density: This tells you how many hair strands exist in a square centimetre of your scalp. Low density = visible thinning.
• Hair Thickness: Are your strands becoming baby-fine? This tells you whether your hair is miniaturising.
• Growth Phase Ratio: This ratio shows how many of your hairs are actively growing (anagen) and how many are resting (telogen). A healthy scalp has more in the anagen phase.
• Hair Growth Rate: Measured in millimetres per day. If your growth is too slow, it explains why you never see progress.

You do not need to memorise these. You just need to see the patterns. And once you do, you and your hair expert can map out a targeted treatment plan.

What Does a Poor Report Mean?

Do not panic if your report looks less than ideal. In fact, that is when it becomes most useful. A low hair count? We now know exactly where and why.

More telogen hairs than anagen? We can identify what is holding your follicles back. TrichoScan does not just diagnose. It guides. Think of it as a GPS for your hair revival journey. Once you have the coordinates, the path becomes much easier to follow.

How Often Should You Do a TrichoScan?

Great question. If you are actively experiencing hair loss or undergoing treatment, doing it every 3 to 6 months helps track your progress.

It is especially useful before and after treatments like PRP, mesotherapy, or transplant. This way, you see tangible proof of improvement, not just a ‘feeling’ that it might be working.

Why Guess When You Can Know?

Imagine trying to fix a car without knowing what is wrong. You would not keep replacing parts at random, right? Your scalp deserves the same logic. Whether it is genetics, stress, hormonal imbalance, or a reaction to products – TrichoScan helps you pinpoint the real cause. 

And the best part? It is completely non-invasive and requires no recovery time. You walk in confused, and you walk out with answers.
