A phototrichogram is an advanced, non-invasive method used primarily in dermatology and trichology to study the properties of hair and the dynamics of hair growth. This technique enables professionals to carry out precise analyses of hair density, growth rates and the phases of the hair growth cycle (such as the anagen and telogen phases). By taking photographic images of a small, specifically selected region of the scalp at different points in time, a detailed picture can be obtained of the changes in the condition of the hair over a certain period of time.
A key advantage of this method is its accuracy and the ability to document changes over time, which is particularly important in the diagnosis of hair loss disorders, the evaluation of treatment success and the general monitoring of hair health. The phototrichogram is thus available as a key tool that provides deep insight into the complex nature of hair growth and contributes significantly to the development of individual treatment strategies.
