Overview

Trichoscopy for thinning hair in Baku measures what the mirror cannot: how much thinner individual hairs have become and where. At Paramed, the dermatologist examines the scalp under magnification and compares hair shaft width between zones. Thinner, shorter hairs in one area and normal hairs in another point the doctor towards particular causes. The examination also shows breakage, which is often linked to styling, colouring or heat rather than the follicles. Knowing the difference saves time and money on unsuitable products. Trichoscopy costs 50 AZN, while video trichoscopy with stored images costs 100 AZN.

Benefits

  • ✅ Measures differences in hair shaft width between zones
  • ✅ Separates breakage from true thinning at the follicle
  • ✅ Helps avoid spending on unsuitable hair products
  • ✅ Baseline images for comparing results
  • ✅ Quick and free of needles

Technology

Trichoscopy uses a dermatoscope designed for the scalp. When hair thins, a growing share of shafts become narrower and shorter. The magnified image lets the doctor compare these shafts with healthy ones from another zone. Broken tips and split ends look different from hairs that simply grow thinner. With video trichoscopy, the images are saved and the same areas are checked again after three to four months.

  • Comparison of hair shaft width
  • Breakage versus follicular thinning
  • Saved images in video trichoscopy
  • Re-check after 3–4 months

FAQ

? How does trichoscopy show thinning hair? ⌄

The magnified image shows the width of individual hairs. When a growing share of hairs is narrower than in other zones, the doctor can see thinning before it is obvious in the mirror.

? Can trichoscopy tell breakage from thinning hair? ⌄

Yes. Broken or damaged shafts look different from hairs that grow thinner from the follicle. This helps decide whether to change your routine or start treatment.

? How much does trichoscopy for thinning hair cost? ⌄

Standard trichoscopy costs 50 AZN and video trichoscopy costs 100 AZN. A dermatologist consultation costs 50 AZN and is free with a same-day procedure.

? What treatments are available for thinning hair at Paramed? ⌄

By indication, the doctor may recommend hair mesotherapy, PRP, exosomes or polynucleotides for the scalp. The choice and the price are confirmed after the examination.

? How do I know if thinning hair treatment is working? ⌄

The first sign is usually less hair in the brush. Regrowth and hair thickness are compared with a repeat trichoscopy after three to four months.
