Additional tests
The tensile test is to manually sort between two fingers a strand of hair about ten . It must not fall more than 3 hair on each trial. The results will be recorded at each visit the doctor pat.
standardized photographs serve as a benchmark to track the evolution of baldness or the effectiveness of a hair loss treatment .
The macrophotographs are made with high magnification on a scalp surface states, labeled with a marker. They allow an accurate count of hair before and after treatment hair loss.
The t richogramme is a microscopic examination of hair unwashed for 3 days and collected at three different locations. It helps differentiate hair phase of their growth during times of rest. By calculating the ratio between these hair, normally obtained an index of growth of hair greater than 5. a ratio below 3 indicates clearly the abnormal fall of hair.
trichogram The photo-and photo-tractio Trichogramma are variations of the study consist trichogramme.ils photograph of a small area of your scalp. Simple to perform, they can be easily repeated to monitor the evolution of baldness.
