Before the Scalp Detection Procedure This stage focuses on preparation to ensure accurate analysis and results. 1. Consultation The trichologist or scalp expert begins by discussing your hair concerns such as dandruff, excessive oil, dryness, itching, or hair fall. They also ask about your daily hair care routine, diet, stress levels, and any previous treatments, since these factors influence scalp health. 2. Scalp Preparation You are usually advised to come with a clean scalp, free from oil, styling products, or sprays, as these can interfere with the scanning process. If needed, the expert will gently part or adjust the hair to clearly expose the scalp. 3. Preliminary Observation Before using the scanner, the expert may visually examine your scalp for signs of redness, flakes, or irritation to get a basic understanding before the detailed digital analysis begins. ⸻ During the Scalp Detection Procedure A high-resolution scalp analyzer or digital microscope is used to magnify your scalp up to 200 times. The expert scans different areas — such as the crown, sides, and back — to check for: • Hair follicle density • Oil or sebum production levels • Dandruff or buildup • Inflammation or infection • Hair root and pore condition The images appear on a monitor in real time, and the process takes about 10–15 minutes. It is completely non-invasive and painless. ⸻ After the Scalp Detection Procedure This phase involves result interpretation and planning suitable treatments. 1. Result Discussion The expert explains the findings, showing magnified images of your scalp. They identify your scalp type — oily, dry, sensitive, or balanced — and highlight any problem areas that need attention. 2. Personalized Treatment Plan A customized treatment plan is then suggested. It may include: • Deep scalp cleansing or detox therapy • Anti-dandruff or hair growth treatments • Specific scalp serums or mild shampoos • Lifestyle and dietary advice for better scalp health 3. Follow-Up You may be advised to repeat scalp detection every three to six months to monitor progress and prevent recurrence of scalp issues.
