Why People Choose Trichoscopy

  • Detects follicle miniaturization before it is visible

  • Identifies inflammation and early scarring

  • Measures follicle density per square centimeter

  • Confirms your exact type of hair loss

  • Gives you a documented baseline to track progress

What Is Trichoscopy?

Trichoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that magnifies the scalp at 200x to reveal hair follicle and scalp conditions invisible to the naked eye. During a trichoscopy session, a certified trichologist systematically images the scalp to measure follicle diameter, calculate miniaturization ratios, identify inflammation patterns like peripilar halos, detect early fibrosis and scarring, and assess follicle density per square centimeter. This data enables accurate identification of specific hair loss types including androgenetic alopecia, CCCA, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and lichen planopilaris.

At Atlanta Trichology, the $99 trichoscopy evaluation includes 45 minutes with a certified trichologist, comprehensive scalp imaging, a personalized treatment roadmap, and copies of all diagnostic images. Dr. Nina Ross, the practice's in-house practitioner, reviews results and designs treatment protocols combining PRP, laser therapy, mesotherapy, and functional medicine. Serial imaging at follow-up visits tracks progress over time. (678) 561-4522.

What Trichoscopy Reveals

In one 45-minute session, trichoscopy shows your certified trichologist exactly what is happening beneath the surface of your scalp:

Every one of these findings feeds directly into the treatment protocol Dr. Nina Ross designs for you. Nothing here happens by guesswork.

Why This Changes Everything

Most people who struggle with hair loss have tried products, supplements, and treatments that did not work. Usually the issue is simple. They were treating the wrong thing.

Trichoscopy identifies the actual problem. CCCA looks different from telogen effluvium under 200x magnification. Androgenetic alopecia looks different from alopecia areata. Each one needs its own approach, and the treatment plan our team builds after your trichoscopy is targeted specifically at what your scalp actually shows.

We do not just image your scalp and send you somewhere else for treatment. Dr. Nina Ross, our in-house practitioner, reviews your trichoscopy results and designs your treatment protocol herself. Our certified trichologists deliver the hands-on treatments and track your progress with follow-up imaging at every visit. If your bloodwork reveals internal drivers like thyroid issues or nutrient gaps, we catch that too through our functional medicine lab. Everything happens under one roof.

How Much Does Trichoscopy Cost?

Your first trichoscopy evaluation at Atlanta Trichology is $99. That covers 45 minutes with a certified trichologist, full scalp imaging, and a personalized treatment roadmap you take home the same day.

Follow-up trichoscopy scans are built into most treatment protocols so your trichologist can track how your scalp is responding and adjust the plan as needed.
