Quick answer
Scalp trichoscopy is a non-invasive assessment that uses specialised magnification to examine your scalp, hair follicles and hair shafts in detail.

Elsie offers it as part of consultations and hair restoration programs.
What Is Scalp Trichoscopy?
Scalp Trichoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic assessment that uses specialized magnification to examine the scalp, hair follicles, and hair shafts in detail. This advanced technology allows us to evaluate scalp health beyond what can be seen with the naked eye, helping identify potential concerns that may contribute to hair loss, thinning, or scalp irritation.
Trichoscopy can assist in distinguishing between different types of hair loss, assessing follicle health, and identifying scalp conditions such as inflammation, excessive oil production, seborrheic dermatitis, and other underlying concerns. By gaining a clearer understanding of your scalp's condition, we can provide more informed recommendations and determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your individual needs.
Early Detection Leads to Better Outcomes
Trichoscopy is an important tool for distinguishing between scarring and non-scarring hair loss and can help identify inflammatory scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, excessive oil production, and follicular congestion.
By understanding scalp health at a microscopic level, concerns can often be addressed before further follicle damage occurs.
Benefits include:
- Assessment of scalp health before SMP or PRP
- Early detection of scalp and hair disorders
- Identification of inflammation and scalp conditions
- Improved treatment recommendations

I found Elsie's business, SMP Hair Clinic, on Yelp and chose to get my SMP treatment with her due to her transparency, knowledge and fair pricing. She did NOT overpromise or try to sell me any treatments that I did not need. She instead educated me on the options, what they would do and allowed me to pick what what treatment I wanted to go with. The results were great and I feel much more confident in my hair and am able to style it more freely without worrying about my naked scalp.
