Trichology
Dra. Ana Claudia Shwetz provides trichology care in Curitiba: the field of dermatology that diagnoses and treats hair loss and scalp diseases, with a detailed exam of the hair and the skin.
What is trichology?
It is the study and treatment of the hair and the scalp.
Hair loss has many causes, from hormonal changes and nutritional deficiencies to autoimmune disease and genetics, and each cause needs a different treatment.
The assessment includes the medical history, a scalp exam with dermoscopy (trichoscopy), and, when needed, blood tests or a biopsy.
When to come in
- Hair shedding above normal for more than a few months.
- Thinning hair or visible gaps.
- Dandruff, itching, flaking, or sores on the scalp.
- A family history of baldness, and a wish to prevent it.
