ABSTRACT
Photography today is a well-established tool in managing patients with hair loss.1 The ability to photographically document a patient’s condition and monitor change is especially useful in recording the subtle changes often associated with hair loss. Experts in this field rely on various photographic methods to manage their patients, and the approvals for such drugs as minoxidil and finasteride have relied on hair imaging to support their primary and secondary efficacy endpoints.2,3
Photographic methods for documenting hair loss usually include such descriptors as non-invasive, global, macrophotography, dermoscopy, epiluminenscence microscopy, and phototrichogram.
