Abstract
Objective: The aim of this paper is to review the current status and recent progress of the application of novel non-invasive testing technologies in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of scalp hair diseases in recent years, and to discuss their contribution to the improvement of scalp hair health management.
Methods: Through a literature review, the principles and current status of application of technologies such as trichoscopy, microbiological testing, scalp skin physiological function testing, hair physiological index testing, and hair product patch testing, and their specific roles in the management of scalp hair diseases were systematically sorted out.
Results: Trichoscopic intelligent analysis technology can quantitatively assess the hair growth status and provide an objective assessment of the efficacy of hair diseases; microbiological testing provides a laboratory reference for the rapid diagnosis of scalp diseases and clinical use of medication; scalp skin physiological function testing and hair physiological index testing are essential for a comprehensive assessment of the scalp environment and hair health. The patch test can effectively detect allergenic substances, which can help to safely select topical drugs and hair care products, avoid medical risks, and facilitate safety evaluation.
Conclusion: Novel non-invasive testing techniques provide powerful technical support for accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and safe care of scalp hair diseases, and show a broad application prospect. Future research should focus on improving the accuracy and detection efficiency of these techniques to meet the growing demand for scalp hair health management and to promote the development of this field in a more scientific and refined direction.
期刊介绍:
Skin Research and Technology is a clinically-oriented journal on biophysical methods and imaging techniques and how they are used in dermatology, cosmetology and plastic surgery for noninvasive quantification of skin structure and functions. Papers are invited on the development and validation of methods and their application in the characterization of diseased, abnormal and normal skin.
Topics include blood flow, colorimetry, thermography, evaporimetry, epidermal humidity, desquamation, profilometry, skin mechanics, epiluminiscence microscopy, high-frequency ultrasonography, confocal microscopy, digital imaging, image analysis and computerized evaluation and magnetic resonance. Noninvasive biochemical methods (such as lipids, keratin and tissue water) and the instrumental evaluation of cytological and histological samples are also covered.
The journal has a wide scope and aims to link scientists, clinical researchers and technicians through original articles, communications, editorials and commentaries, letters, reviews, announcements and news. Contributions should be clear, experimentally sound and novel.
