Trichological examination of the hair and scalp: we determine the cause and propose a treatment
Trichology in Bratislava at the private Dermarevolta clinic focuses on professional diagnosis of the hair and scalp with the aim of identifying the cause of the problems. Dr. Olena Lavreshyna examines the scalp with a digital trichoscope and determines the cause of hair loss already at the first visit. The consultation includes a medical history, trichoscopy and a conclusion with a treatment plan. The whole examination takes 30 minutes. We examine hair loss, dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis, alopecia areata and other scalp problems.
The examination takes place in three steps: medical history, digital trichoscopy, and a conclusion with a treatment plan. We select Regenera Activa, PRP plasma therapy, or mesotherapy based on the results of the trichoscopy and the diagnosis.
The prices of trichology services depend on the type of treatment and the specific hair or scalp condition. The basic trichological hair examination includes a professional consultation, digital trichoscopy, and the proposal of an individual treatment plan. Dermarevolta operates as a private clinic, therefore all trichological examinations and procedures are paid directly at the clinic according to the valid price list.

She treats androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, seborrheic dermatitis, and diffuse hair loss caused by hormonal or nutritional factors. In her examinations, she uses digital trichoscopy, which displays hair density and the condition of the follicles under microscopic magnification.
Based on the results of the trichoscopy, she recommends Regenera Activa, PRP plasma therapy, scalp mesotherapy, or injection therapy for patchy hair loss.
At the Dermarevolta clinic in Bratislava, she provides private care and manages cases of hair loss from the initial examination to the long-term monitoring of treatment results.
For examinations, we use a digital dermatoscope with microscopic magnification. We see the results directly on the screen during the examination. The same device is commonly used in the diagnosis of skin diseases.
Hair loss and scalp problems can be unpleasant, but they are definitely not taboo here. Any questions are welcome, without judgement.
Before any treatment, we determine the cause of hair loss: trichoscopy shows the condition of the follicles, and the medical history reveals possible systemic factors. The treatment is based on the findings.
We tailor each plan based on the trichoscopy results and medical history. The same diagnosis can have different causes and require different treatments.
We determine the frequency of follow-up examinations after the initial findings. Mesotherapy involves a series of 4–6 treatments, while PRP consists of 3 procedures at monthly intervals. We adjust the plan depending on how the scalp reacts.
You book an appointment for a specific day and time. The time slot is reserved exclusively for you. If there is a change, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance.
The initial trichological examination consists of a medical history, digital trichoscopy and a conclusion with a treatment plan. The trichoscope shows the condition of the scalp, hair density and the condition of the follicles under microscopic magnification. The whole examination takes 30 minutes, and you receive the treatment plan the same day.
The cost of the trichological examination depends on the type of examination. Examinations are not covered by health insurance; you pay directly at the clinic.
Do not dye your hair for at least 14 days before the appointment, and do not wash your hair for 2–3 days prior to the examination. Do not use any styling or hair products. The natural condition of the scalp will allow the trichoscope to capture an accurate image of hair density, follicle health, and sebaceous gland activity without distortion.
You should visit a trichologist when hair falls out significantly more than usual, when bald patches appear, or when dandruff and seborrhea do not respond to standard shampoos. Early diagnosis increases the effectiveness of treatment, because follicles capable of regeneration can only be activated during a certain stage of hair loss.
The duration of treatment depends on the diagnosis and the chosen method:
The treatment process is continuously adjusted based on the results of follow-up trichological examinations.
Regenera Activa is a regenerative method that uses progenitor cells from the patient's own tissue to stimulate hair growth. It is suitable for androgenetic alopecia and diffuse hair loss. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, with no downtime, and the entire intervention takes about 60 minutes.
Dr. Olena Lavreshyna practices at the Dermarevolta clinic, offering consultations in Slovak, Ukrainian, and Russian. The examination takes place without a language barrier, which is important for taking a detailed medical history and explaining the treatment plan.
