Résumé

The precise and reliable diagnosis of hair loss disorders is essential for developing a successful management plan. It is, thus, the responsibility of the dermatologist to select the appropriate diagnostic tools to effectively evaluate patients presenting with hair loss concerns. Fortunately, there is a growing body of noninvasive and invasive diagnostic resources, each with advantages and disadvantages. For the practicing dermatologist, tactile assessments and direct visualization are enhanced with scoring instruments, questionnaires, handheld trichoscopy, and scalp biopsy. For research and clinical study purposes, the more precise, high-resolution tools such as videodermoscopy, optical coherence tomography, and phototrichograms, may be useful.
