The following online training is designed for doctors, nurses, and medical photographers involved in consultations with potential hair transplantation patients.
The procedure varies slightly depending on hair length (clipped vs. long) but generally includes two main phases: 3D Scanning and Consultation. The Scanning phase, which can be conducted by a nurse or assistant, focuses on 3D scanning and Trichoscopy. Below, we outline the details of each stage using Studio 3D.
Please carefully watch the following videos. Ensure your sound is on, and activate subtitles if needed by clicking the [cc] button.
Part 1: Scanning & Trichoscopy
A. Scanning Process on Clipped Hair for 3D Studio Users
B. Scanning Process on Long Hair for 3D Studio Users
In the videos above, you can find the following:
Scanning
– Patient preparation– Area selection
– Performing the scan– Acceptance & Difference between RAW and AI shape
Trichoscopy
– Marking trichoscopy spots
– Trichoscopy itself
– Statistics
Part 2: Patient Consultation
Once the scanning phase is complete, move on to the patient Consultation.
The Consultation may be performed by the doctor using the studio computer, or on a different computer in a dedicated consultation room. The consultation is usually based on the results of patient’s examination (3Dscan + trichoscopy). However, one can also use just the 3D transplanner and an abstract puppet to explain the key principles and challenges of hair transplantation.
Consultation
