• histological features with clinical description,
\n

One of important parts is also a chapter on work organisation at a trichological clinic. Its aim is to help to adequately understand the pathophysiology and clinical pictures of hair and hair damage, and medical and surgical treatments in scalp diseases.

The book is directed at students. However, a complex view of the subject and valuable instructions will surely be useful for trichology practitioners, dermatologists or cosmetologists who treat patients with excessive hair loss.
