Physiological Profiles of Hair and Scalp Conditions in Korea Population: Servey, Hairological Expert-Diagnosis and New Diagnostic Device

Abstract

Many devices have been widely used to diagnose various skin and scalp disorders. However, existing devices may show few results of measurement contents or inaccuracy of results or inconvenience of use. In this study, two hundreds and forty Korea participants from whole South Korea were enrolled, conducted servey by self-questionnaire, diagnosed scalp type by hairological expert and diagnosed systemically hair and scalp conditions by APM PRO200 device. As the results, women is 70.7% and <20 ages were 99 (41.3%). The most subjects treated with shampoo 1 time per day (65.4%) and didn’t have the dyeing (80.0%). The most frequent was A scalp type (41.7%) in hairological expert-diagnosis. The subjects of 46.3% had mild damage of hair cuticle, good exposure of sclap’s vessel (87.1%), good hair density (78.3%), hair loss status of W type (68.3%), sensitive hair pore status (26.3%), good hiar thickness (91.7%), bad corneous of scalp (47.5%) and scalp status (22.9%) status in diagnosis by APM PRO200 device. In anaysis of relationship between self-questionnaire and physiological profiles of hair and scalp conditions diagnosed by APM PRO200 device, exposure of scalp’s vessel, hair loss status and hair pore status showed significant difference by sex and cuticle status, hair density, hair pore status, corneous of scalp and scalp status showed significant difference by age. Therefore, the diagnosis of hair and scalp conditions can be really facilitated by the APM PRO200 device.
