Teledermatology in Alopecia: A Systematic Review

The systematic review on teledermatology in alopecia, involving 11 studies and 9622 patients, found that teledermatology, particularly with teletrichoscopy, is highly effective for diagnosing and managing hair loss, achieving a 100% diagnostic accuracy. About 52% of patients monitored via telemedicine showed hair growth or improvement. Despite high patient satisfaction and its potential to facilitate treatment, teledermatology visits for alopecia are less frequent compared to other dermatologic conditions. Further research is needed to develop guidelines and maximize teledermatology's potential in alopecia care.
