“…It was against this backdrop that in 2010, Yesudian proposed the term dermatotrichologist,[ 2 ] and we alternatively coined the term trichiatrist for board-certified dermatologists dealing with the scientific study of the hair and scalp in health and disease. [ 3 4 5 ] The quality and stringency of the trichiatrist’s graduate medical training are identical to that of fellow physicians of any other discipline, allowing the trichiatrist to be comprehensive in counseling patients, prescribing medication, conducting physical examinations, ordering laboratory tests, and participating with the other medical disciplines in the diagnosis and treatment of hair problems as they may relate to systemic disease. [ 3 4 5 ] Meanwhile, there are individuals who profess themselves publicly as professors of trichology, while there exists no such academic title.…”

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels exposed a pattern of societal conduct they chose to name capitalistic bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie created a common language of communication through collaboration, gathered in circles such as free academies, scientific academies, literary circles, and the media, that provided forums for the emerging bourgeoisie to conceive of new social orders. One aspect of bourgeoisie culture is conspicuous consumption, central to which, is a culture of prestige through material consumption. Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership and the operation for profit. Characteristic features of capitalism include competitive market, commercialism, property rights recognition, capital accumulation, material consumption, culture of prestige, sycophancy, and coterie. Critiques of capitalism allege that it is exploitative, alienating, unstable, unsustainable, and inefficient. In turn, critical theory inspired philosophers such as Michel Foucault to conceptualize how we form identities through social interaction. When the patient’s body entered the field of medicine, it also entered the field of power where the patient can be manipulated by professional authority. Without forcibly being a proponent of political theory, as an academic, one is inevitably confronted with Marxism in terms of philosophy. As a discipline at the interface of medicine, lifestyle, and cosmetics, trichology is particularly susceptible to the primary aims of profit, consumption, and prestige that characterize the capitalistic bourgeoisie. The trichological sciences, particularly trichoscopy, have discovered a profitable market for itself. The practice of trichology is not immune to malpractice. It has created an industry that dwells on the autistic thinking of patients and doctors, and because it is prosperous, makes propaganda among lay people and doctors that necessarily leads to abuses.

Introduction. Medical trichology is a promising and modern direction of cosmetology, engaged in the study of the scalp and hair, both in the state of health and various diseases. However, with all the variety of various scientific publications, there are very few works devoted to the study of morphological changes in normal physiological aging of a person.Aim. To reveal the dynamics of morphological changes in the hair bulb and hair shaft in women in the parietal region to elderly age.Materials and methods. The work is based on the results of microscopic examination of 80 women, the study sample consisted of conditionally healthy individuals. The examined women were divided into three groups depending on their age. The first group included 27 women of the first period of mature age (26.9 ± 0.70 years). The second group consisted of 30 women of the second period of mature age (47.1 ± 1.20 years). The third group was formed by 23 women of old age (62.1 ± 1.09 years). Hair sampling was performed in the parietal region of the head by combing out the hair that had already fallen out (without pulling it out of the skin!). The width of the hair bulb and hair shaft were measured. The percentage of bulbs containing an internal root sheath to the total number of bulbs was calculated.Results and discussion. With age, a decrease in the number of hair follicles with internal root sheath (p < 0.01) along with a tendency to decrease the width of the hair follicle and hair shaft (p > 0.05) was noted in women in the parietal region.Conclusions. The results of this study add to the information available in the scientific literature about age-related changes occurring in the hair bulb and hair shaft in women by old age. The data obtained will be useful for trichologists in medical practice to create clinical recommendations for the early prevention of age-related alopecia areata.

В основу работы положены результаты морфологического анализа у 46 мужчин и 50 женщин, проходивших обследование в медицинском центре по лечению волос и кожи (Пермь) в период 2022–2023 гг. Пациентов в зависимости от возраста разделили на две группы: 1-я — 52 человека (25 мужчин и 27 женщин) первого периода зрелого возраста (21–35 лет); 2-я — 44 человека (21 мужчина и 23 женщины) старческого возраста (75–86 лет). Забор волос производили в височной области головы методом вычесывания расческой уже выпавших волос. Выборку данного исследования составили условно-здоровые лица славянского фенотипа. Рассчитывали ширину волосяной луковицы и стержня волоса. Результаты данного прижизненного сравнительного анализа линейных размеров волосяной луковицы и стержня волоса в височной области у лиц обоего пола первого периода зрелого возраста и старческого возраста позволяют расширить представление об особенностях их возрастных изменений, в дальнейшем продолжить детальное изучение, поскольку новые знания необходимы для разработки современных методик профилактики возраст-ассоциированных патологий волосистой части головы. The work is based on the results of a microscopic examination of 46 men and 50 women who were examined at the medical center for the treatment of hair and skin in the period 2022–2023. Depending on the age of the subjects, they were divided into two groups. The first group included 52 people (25 men and 27 women) of young age (21–35 years old). The second group consisted of 44 people (21 men and 23 women) of senile age (75–86 years old). Hair sampling was performed in the temporal region of the head by combing out the hair that had already fallen out with a comb (they did not pull it out of the skin!). The sample of this study consisted of conditionally healthy individuals of the Slavic phenotype. The width of the hair follicle and the hair shaft were calculated. The results of this lifetime comparative analysis of the linear dimensions of the hair follicle and the hair shaft in the temporal region in persons of both sexes of young and old age allow us to expand the understanding of the features of their age-related changes, and further continue detailed study, since new knowledge is necessary for the development of modern methods for the prevention of age-associated pathologies of the scalp.
