How to tell if you have hair miniaturization?

This needs an in-person evaluation.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hair loss expert to go over your condition and advise you on best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

An up close examination by a physician who uses dermoscopy can help you figure out if you have miniaturization or not.

You can have your doctor look at your hair with a hand microscope to see if there is miniaturization. A better test for balding is the HAIRCHECK instrument which will measure the bulk of the hair in different parts of the scalp. See below
