TrichoScan® – User Survey

Approx. 3 – 6 months after the purchase of TrichoScan®-Software, physicians were asked to fill in a questionnaire. Users of TrichoScan® Professional were asked how satisfied they were with the tool, how often TrichoScan was used and who did the different procedures. 187 clients filled in the questionnaire.

How good is TrichoScan®?

135 out of 144 users (93%) gave us an overall positive feedback. Clients with negative experiences were asked about their main complaint. In nearly all cases difficulties with hair clipping and in the use of the hair dye resulted in non-analysable images and consequently in negative scores in our questionnaire.
