Hair loss or thinning hair is a common complaint in clinical dermatology. However, patients seeking advice for hair loss are not necessarily bald and the effects of treatment attempts can be hard to measure. Consequently, there is a need for a sensitive tool to monitor hair loss and treatment response. Such a method must be able to analyze the biological parameters of hair growth, such as hair density (n/cm2), hair diameter (µm), hair growth rate (mm/day), or anagen/telogen ratio. The different versions of TrichoScan® offer such tools and in the following pages you will learn more about the sensitivity, precision, and usefulness of TrichoScan®

TrichoScan®

  • TrichoScan® is the first computerized trichogram made available worldwide that calculates hair growth parameters easily and rapidly.
  • Version 5 recognizes hair using artificial intelligence (AI)
  • It calculates calculates hair density using the new instant analysis, and much more.
  • TrichoScan® is a painless procedure which is highly reliable and gives validated results.
  • It offers very good reproducibility and archivability of the results.

TrichoScan® is a computer-assisted method for determining hair density and hair root status. Images of the scalp are taken using a digital microscope camera. These images are evaluated using special software that determines the key parameters of hair growth automatically or with user guidance.

From version 5 onwards, hair is automatically detected using artificial intelligence (AI). Even curved hair and barely visible hair are now found by the software. This means that in most cases, there is no need to dye the hair.
