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.

Where does the term "TrichoScan" come from?

The word "Tricho" originates from Greek. It is derived from "thrix" (genitive "trichos"), which means "hair." It is often used in a scientific context when referring to hair growth or hair loss, such as in "trichology" (the science of hair).

"Scan" originally comes from the Latin word "scandere" which means "to climb" or "to ascend". Today, the word is commonly used in an extended sense, referring to the process of searching through data, images, or physical objects. In particular, in the field of computing, "scanning" is often used for automated procedures related to the processing of images or data.
