TrichoLAB

Effective treatment of hair loss requires an accurate diagnosis. Using the innovative TrichoLAB method, we analyze your scalp precisely and gently with AI-assisted microscopy—without shaving or pulling out any hair.

What is TrichoLAB?

TrichoLAB is a highly advanced, computer- and AI-based method for the precise analysis of hair and scalp conditions. It combines digital trichoscopy—the microscopic examination of the scalp using a special camera—with automated image analysis.

Unlike outdated examination methods such as the traditional trichogram, the TrichoLAB analysis is completely painless for you. No hair samples need to be taken, nor do individual areas of the scalp need to be shaved. The camera is simply gently placed on the affected areas to capture high-resolution images of the hair roots and follicle openings.

The system then measures key parameters of your hair health with mathematical precision:

  • Hair density: The exact number of hairs per square centimeter.
  • Hair thickness: The exact diameter of individual hair shafts for the early detection of hair thinning.
  • Growth cycles: The relative proportion of hairs in the growth phase (anagen phase).
  • Scalp condition: Visible abnormalities such as redness, dandruff, or microhemorrhages.

The image and measurement data obtained not only enable an accurate initial diagnosis of the cause of hair loss but also serve as a reliable basis for future comparisons. This allows the success of an initiated treatment to be objectively and transparently demonstrated over time.

The TrichoLAB Hair Analysis Process

The examination is completely painless and does not involve any interference with your hair structure. Unlike traditional diagnostic procedures, no hair needs to be pulled out or plucked, so your scalp remains completely untouched during the treatment.

Using a special high-resolution camera, we gently scan the affected areas of your scalp. The optical system provides highly magnified microscopic images that reveal even the smallest changes in the hair follicles and skin structure.

AI-powered software precisely analyzes the images and determines objective metrics. You’ll receive exact data on your hair density per square centimeter, individual hair thickness, and the precise ratio of growing to resting hairs.

Precise digital photographic documentation allows for seamless comparison of subsequent follow-up examinations with baseline values. This makes it possible to transparently and measurably track the success of initiated therapies over the course of months. Thanks to clear diagnostic results, there is no need to experiment with unsuitable treatments. We can immediately initiate a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition, saving valuable time and resources.

The Benefits of TrichoLAB at a Glance

  • No painful removal of hair follicles
    Your scalp and hair remain completely untouched and undamaged throughout the entire examination.
  • No shaving required
    Measurements are taken directly on the unshaven scalp. You’ll leave the office looking exactly the same as when you walked in.
  • Precise analysis with high-resolution camera microscopy
    The combination of high-resolution camera microscopy and intelligent software detects even the smallest changes in hair roots and follicle openings that are invisible to the naked eye.
  • Objective measurement data
    You’ll receive a mathematical analysis of your exact hair density (hairs/cm²), average hair thickness, and the precise ratio of growing to shedding hairs.
  • No guesswork when it comes to your treatment plan
    An accurate diagnosis saves you from trying ineffective or inappropriate treatments.

After the Diagnosis: Your Personalized PRP Therapy

An accurate diagnosis is most beneficial when it leads to a targeted treatment plan. The TrichoLAB analysis provides the ideal foundation for PRP therapy:

  • Targeted growth stimulation: Processed autologous blood plasma delivers valuable growth factors directly to the weakened hair follicles.
  • Outcome monitoring: Repeated TrichoLAB measurements taken several months apart provide objective evidence of increased hair density and thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions About the TrichoLAB Hair Analysis

How long does the evaluation take, and what happens next?

The detailed evaluation of your TrichoLAB analysis usually takes about a week.

As soon as your evaluation is available, we recommend that you schedule an appointment at our hair clinic. Based on this medical assessment, we will present you with the appropriate treatment options and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

Online Appointment Booking for the Hair Consultation

It’s best to wash your hair for the last time about 24 hours before your appointment. On the day of the exam, avoid using mousse, hairspray, styling gel, or touch-up powder (to cover stray hairs) so that the camera has a clear view of your scalp.

TrichoLAB is suitable for nearly all types of hair changes, including hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), diffuse hair loss (e.g., due to nutritional deficiencies, stress, or illness), and circular hair loss (alopecia areata).

The TrichoLAB analysis is a private service (IGeL) billed according to the German Scale of Medical Fees (GOÄ). Private health insurance companies or government subsidy agencies often reimburse the costs. For those with public health insurance, this is a service that must be paid for out of pocket.
