Understanding Results

How to interpret your hair analysis data

Total Strand Count

The total strand count represents the number of individual hair strands detected in the analyzed image area. This is the primary metric for measuring hair density.

Example: A result of 150 strands means our AI detected 150 individual hairs in the scanned area.

Hair Grouping Breakdown

Hair naturally grows in groups (follicular units). Our AI categorizes hairs into 7 groups based on how many strands emerge from the same follicular unit:

Group 1

Single hair follicular units

1 hair

Group 2

Two-hair follicular units

2 hairs

Groups 3-7

Multi-hair follicular units

3-7 hairs

💡 Clinical Significance: Higher numbers in groups 2-4 typically indicate healthier, denser hair growth patterns.

Annotated Image

The annotated image shows bounding boxes around each detected hair group with labels indicating:

  • Group number (1-7 hairs per unit)
  • Confidence score (0-1, higher is more certain)

Density Analysis Results

When using density analysis, you receive all hair counting metrics plus detailed density measurements:

Hairs per cm²

Average hair density across sampled regions

avg_hairs_per_cm2

Per-Region Analysis

Individual density measurements for each sampled area

per_region_analysis

💡 Note: Density analysis requires a px_per_mm calibration value. Set this once and it's saved to your account.

Baldness Analysis (Norwood Scale)

Baldness analysis classifies hair loss severity using the Norwood scale (stages I-VII):

Stage I-II

Minimal to slight recession

Minimal

Stage III-IV

Moderate recession and thinning

Moderate

Stage V-VII

Significant to extensive hair loss

Advanced

Before/After Comparison

Before/after comparisons analyze two images and provide:

  • Individual analysis of both before and after images
  • Annotated images for both photos
  • Comparison summary with change metrics

💡 Best results: Use the same lighting, angle, and distance for both images. Costs 2 credits per comparison.

Tracking Progress Over Time

For treatment efficacy or transplant success monitoring:
