Hair analysis test

hair analysis

At Clínica de Freitas, we understand the importance of hair analysis in the diagnosis and treatment of scalp conditions. Our focus on hair analysis allows us to provide personalized hair solutions for each patient.

Today, more and more people are concerned about the health of their hair and seek customized solutions to prevent or treat problems such as hair loss, hair weakness, or scalp disorders. In this context, hair analysis is a fundamental tool for obtaining an accurate scalp diagnosis and developing truly effective treatments.

Whether in a hair clinic, a specialized pharmacy, or even advanced technology salons, this type of scalp and hair study is the starting point for restoring and maintaining healthy and strong hair.

What is a hair analysis and what is it for?

A hair analysis is a technical procedure that allows evaluation of the condition of the hair and scalp through specialized technologies such as digital dermatoscopy or devices like the hair microvisor or FotoFinder system. Its purpose is to provide a personalized hair diagnosis that accurately identifies:

hair type, sebum or dryness level, hair density, hair growth phase ratio (anagen or telogen), and signs of alopecia, dermatitis, or scalp imbalance

This scalp study is especially useful for those looking to prevent hair loss, treat scalp conditions, or simply improve the hair’s health and appearance through a scientific and professional approach.

How is a hair analysis performed?

The hair examination is a quick, non-invasive and completely painless procedure, which may vary slightly depending on the setting (clinic, pharmacy, or specialized salon). Generally, it includes the following steps:

  • Clinical interview, to gather history, care habits, and symptoms such as itching, dandruff, or hair loss
  • Visual and tactile scalp assessment
  • Use of optical devices like the hair microvisor, digital dermatoscopy or advanced technologies like FotoFinder for high-precision digital scalp mapping
  • Diagnostic report with a detailed evaluation and personalized treatment plan

How to know if you need a hair analysis?

Anyone can benefit from a hair analysis, but it is especially recommended in the following cases:

  • Excessive hair loss
  • Weak, brittle, or flat hair
  • Visible scalp problems like redness, itching, or flaking
  • Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues)
  • Family history of alopecia
  • Before starting a hair treatment or hair transplant

Conducting a hair test or scalp check-up is also advisable as part of a preventive care routine, especially if you want to keep your hair healthy throughout all stages of life.

What can a hair analysis reveal?

The scalp and hair study can detect a wide range of conditions. Common findings in a scalp analysis include:

  • Androgenetic or diffuse alopecia
  • Seborrheic or flaking dermatitis
  • Folliculitis or scalp infections
  • Low hair density
  • Alterations in the hair growth cycle
  • Microinflammation or clogged pores

This information allows the development of completely personalized medical, cosmetic, or pharmacological treatments, significantly improving effectiveness and clinical outcomes.

What is the price of a hair analysis?

The price of a hair analysis depends on the type of facility, level of specialization, and technology used.

  • In specialized pharmacies: often free or around €20
  • In salons with scalp diagnostics: between €15 and €40
  • In hair clinics with FotoFinder technology: from €50 to €120
  • In consultations with a trichologist: between €90 and €150, often included free in first visit packages
