Scalp skin analysis with the scalp camera

Gianni Coria Kopfhaut Analyse

Analysis of the scalp for hair loss and hair problems

During the scalp analysis, the YELASAI hair growth specialist examines your scalp at 50x and 200x magnification. Around 30 pictures of your scalp clearly show you the reasons that led to the current condition of your hair.

Through professional analysis with the scalp camera you can see how:

- how well your hair roots are nourished
- how much hair is in the growth phase
- what consistency the oil has on your scalp
- how much dead hair there is
- what hair thickness the newly growing hair has
- whether every scalp pore is covered with a hair
- and much more.

The appointment

How the scalp analysis works

An appointment with a YELASAI hair growth specialist has four steps and usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. Come with unwashed hair or hair washed the day before and without styling products, so your scalp shows its everyday condition.

1. Conversation 10 to 15 minutes

Since when have you noticed the change, what have you tried so far, how do you care for your hair today? Plus questions about daily life, diet, sleep and stress. The conversation gives the images their context.

2. Images 10 minutes

First an overview photo with a phone for the contours and the overall hair quality. Then about 23 micro-camera images in defined regions of the head: 50x for the distribution of the hair and the scalp, 200x for the hair roots and follicle openings, UV light for sebum and deposits. The camera is only placed lightly on the scalp; nothing is marked, shaved or removed.

3. Review on screen 15 to 20 minutes

You see your images right away and learn what they show: how the hairs emerge from the scalp, how strong they are, whether the follicle openings are clear, how the sebum is distributed. The evaluation is AI-assisted and put into context by your specialist.

4. Care plan 10 minutes

The conversation and the images result in a care plan for home: which care, in which order, how often, and when the next look makes sense. It is a recommendation, with no obligation to buy.

Region, not spot. The scalp is not marked. Follow-up images are therefore taken in the same region, not on the exact same millimetre. For tracking progress this is the right measure: hair growth changes whole areas, not single millimetres. The overview photo is repeated about every two months, the micro-camera images about every six months.
What the images show

What does a scalp analysis show – and what not?

Each magnification answers a different question. That is why your hair growth specialist works with three settings and an overview photo.

ImageWhat becomes visible
Overview photo with a phoneContours, parting, hairline and the overall hair quality
50xDistribution of the hair, condition of the scalp surface, flakes and redness
200xWhere hairs emerge and follicle openings, thickness of individual hairs, clear or blocked openings
UV lightSebum and deposits that are hardly visible in normal light
What a scalp analysis does not do: It does not make a diagnosis, does not assess diseases and does not name a medical cause of hair loss. It shows the visible condition of scalp and hair and makes changes comparable over months. The rule: nothing is said that the image does not support.
The cost

What the scalp analysis costs

The scalp analysis is a service of your partner salon. The salon sets the price, because location, duration and scope differ. YELASAI does not set prices. The price is known in advance, with no hidden costs, and the analysis is often part of the first consultation. Follow-up appointments are usually shorter and cheaper, because only the progress is compared.

The analysis is a cosmetic service, not a medical examination; health insurance does not cover it. You receive your personal offer directly from the salon via the specialist finder.

Scalp analysis with a specialist, at home or at the dermatologist?

Three routes lead to a closer look at the scalp. They answer different questions and are not mutually exclusive.

Many clients already come with a medical history. Scalp care runs independently and alongside it.

Frequently asked questions about scalp analysis

What does a scalp analysis show?

It shows the visible condition of scalp and hairline: how the hairs emerge from the scalp, how strong they are, how densely they grow in a region, whether the follicle openings are clear and how sebum and deposits are distributed. For this, images are taken at 50x and 200x magnification and under UV light.

What is a scalp analysis?

In a scalp analysis, your YELASAI hair growth specialist looks at the scalp with a special camera at 50x to 200x magnification. Things become visible that the naked eye misses: the condition of the hair roots, sebum and deposits, the density of the hair. This results in a care recommendation that truly suits your scalp.

How does a scalp analysis work?

You visit a YELASAI partner salon near you. The specialist takes images of several zones of your scalp with the camera, discusses them with you directly and documents the starting condition. At follow-up appointments, comparing the images shows how scalp and hair develop with care – changes become visible instead of just felt.

Can a scalp analysis determine the cause of hair loss?

No. A scalp analysis is a cosmetic assessment. It shows the condition of scalp and hair and makes changes visible over months. Clarifying causes is a matter for the doctor. The specialist accompanies, the doctor diagnoses.

What is the difference between a scalp analysis and a hair analysis?

A scalp analysis looks at the scalp and where the hairs emerge, using a micro-camera. A hair analysis examines the hair itself, for example its structure or, in a laboratory, its constituents. Which systems exist for both is explained on the page Scalp analysis and hair analysis – which systems are there?

Can I do a scalp analysis at home?

A first look, yes: with a phone photo or a simple micro-camera. For progress that can be compared over months, however, you need fixed regions, the same magnification and the same light. That is what the analysis with a hair growth specialist provides. In the shop you can also upload a photo of your scalp in the AI chat and ask which care might suit you.

Scalp analysis at the hairdresser or at the dermatologist – which is better?

Both have their place. The hair growth specialist makes the condition of the scalp visible, plans the care and accompanies the progress. The dermatologist clarifies causes and treats diseases. Many clients use both side by side.

What does a scalp analysis cost?

Each partner salon sets its own price, as location and scope of service vary – the analysis is often part of the first consultation. Simply ask the hair growth specialist near you; they will be happy to prepare a personal offer for you.

Where can I find a scalp analysis near me?

Over 285 listed YELASAI hair growth specialists in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and other countries offer the scalp analysis. With the specialist finder on yelasai.com you can find the nearest salon – many people searching come from cities such as Hamburg, Munich, Cologne or Zurich, and the network keeps growing.

How often does a scalp analysis make sense?

At the start to establish where you stand – and then regularly to track progress, for example alongside the 12-week course. Because hair grows slowly, only comparing images over weeks and months makes progress objectively visible.

When can you see a change in the comparison?

Hair grows about one centimetre a month. A comparison of the micro-camera images is therefore meaningful after about six months; the overview photo with a phone is repeated about every two months.

Do I need to prepare for the appointment?

Come with unwashed hair or hair washed the day before and without styling products, so your scalp shows its everyday condition. Bring what you use at home and, if possible, an older photo of your parting or hairline.

Does the scalp analysis hurt?

No. The micro-camera is only placed lightly on the scalp. Nothing is marked, nothing is removed and nothing is shaved.

Do I have to buy products after the analysis?

No. The care plan is a recommendation. You decide what you put into practice.

Does health insurance cover the cost?

No. The scalp analysis is a cosmetic service and not a medical examination. It is not covered by health insurance.

  • Scalp analysis – identifying causes of hair loss

    A scalp analysis allows us to discover the ideal care for your scalp and hair. The scalp analysis from YELASAI informs you about the current status of your hair roots and how the hair growth phase is currently progressing. The first step to tackling a problem is always recognizing how it arises. A scalp analysis not only tells us the general condition of your scalp, but also the number of dead hairs and the consistency of the oil on your scalp. These are important factors that influence hair growth.

    Scalp analysis – we examine your scalp for a professional analysis

    A professional scalp analysis goes far beyond how a hairdresser can assess your hair and scalp, as your scalp is examined using a camera that provides 50x to 200x magnification. The scalp analysis with the YELASAI scalp camera also enables us to assess the hair density of newly growing hair and to check whether every pore is covered with a hair. With a professional tool like scalp analysis, which is evaluated by specialists, you open up completely new possibilities for addressing the needs of your hair and scalp. Because it is like so often: If you can find the source of the problem, it is much easier to find effective care solutions. Because every person is highly individual, not only in terms of their characteristics and facets, but also in terms of their hair.

We will also accompany you beyond this and find a suitable solution for your individual needs and the demands of your scalp. As you progress, our hair care products, which consist of natural ingredients, can be valuable companions to support natural hair growth and care for the scalp.

    Is hair loss normal?

    In principle, it is completely normal for a person to lose hair. However, it depends on the number of hairs you lose every day. A hair and scalp analysis gives you the opportunity to find out whether the amount of hair lost in your case is "normal" - or whether it is worth working against it.

    A scalp analysis for hair loss is an effective way to analyze exactly what the problem is. We know: Hair loss can be very stressful and have a massive impact on everyday life. After all, hair is a key part of your appearance and your first impression. They are a kind of frame for the face and, through hairstyles etc., part of the respective individuality and character is reflected in them.

    Do you notice that when you comb your hair, more and more hair remains in the brush? Do you notice thin spots on your scalp? With a scalp analysis, we can help you find out where the possible origin of hair loss lies and what remedies you can use to support natural, healthy hair growth.

    The quicker you act, the sooner you can find out what the right and important steps are to stop hair loss. Through the scalp microscope we use and the evaluation of our hair growth specialists, it is possible to find the optimal care for your scalp and reduce the factors that inhibit healthy hair growth.

  • Scalp analysis: costs and other important information

    The costs of a scalp analysis cannot be fixed across the board because: As a customer, you are individual to us. Everyone brings their own symptoms and concerns to the hair analysis. At YELASAI we would like to offer you an opportunity to find the cause of hair loss with scalp analysis. If you have exhausted many options so far, we can be a new, professional point of contact for you. The professional scalp analysis of our hair growth specialists uses a microscope to assess the scalp as well as the general condition of hair roots, scalp pores and more. While other providers have little time available for their customers, at YELASAI you are the focus right from the start. After the analysis, we discuss what care can support your natural hair growth and see what your scalp needs.

    We do it differently because we understand what a fundamental issue hair growth is for many people. Whether as a result of a dermatological disease, pregnancy, stress, hereditary factors or due to chemotherapy . Hair loss and the psychological consequences of it are omnipresent. YELASAI is committed to not only providing you with the best hair care products that completely avoid synthetic fragrances, colors, flavors and preservatives, but we want to accompany you through every emotional step.

    Care that you can carry out at home before the scalp analysis:

    • If you want to dry your hair after washing your hair, avoid “scrubbing it dry” as this will damage the hair structure as hair is very fragile, especially when wet. Instead, gently squeeze out the water with a towel. This is a gentle way to dry your hair.
    • If your hair is still wet after washing and you comb it, you should proceed very gently so as not to unintentionally pull out additional hair.

    If you prefer to wash your hair in the evening, you should also dry it well. Unfortunately, due to the fact that we move around a lot at night, damp hair breaks off more quickly.

    Put your hair in our hands - we will find the right care for a healthy scalp

    Hair is an important element for our well-being. That's why you shouldn't leave your health and vitality to chance. In contrast to a conventional scalp analysis at the hairdresser using the eyes, our experts offer you a hair-precise analysis using a microscope. In addition to the scalp analysis, at YELASAI you benefit from our versatile care series , which are tailored precisely to the needs of your scalp and hair.
