Does the preview reflect realistic graft yield, or does it oversell density?

It's calibrated to the density a given graft count and donor supply can realistically produce — not a full, youthful head of hair regardless of Norwood stage. A patient with limited donor availability at Norwood 6 sees a result consistent with what surgery can actually deliver, which sets expectations the surgeon won't have to walk back post-op.

Can it show different hairline designs — a conservative mature hairline versus a lower, more youthful one?

Yes. Hairline shape and temple point placement are the two decisions patients agonize over most. Generating a couple of design variations side by side turns an abstract discussion about hairline geometry into a decision the patient can actually see and approve.

Does it work for diffuse thinning, or only receding hairlines and crown loss?

It handles diffuse thinning, crown coverage, and frontal hairline recession. Diffuse thinning patients are often the hardest to consult because there's no single "before" photo angle that captures the problem — a density-focused preview from an overhead or flash-lit photo makes the improvement visible in a way a standard photo doesn't.

Can I use it to show scalp micropigmentation results instead of, or alongside, a transplant?

Yes. SMP and transplant produce visually different outcomes — SMP simulates density through pigment, a transplant grows real follicles — and showing both previews side by side is one of the more effective ways to help a patient self-select the right procedure instead of booking the wrong one and requesting a refund later.

Does it account for hair caliber and color contrast with the scalp, not just hairline shape?

Yes. A patient with fine, light-colored hair on a light scalp reads as fuller at a lower density than someone with coarse, dark hair on a light scalp — that contrast ratio is one of the biggest drivers of perceived coverage after surgery, and the preview reflects it rather than applying a generic density overlay.

How does this compare to the generic hair-loss apps patients already use at home?

Consumer apps run a generic filter that adds hair without any relationship to graft count, donor supply, or the patient's actual loss pattern — which is exactly why patients don't trust them. This runs on the photo you capture in your consultation room, reflects your surgeon's actual hairline design and graft plan, and carries your clinic's name into the result, not a stock app's.

Are patient scalp photos retained after the consultation?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your clinic needs and make sure it meets HIPAA or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

What is a hair restoration preview?

A hair restoration preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of what a patient's scalp will look like after hair transplant surgery or a non-surgical treatment plan. The clinic captures baseline photos of the patient's hairline, crown, and donor area, and the tool produces a projected result reflecting the planned graft count, hairline design, and density — rendered on the patient's own hair color, caliber, and scalp tone. Hair restoration clinics use this during consultations to move patients from "still deciding" to a scheduled surgery date.

Why it matters

A full FUE session typically runs $4,000 to $15,000+ depending on graft count, and most patients research for months — sometimes years — before their first consultation. That delay isn't indecision about wanting more hair; it's that the "hair plug" era of transplants left a real trust deficit, and patients can't tell a natural-looking outcome from a doll's-hair one until they see it on an actual head. A preview built from the patient's own scalp, hairline shape, and hair caliber closes that gap in a single consultation instead of a third opinion six months later.

Who uses this

Hair transplant surgeons and dermatologists use it to walk a patient through hairline design options in the same visit as the surgical consult. Patient care coordinators — the staff who actually run most consultations and carry the booking quota — use it as their primary closing tool before handing off to the surgeon for final sign-off. Trichologists and hair loss clinics offering PRP, low-level laser therapy, or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) use it to show non-surgical patients a realistic ceiling on what those treatments can achieve, which also helps route surgical candidates to the right service instead of a treatment that won't meet their expectations.

Heard this from a patient?

"Will my hairline look natural, or like the pluggy, doll-hair look my uncle got in the '90s?" — and every clinical before-and-after you show is someone else's hair texture, someone else's Norwood stage.

They can't picture what 3,000 grafts actually looks like as density on their own scalp, so they say they need to "think about it" and disappear into hair-loss forums for another six months.

They book three consultations at three clinics, compare stock before-and-after galleries that don't resemble their hair color or loss pattern, and pick whichever surgeon happened to have a photo that looked closest to them.

How hair restoration previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Capture the hairline and donor area

Frontal, temporal, and overhead photos of the thinning zone and donor strip — the same angles you'd already take for a surgical consult, no extra imaging equipment needed.

AI generates the density and hairline preview

The model factors in planned graft count, hair caliber, curl pattern, and scalp-to-hair color contrast to render a realistic post-growth result, not an exaggerated "full head" fantasy.

Present it during the consultation

Their own scalp, their own hairline design, side by side. The conversation moves from "will this look fake" to scheduling a surgery date before they leave the room.
