Trichoscopy offers high-magnification imaging of the hair and scalp which has become an essential tool for dermatologists, trichologists, and plastic surgeons offering hair services. Built on 35+ years of clinical research experience, Canfield Scientific's HairMetrix® brings a smarter, more efficient approach to hair consultations.

The world's first fully automated, real-time hair analysis tool

HairMetrix eliminates the need for hair clipping entirely. Paired with Canfield's D2 digital dermatoscope or the mobile VEOS®, any user can quickly capture unclipped trichoscopy images with precision, navigating, capturing, and analyzing images from their smartphone. The software is also available on Mac®, giving practices flexibility in how they integrate hair analysis into their workflow.

AI-powered, objective insights

Traditional hair assessments are often manual, qualitative, and time-consuming. HairMetrix's AI algorithms change that, delivering instant, objective measurements including:

  • Hair count and hair width per cm²

  • Terminal-to-vellus ratio

  • Average hairs per follicular unit

  • Anagen/telogen ratio and growth rate

These non-invasive measurements help providers establish a baseline and track changes over time with far less time spent on manual evaluation.

Better consultations, faster decisions

Less time on assessment means more time for patient education and treatment planning. HairMetrix's personalized reports and side-by-side comparisons help patients visualize their progress, while Canfield's built-in Industry Brand Library supports treatment recommendations. The result: greater patient confidence and faster decision-making.

HairMetrix also integrates with EPIC® and EMA® for seamless practice management.

As demand grows for evidence-based hair restoration, HairMetrix, D2, and VEOS are helping practices move from subjective guesswork to data-driven care, delivering more informed consultations and a better patient experience.
