What TrichoLAB does

TrichoLAB develops AI-powered trichoscopy and 3D hair transplant planning software and medical-grade hardware for the hair restoration industry. Founded in 2014 by Michał Kasprzak (PhD Physics, Warsaw University; former researcher at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron), the company is incorporated as TrichoLAB sp. z o.o. in Warsaw, Poland, with a secondary German entity, TrichoLAB GmbH. The product stack is modular: TrichoLAB Space is the AI-driven diagnostic platform that connects trichoscopy cameras, image analysis, and reporting; the 3D Transplanner is the surgical planning module built on top, providing graft calculation, donor capacity assessment, hairline design, Norwood progression projections, and consultation visualization. Hardware includes the leviacam medical-grade trichoscopy camera and two workstation configurations (3D Studio with rotating Canon arm and adjustable table; 3D Lite for portable, multi-location use). Entry-level diagnostic imaging is sold as Trichoscopy Starter.

Underlying the platform are proprietary AI technologies: Virtual Tattoo™ (patent pending) ensures the same scalp spot is used across follow-up visits using AI-based follicular pattern recognition; H2H Matching performs hair-by-hair comparison of baseline and follow-up images; F-Mapping recovers hair not visible in the primary image from subsequent images, achieving claimed >99% terminal hair detection efficiency. TrichoLAB claims 98% accuracy in treatment planning, all supported by >1 million trichoscopy images processed across 1,000+ clinics and 100+ research/clinical projects. The platform also includes usage-based Second Opinion Services and Research & Clinical Trial Services for physician and industry-sponsored studies.

Revenue is generated through one-time / perpetual software licenses, hardware sales (medical-grade leviacam, Canon-integrated workstations), and professional services (onsite training, photographer certification, second opinions billed in credits, clinical trial project management). Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, with installment payment options available on 3D Studio. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (demo booking via Calendly, onboarding training) targeting hair transplant clinics, dermatologists, and multi-location clinic groups, supplemented by a selective authorized distribution network with 3 partners covering Asia, South America, and Southeast Asia. Named customers include Sule Clinic (Turkey), Feriduni Clinic (Belgium), Bauman Medical (USA), Hair By Dr. Max (USA), and Clínica KBO Capilar (Spain). In 2025, the 3D Transplanner was recognized as the Hair Transplant Innovation Winner by the Hair Restoration Congress.

Direct peers

• FotoFinder Systems: FotoFinder is a direct competitor in medical-grade trichoscopy and dermoscopy imaging with AI-driven skin and hair analysis workflows sold to dermatologists and aesthetic clinics worldwide. Their FotoFinder Trichoscale and bodystudio platforms overlap directly with TrichoLAB Space and leviacam for clinical hair/scalp diagnostics.
• Canfield Scientific: Canfield Scientific provides VECTRA 3D imaging and VISIA facial analysis systems used by plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and hair transplant clinics for consultation, simulation, and procedure planning. Their 3D aesthetic imaging workflow competes head-to-head with TrichoLAB's 3D Transplanner in hair restoration consults.
• QuantifiCare: QuantifiCare develops 3D LifeViz medical photography systems for dermatology, aesthetics, and plastic surgery consultations, including hair restoration practices. Their portable and clinical 3D imaging systems compete directly with TrichoLAB 3D Lite and 3D Studio in the clinic consultation workflow.
• 3dMD: 3dMD specializes in high-precision 3D surface imaging for medical and aesthetic applications including craniofacial and reconstructive surgery planning. Their 3D temporal-surface imaging systems compete with TrichoLAB's 3D Studio for transplant planning and patient consultation use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Venus Concept: Venus Concept (which absorbed Restoration Robotics/ARTAS) sells aesthetic medical devices including robotic hair restoration systems. They are a broader incumbent in the hair restoration technology stack, offering adjacent tools that clinics may use alongside or instead of TrichoLAB for procedural planning.
• Crisalix: Crisalix provides 3D simulation and visualization SaaS for plastic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners. While focused more on breast and facial aesthetic consultations, their 3D simulation platform represents a broader incumbent that could move into hair transplant consultation planning.
• Cynosure (Hologic): Cynosure, part of Hologic, is a large aesthetic medical device manufacturer offering laser, light-based, and energy-based systems used in dermatology and hair restoration clinics. They represent a broad incumbent that could leverage its distribution and installed base to enter AI-driven hair consultation.

Regional players

• Pollogen: Pollogen develops professional aesthetic medical devices used by dermatologists and clinics. Their distribution into aesthetic and dermatology clinics partially overlaps TrichoLAB's customer base, though they are stronger in skin rejuvenation than in hair-specific workflows.

Others

• Clario: Clario (formed by the merger of ERT and Bioclinica) provides clinical trial technology including medical imaging endpoints for dermatology and aesthetics studies. They overlap with TrichoLAB's Research & Clinical Trial Services offering for hair research sponsors.

Emerging players

• Emage Medical: Emage Medical develops 3D body surface imaging systems with applications in aesthetic and plastic surgery consultations. They are an emerging player with overlapping 3D consultation technology for hair restoration clinics evaluating TrichoLAB 3D Studio/Lite alternatives.
