What ADVIHAIR S.p.A. does

ADVIHAIR S.p.A. (legally AdviHair S.r.l., operating globally as CRLAB) is an Italian trichology and hair care company headquartered in Zola Predosa (Bologna). Founded in 1970 as Cesare Ragazzi Laboratories and rebranded to CRLAB in 2024, the company specializes in non-invasive solutions for hair loss, baldness (calvizie), and scalp disorders, serving men, women, and pediatric patients across more than 26 countries. Its core product is the proprietary Sistema di Infoltimento CRLAB, a non-invasive hair thickening system described as unique worldwide, which provides a personalized, semi-permanent alternative to surgical or pharmacological interventions for baldness. Complementary product offerings include the CRLAB® trichological product lines, clinically tested formulations addressing scalp and hair anomalies, combined with technologically advanced machinery and instrumented work protocols.

The business operates a dual-channel commercial model. The primary channel is a network of trichology centers — over 30 in Italy and over 120 internationally across 26 countries — where trained specialists deliver the hair thickening system and personalized treatment protocols. The secondary channel is the CRLAB E-Shop, an e-commerce storefront for trichological product lines sold directly to consumers. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases or licensed applications of the hair thickening system and product line sales, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company distributes domestically through owned centers and internationally through affiliated/reseller partnerships, and actively builds clinical credibility through participation in medical-scientific conferences worldwide. The company is privately held, with no disclosed external investor or institutional ownership, and no M&A or major funding activity reported in the available data.
