Scalp Analysis
A scalp analysis is a clinical assessment used to evaluate the health of the scalp and hair follicles. It forms an important part of understanding hair loss patterns, scalp conditions, and suitability for both surgical and non‑surgical hair restoration treatments.
At Dr Graft Hair Transplant, scalp analysis is performed as part of a medically guided consultation, helping inform appropriate treatment planning based on individual findings.

What Is a Scalp Analysis?
A scalp analysis involves a detailed examination of the scalp and hair using visual assessment and clinical tools where appropriate. The aim is to identify factors that may be contributing to hair thinning, shedding, or scalp concerns.
The analysis assists in understanding hair density, follicle condition, scalp health, and hair loss distribution. It does not provide a diagnosis on its own but contributes to an overall medical assessment.
