Why we measure first
Every plan starts with evidence
Thinning, shedding and an oily or itchy scalp can look alike in the mirror. The TricoTest® report shows what is going on with yours, so nothing in your plan is guesswork. Here is a real one from our Laguna Hills center.
See what the mirror can't
Images at 200× and 50× and under blue light show what's happening at the follicle: buildup, redness, thinning strands. We look at them together, on screen.
Numbers, not guesses
pH, sebum and hydration are measured against healthy ranges. Too oily, too dry or out of balance decides which products actually fit your scalp.
What to fix first
Tension, fragility, redness and dandruff are each scored, so your plan starts with what is holding your hair back the most.
A baseline to track progress
Today's thinning level and matching CRLAB line become the starting point every follow-up is compared against.
Your specialist turns these readings into a written plan, made for your scalp.
In-Studio
What You Walk Away With
A personalized treatment plan guided by your analysis results, combining in-clinic treatments and professional equipment selected to address your scalp's individual needs.
At home
A Routine You Can Follow
Your analysis results guide the selection of your treatments. Your specialist creates a clear, personalized routine tailored to your hair and scalp needs.
Progress checks
Then we measure again.
A follow-up TricoTest® captures images of the same areas of your scalp, allowing you to compare them side by side and track changes over time. The first and last frames are a real client's images at 50×, February and June 2022, details removed; the time-lapse between them is AI-generated. Individual results vary.

What is a hair and scalp analysis at CRLAB Laguna Hills?
It is a one-hour, one-on-one assessment of your scalp using the TricoTest microcamera at 50x and 200x magnification and under blue light, with sensor readings of oil, hydration and pH. You leave with a report of your images and numbers and a written plan for your scalp.
What happens during the analysis?
Your specialist starts with your concerns, history and routine. Then the TricoTest microcamera images your scalp at 50x and 200x and under blue light, and sensors read oil, hydration and pH. You look at every image together, on screen.
How long does it take?
About an hour, one-on-one with your specialist at our Laguna Hills center.
Does it hurt?
No. The camera and sensors rest on your scalp. Nothing is cut, pulled or injected.
What do I leave with?
Your TricoTest report, with your images and numbers, and a written plan: what to do in the center, what to use at home, and when to measure again.
Who is the analysis for?
Anyone noticing thinning, shedding, an oily or greasy scalp, flaking, itch or irritation, women and men alike. It is a professional assessment, not a relaxation treatment.
How should I prepare?
Skip washing your hair for about 48 hours before your visit, and keep oils, dry shampoo, root concealer and styling products away from your scalp that day.
Do I need to know what's causing my hair loss?
No. We assess what the images and readings show. CRLAB doesn't diagnose medical conditions, so if anything points to one, we'll suggest you see a healthcare professional.
Is CRLAB a medical clinic?
No. CRLAB Laguna Hills is a trichological center: specialists in scalp and hair health. We do not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
How much does the analysis cost?
The consultation is $140, fully credited toward any treatment program. A $40 deposit secures your appointment.
