The Elithair Pre-Test System: The Key to Your Perfect Hair Transplant

The Elithair Pre-Test System combines the most advanced technology with medical expertise across six precise analyses. Its goal: to plan your hair transplant individually and deliver the best possible results. Based on these analyses, our experienced doctors design a treatment plan tailored exactly to your needs.

With precise data on your hair structure and scalp, we adjust every step of treatment with surgical accuracy. Beyond an aesthetically convincing outcome, your health always comes first — supported by comprehensive testing that guarantees the highest level of safety.

The entire Pre-Test System takes place in a dedicated area with multiple examination rooms — each step is carried out in its own room in a structured, efficient flow.

The examinations are performed by a specialized physician and her medical team, whose sole responsibility is the Pre-Test analysis.

6 Important Examinations for Outstanding Results

1. Electrocardiography: Your Heart Health in Focus

In electrocardiography, we measure the electrical activity of your heart. The resulting electrocardiogram (ECG) gives us valuable insight into your overall health and confirms that you are well prepared for your hair transplant.

2. Blood Test: Insight into Your Overall Health

In the first blood test, we screen your blood for a range of infectious diseases — including hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis, and other relevant conditions. This comprehensive health check ensures your treatment is performed under the safest possible conditions.

It protects not only your own health but also the safety of other patients and our medical team. Your safety is our highest priority.

3. Understanding Hair Loss: Root-Cause Analysis through Our Blood Test

In the second blood test, we analyze the possible underlying causes of your hair loss. We check, among other things, levels of vitamins B12 and D, iron, thyroid hormones, calcium, plus testosterone in men and estrogen/prolactin in women.

This detailed analysis not only sheds light on the reasons behind your hair loss — it also delivers important insights for your overall wellbeing and health. That way we make sure your treatment is built around you, holistically.

In rare cases — about 1% of patients — the analysis shows that hormonal or medical factors are the primary driver. In those cases we recommend addressing those root causes first, instead of moving directly to a hair transplant.

4. Hair Analysis: Precision with the TrichoLAB Scanner

The TrichoLAB Scanner is a leap forward in scalp diagnostics. Using a high-precision automated scanning system, multiple images of your scalp are captured from different angles and intelligently analyzed.

This innovative technology delivers a detailed analysis of your scalp — including hair-shaft thickness and multi-graft rates across four distinct regions.

We also determine exactly how many single, double, or triple grafts are available — a crucial foundation for a natural hairline and even density.

This level of precise insight is unmatched, and it forms the ideal basis for a perfectly planned hair transplant.

5. Ultrasound: Your Scalp in Detail

With our advanced ultrasound device, we measure the thickness of your scalp with precision. This analysis lets us determine the optimal depth at which your hair grafts should be placed.

Depending on the layer of skin, the survival rate of transplanted grafts can vary dramatically: implant too superficially and the graft survival rate falls to roughly 60%; place at the ideal depth and it climbs above 95%.

Using six reference points, we plan the exact graft positioning for maximum effect. That way, every step of your hair transplant is executed perfectly — for impressive, natural results that truly convince.

6. Doppler Ultrasound: Analyzing Your Blood Circulation

Our examination includes a high-precision Doppler ultrasound, with which we analyze the speed of blood flow in the main arteries of your scalp.

Combining circulation analysis with the scalp-thickness measurement allows us to predict, with surgical accuracy, the ideal graft placement depth. This minimizes risk and maximizes the survival rate.

This advanced technology gives valuable insight into your scalp’s circulation and helps us further optimize the preparation for your hair transplant. The result: the strongest possible foundation for a successful, long-lasting outcome.

Precision That Inspires: The Foundation for Your Hair Transformation

Your hair transplant deserves nothing less than perfection — and that is exactly what our Pre-Test System makes possible. With precise analyses and the most modern technology, we create the ideal foundation for tailoring your procedure to your unique hair situation.

Six carefully executed steps, combined with personalized consultation, make sure your treatment runs smoothly and delivers results that exceed your expectations.

When we walk you through your examination findings, our doctors consult with you in person. To guarantee seamless communication, professional interpreters join the conversation via TV screen — right inside the examination room.

If the examination uncovers new information — for example, a larger or smaller area to treat — the planned graft count is transparently adjusted on the spot. Every decision is made in close coordination with you.
