Elithair Pre-Test System: Personalised Planning for Perfect Results and Your Health
The Elithair Pre-Test System is a comprehensive process consisting of six detailed analyses carried out before your hair transplant. These evaluations enable our medical team to design a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your hair type and scalp condition, ensuring the best possible results.
But it’s not just about achieving aesthetic success—your health is our top priority. Through multiple tests, we assess your overall wellbeing to ensure your procedure is both safe and effective. With the Elithair Pre-Test System, you can feel confident in achieving natural, long-lasting results while prioritising your safety.
The entire pre-test system takes place in a specially-equipped area with several examination rooms – each step is carried out in a structured and efficient manner in its own room.
The examinations are carried out by a specialised physician and medical team, who are exclusively responsible for the pre-test analysis.

6 Essential Examinations for Outstanding Results
1. Electrocardiography (ECG)
Electrocardiography is a vital step in assessing your overall health. By measuring the electrical activity of your heart, the resulting ECG offers crucial insights into your cardiovascular health.
2. Comprehensive Blood Test: Prioritising Your Health and Safety
Your journey begins with a thorough blood test to screen for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis, and more. This essential health check not only ensures your safety but also protects other patients and our medical team, providing peace of mind for everyone involved in your treatment.
3. Blood Test Analysis: Uncovering the Causes of Your Hair Loss
The second blood test delves into potential causes of your hair loss by examining key indicators such as vitamins B12 and D, iron, thyroid hormones, calcium, and hormone levels (testosterone for men, oestrogen/prolactin for women). These results provide essential insights not just into your hair health, but also into your overall well-being, ensuring a holistic approach to your treatment. In rare cases – approximately 1% of patients – the analysis reveals that hormonal or medical causes are the primary cause. In these cases, we recommend treating these causes first rather than directly performing a hair transplant.
4. TrichoLAB Hair Analysis
The TrichoLAB scanner offers a groundbreaking analysis of your scalp health. Using an automated system, it captures multiple high-resolution images from different angles and intelligently analyses them. This detailed scan evaluates key factors such as hair root thickness and multi-graft rates across four regions of your scalp—providing unparalleled accuracy and insights to tailor your treatment for optimal results. Furthermore, we determine exactly how many single, double, or triple grafts are available – a crucial basis for a natural hairline and even density.
5. Ultrasound Scalp Examination
Using advanced ultrasound technology, we measure your scalp thickness to determine the ideal depth for your hair transplant. Depending on the skin layer, the survival rate of the transplanted grafts can vary greatly. If the implantation is too shallow, the graft success rate is only approximately 60%; at the ideal depth, however, it is over 95%. By analysing six key reference points, we ensure grafts are placed with precision for maximum effectiveness. This meticulous approach guarantees exceptional results tailored to your unique needs, setting the foundation for a flawless hair restoration journey.
6. Doppler Ultrasound: Scalp Blood Flow Analysis
We use advanced Doppler ultrasound technology to measure the blood flow in the primary arteries of your scalp, providing essential insights into circulation health. The combination of blood flow analysis and skin thickness measurement allows us to precisely predict the ideal depth at which the grafts should ideally be implanted. This not only minimises risk but also maximises the graft success rate. This cutting-edge analysis allows us to tailor your treatment with precision, ensuring your scalp is perfectly prepared for the best possible hair transplant results.
