MiraSkinLab or a trichoscopy exam?

Trichoscopy is a magnified look at your scalp and hair shafts by a trichologist or dermatologist, often with measurements. MiraSkinLab reads ordinary photos, including one of the top of your head, and describes what is visible. It can't magnify, measure or diagnose, and it costs less.

€49 vs €80. MiraSkinLab costs less, but it is not a substitute for the exam if you need to know why your hair is changing.

Method
MiraSkinLab:Photos from your phone, including the crown, read by an AI. No magnification.
Trichologist exam with trichoscopy:A specialist examines your scalp in person with a magnifying camera (trichoscope).
What it can tell
MiraSkinLab:Visible density at the crown and temples, part line, scalp care and lengths, in bands such as “good”, “fair” or “worth attention”. No hair counts or measurements.
Trichologist exam with trichoscopy:Hair shaft and follicle detail at magnification; can measure and document.
Diagnosis
MiraSkinLab:No. It never says why hair is thinning or names a condition.
Trichologist exam with trichoscopy:Yes, a doctor can diagnose the cause of hair loss.
Treatment
MiraSkinLab:Hair and scalp care steps; for thinning, the plan points you to a pharmacist or doctor.
Trichologist exam with trichoscopy:A doctor can prescribe and plan treatment.
What you take home
MiraSkinLab:A written report: care score, face map, 29 visible attributes in bands, a morning and evening routine, a week-1 shopping list and a 3-phase plan with costs and the published studies behind each step.
Trichologist exam with trichoscopy:The specialist's findings and recommendations.
Following up
MiraSkinLab:Re-scans to compare your progress are currently included (up to three a week).
Trichologist exam with trichoscopy:A repeat exam is booked and paid again.

Book the exam, not an app, when

  • hair is coming out suddenly, in patches or in large amounts
  • your scalp is itchy, painful, scaly or inflamed
  • thinning started after an illness, a new medicine or a big life change
  • you want to know the cause, or are considering medicine

MiraSkinLab fits when

  • you want a hair and scalp care routine without a medical concern
  • you want comparable photos of your crown and temples every few months
  • you want skin and hair covered in one written plan

Using both

A scan before and after the exam gives you comparable photos of the crown and temples over time, which is hard to get on your own. The specialist's advice comes first.
