The short answer
- Where it happens: During the in-person MOHR Hair Assessment ($299, credited) at 910 Park Avenue.
- What it measures: Metrics such as hair density, shaft thickness, and terminal-to-vellus ratio, alongside clinical photos.
- Why it matters: Supports candidacy decisions and later comparison; does not by itself diagnose every cause of hair loss.

What is HairMetrix?
HairMetrix is an AI-assisted scalp imaging system used in clinic to capture standardized views and objective measurements of hair and scalp characteristics.
At MOHR, it is part of the paid assessment, not a substitute for clinical judgment. A licensed provider reviews history, examines the scalp, and interprets imaging in context under the medical oversight of Dr. Alexander Golberg.
What gets measured
- Density: how many hairs occupy a defined area.
- Shaft thickness / caliber: helpful when people report “finer” hair before obvious bald spots.
- Terminal-to-vellus ratio: a window into miniaturization patterns common in androgenetic alopecia.
Exact outputs can vary by device protocol and mapping. The point is a repeatable baseline, not a single magic score.
Why measurement before treatment
MOHR’s philosophy is measure first, then treat. Without a baseline, it is hard to know whether a program is helping or whether expectations were unrealistic. Imaging also helps explain when non-surgical care is unlikely to meet a coverage goal, and when a transplant conversation may be more honest. See non-surgical vs transplant.

Frequently asked questions
Is HairMetrix painful?
No. Imaging at the assessment involves no needles and no downtime.
Does imaging guarantee I will be a candidate?
No. Candidacy depends on follicles, diagnosis, health history, and goals, not a single image score.
