Feature

Follicle density measurement

Limitations of current systems

  • The measured surface is often too small and not sufficiently precise.
  • Follicular units on the periphery of the area create ambiguity about whether to count them.

How Hairmes overcomes this

  • Trace a broad irregular zone, passing precisely at an equal distance between follicles.
  • After cutting hair to 1 mm (not completely shaved), obtain a very precise image of the donor area.
1

Trace the contour of the zone

Draw an irregular boundary around the measurement area, keeping an equal distance between peripheral follicles.

2

Display the counter toolbox and diagnostic frame

Open the counting toolbox and the follicle diagnostic panel to start your analysis.

3

Identify follicles one by one

Mark each follicular unit individually. The software calculates FU density, hair density, and composition automatically.

Feature

Transplant area measurement

Hairmes allows you to measure the surface of transplant areas. Once you have drawn the contour of each area, you can assign a graft density and precisely determine how many grafts are needed for surgery.

1

Trace the contour of each area

Draw precise polygonal contours around each transplant zone directly on the patient image.

2

Apply a graft density to each area

Assign the desired graft density per cm² to each defined zone. The software computes the total graft count.

3

Export measurements to Excel

Generate a complete summary report with surface measurements and graft counts, ready for export to a spreadsheet.

Feature

Micro camera integration

If you are equipped with a micro camera such as Proscope or Folliscope, you can use its images directly in Hairmes. Simply calibrate once using a millimetre-graduated ruler and save your settings for future sessions.

1

Calibrate with a ruler

Place a millimetre-graduated ruler in the field of view and use it to set the scale calibration in Hairmes.

2

Save and reuse your calibration

Once saved, your calibration profile can be applied to any subsequent image from the same camera and zoom setting.

ISHRS 2008 — Poster presentation

Doctor Jean Devroye had the original idea to transform the GeoTool software in order to adapt it to the field of hair transplantation.

GeoTool was initially created to measure surface areas on images such as aerial photographs or scanned maps.

The very first version of Hairmes was presented in Montreal in 2008, by Doctor Jean Devroye during the ISHRS 16th Annual Meeting.

Books

Hair Transplantation — Fifth edition

by Walter Unger, Ronald Shapiro, Mark A. Unger, and Robin Unger

Hairmes is presented in chapter 4C:

  • Measurement of hair density and follicular unit density in the donor area
  • Measurement of the strip surface to determine the number of grafts collected
  • Measurement of the area to be grafted
  • Precise measurement of incision density and calculation of hair densities placed per unit of area

What surgeons say

Jean Devroye recently asked Alexandre Duvallet to create a software program to measure the scalp surface area. The software is useful for measuring both the donor area and the recipient area. One can also plot the follicular density in a given area using the software.

Prohairclinic has been using the Hairmes software since 2011. This gives us the ability to make very precise 3D-based surface calculations, crucial for our planning. We use the software on a daily basis and it is also helpful for storing information in digital form. Our 5-star recommendation goes to Hairmes.

In 2008, I asked Alexandre Duvallet to modify his software GeoTool in order to adapt it to the specific practice of hair transplantation. I then presented a poster that summarized all the possibilities of this software. A new software called Hairmes was born. I also wrote a chapter on this subject in the book "Hair Transplantation" by Dr W. Unger and R. Shapiro. I use it to measure surfaces with extreme precision. This software is useful both in daily practice and in case analysis after surgery. Very easy to use, it can precisely measure values that are often estimated, such as the surface covered, the density of the donor area, or the density of grafts placed. Highly recommended for any hair transplant surgery office!
