What is HairArchitect AI?
HairArchitect AI is a planning app for hair transplant consults. It maps facial landmarks, previews hairline density on your photo, and estimates graft ranges. Surgeons still make the surgical decisions.
How accurate is the Golden Ratio analysis?
It finds facial landmarks and suggests where a hairline might start. That is a starting sketch. Your surgeon still adjusts for age, hair type, and how much donor hair you have.

What models drive the hair simulation?
Most of the preview runs on your phone. Cloud previews are optional. Treat every preview as a planning sketch, not a photo of your future result.
Does the app calculate graft counts?
It multiplies area by target density, then caps the number against a safe donor yield. Bring those numbers to clinic—your surgeon owns the final count.

Is HairArchitect AI a medical device?
No. It helps with planning and pictures. It does not diagnose hair loss or replace an exam.
How is my photo data handled?
Photos are used for the features you turn on. Retention and rights are in the Privacy Policy: https://www.hairarchitect.app/en/privacy.
Can I simulate my hairline before surgery?
Yes. You can draw a hairline on your photo and preview density for the consult. It is a discussion tool—not a guarantee.

How many grafts do I need for a hair transplant?
It depends on how large the thin area is, target density, hair thickness, and donor supply. Run a calculator, then confirm in person.

What is the Norwood scale in hair transplant planning?
Norwood stages male pattern loss from I to VII. Clinics use it to talk about how much scalp needs coverage.
