During summer, increased exposure to strong sunlight, UV rays, high temperatures, and humidity leads more customers to pay attention to scalp and hair care. As a result, there is also growing demand for solutions that allow customers to directly examine scalp oiliness and dead skin cells, as well as hair dryness and damage, and select suitable care products.

This is one of the reasons why an increasing number of pharmacies, cosmetics stores, and scalp care clinics are showing interest in the SIF Pro scalp and hair analyzer.

SIF Pro is a portable scalp and hair analyzer that captures scalp and hair images using different light sources and supports customer consultations based on the captured images. Its handheld design makes it convenient to use in stores and consultation rooms.

Magnified and Wide-Area Imaging with One Device

One of the main features of SIF Pro is that it combines two different imaging methods in a single device.

One side is equipped with a camera capable of magnifying the scalp and hair from approximately 50× to 300×. It can be used to closely examine details such as hair thickness, the area around hair follicles, dead skin cells, and the scalp surface.

The other side features a non-contact camera for capturing wider areas, including the scalp and hairline. Therefore, both close-up and wide-area images can be captured and managed with one device without requiring a separate camera.

From magnified scalp imaging to checking the overall pattern of hair-loss areas, SIF Pro provides an all-in-one scalp and hair analysis system.

▲ Images required for analyzing the scalp, hair thickness, hair density, and hair-loss type can be captured in a guided sequence.

Scalp and Hair Observation Using Four Light Sources

Different characteristics of the scalp and hair can be highlighted depending on the light source used.

SIF Pro captures scalp and hair images using four light sources: normal light, parallel-polarized light, cross-polarized light, and UV light. These images allow consultants to examine the scalp surface and hair condition from different perspectives.

In Observation Mode, the required light source and magnification can be selected to examine the customer’s scalp and hair immediately. This makes the mode suitable for quick scalp checks and before-and-after care consultations.

Analysis Mode with a Simple Questionnaire and Guided Imaging

SIF Pro’s Analysis Mode goes beyond simply capturing images.

Before imaging, the customer completes a short questionnaire regarding their current scalp and hair condition. The questionnaire consists of 10 questions for men and 11 questions for women, helping consultants assess the customer’s condition more systematically.

▲ A short questionnaire is completed before the analysis to assess the customer’s scalp and hair condition.

Once the questionnaire has been completed, images are captured in the designated sequence. SIF Pro’s AI analysis function then measures factors such as hair density and hair thickness within the selected area. Consultants can use both the measurements and captured images to explain the customer’s scalp and hair condition in an easy-to-understand manner.

▲ AI measures hair thickness, hair density, hair count, and hair root count from the captured image.

Easy-to-Understand Analysis Results

It can be difficult for customers to accurately understand their scalp and hair condition through verbal explanations alone.

SIF Pro displays captured images together with consultation information such as scalp type, hair type, hair thickness, hair density, and hair-loss type on a single screen. Customers can view their own scalp and hair while receiving an explanation, while consultants can provide more detailed guidance using visual information.

▲ Scalp and hair images and key analysis results can be reviewed on a single screen.

SIF Pro’s results are not intended to replace a medical diagnosis. They can be used as reference information to support customer consultations and the planning of scalp and hair care based on captured images and measurements.

Continuous Tracking of Before-and-After Changes

For scalp and hair care, it is important to compare changes over time rather than relying on a single imaging result.

When customers are photographed with a standard camera, images may become scattered across different folders, making it difficult to organize them by customer, date, and imaging area. SIF Pro stores captured images and analysis results under each customer’s information, allowing previous visit records to be reviewed easily.

▲ Customer images can be systematically managed by date and imaging category.

This feature allows consultants to compare images taken before and after the use of scalp care programs or hair care products and visually demonstrate changes to customers. It can also support regular consultations and long-term customer management.

Product Recommendations Based on Analysis Results

Customers often ask pharmacies and cosmetics stores which scalp and hair products they should choose. However, recommendations based only on symptoms described by the customer may appear subjective.

With SIF Pro, consultants can recommend suitable care products by referring to captured images and analyzed scalp and hair types.

Products sold by the store can be registered in the program under various categories, including dry, normal, and oily scalp and hair conditions, dandruff care, sensitive scalp care, fine hair, hair root strengthening, and hair-loss care.

▲ Scalp and hair care products sold by the store can be registered by type.

Registered products can be presented to customers in connection with their analysis results. This allows businesses to move beyond simply displaying and selling products and establish a consultation-based sales environment in which customers can view their scalp and hair condition and receive product guidance based on their care goals.

From Observation and Analysis to Customer Management and Product Recommendations

SIF Pro is more than a simple imaging device that magnifies the scalp and hair.

It combines observation using four light sources, magnified and non-contact imaging, AI-based hair measurement, customer history management, and product recommendations based on analysis results in a single system.

It gives customers an opportunity to view their own scalp and hair condition while helping stores establish a more professional and systematic consultation environment.
