Hairgen

A one-sentence summary

Hairgen is an AI-based visual simulation platform designed for people suffering from hair loss and for hair clinics; it enables the creation of images showing varying degrees of hair regrowth on real photos, and it can also simulate the progression of hair loss to assist clinics in presenting their treatment options.

Tool Introduction

Founded in 2023, Hairgen is not a regular entertainment app for changing hairstyles; rather, it is a tool for hair restoration that connects consumers with services such as preview options, consultations at clinics, ways to attract customers through a website, and displays of prior treatment cases. Its current products include the Consumer Studio, an Apple mobile app, the Clinic Studio, embedded components, a hair loss simulator, a facial anonymization feature, and APIs.

Users can upload selfies or photos of patients, and the system will automatically identify the hairline and generate several options for restoration. Clinics can also incorporate simulation tools on their websites to collect information from potential clients, share personalized results pages, and pass relevant data to CRM systems or automated workflows.

Product composition

Main functions

Hair regeneration simulation

The Hair Restoration Simulator generates four different results for hair restoration based on photos; 1 point is spent per submission. The new version released in 2026 includes automatic detection of the hairline, eliminating the need for users to manually mark the areas where hair should be added.

• It can process selfies and photos of real people taken from common angles.
• Four different levels of restoration are generated at once, facilitating comparisons from more conservative changes to more significant ones.
• It is possible to adjust visual parameters such as hairstyle, hair color, and the shape of the hairline.
• The new version offers more options such as short hair, long hair, braided hairstyles, and textured hairstyles.
• The standard mode emphasizes quality, while the fast mode can typically provide a preview of a single image within 10 to 20 seconds.
• The results can be displayed side by side or shared with the patient via a private page.

Simulation of hair loss progression

Hair Loss Simulator generates nine stages of hair loss based on a patient’s photo and provides a puzzle-style layout. Submitting one image costs 2 points; it is useful for explaining possible changes in appearance during consultations and highlighting the importance of early intervention.

Clinic Studio

The Studio clinic is used for creating, viewing, and managing recovery simulations, hair loss simulations, website component cues, as well as team accounts. Organization administrators can invite members, check invitation and login statuses, and control access based on roles.

Website embedding components

The Professional and Enterprise packages allow the simulator to be integrated into a clinic’s website. Visitors can upload photos and, after verification, view the results; the clinic can obtain the visitor’s name, email address, phone number, page parameters, and a custom tracking identifier.

• It supports automatic forehead line detection and four standard results.
• It supports quick single-image mode, which is suitable for landing pages where speed of conversion is important.
• It is possible to adjust the text, color, media, buttons, and subsequent booking actions.
• It is possible to collect names, email addresses, and phone numbers and to implement two-factor authentication.
• Creation and verification events can be sent to a CRM or automation platform via Webhook.
• A custom external identifier can be provided and will be returned when exporting events and leads.
• It will record the page being displayed and its query parameters at the time the visitor starts the simulation.

Facial anonymization

Face Anonymizer uses generative AI to replace the patient’s face, while striving to preserve details such as hair, skin texture, and other effects from prior treatments. It supports consistent facial features, various expressions, and high-resolution outputs, and can be used for displaying authorized cases.

Input, output, and controls

Consumer usage guide

Preview hair restoration on web pages or mobile apps

1. Create an account using Web Studio or the Apple app, and read the rules regarding photo and facial data processing.
2. Take or select a photo with even lighting, no obstruction over the head, and a clear face.
3. Upload the photo and crop it using the interface, so that the system can identify the person and the head area.
4. Choose a hairstyle, hair color, hairline, or other available parameters.
5. Submit the simulation and wait for the system to generate multiple images showing the hair restoration results.
6. Compare the different results, but do not consider any of the images as a true representation of the postoperative outcome.
7. When the photos are no longer needed, they should be removed from the data management system; if necessary, a request to delete the account should be submitted.

How to take more appropriate photos

• Use natural, even lighting, and avoid strong backlighting or highlights from above.
• Keep the head fully in frame; do not use hats, hands, or filters to cover the hairline.
• Keep the camera at an appropriate distance from the target area to avoid facial distortion caused by a wide angle.
• The clinic must obtain explicit permission from the patient before uploading, and clarify how the images will be stored and used.
• For group photos, the image should first be cropped to focus on the desired subjects, in order to prevent the system from identifying the wrong people.
• When using it for before-and-after comparisons, try to keep the angle, lighting, and camera distance consistent.

Clinic workflow

Generate and share results during the consultation.

1. Administrators create organizational accounts, invite consultants based on their roles, and assign them appropriate permissions.
2. Obtain permission for photo processing, AI simulation, and result sharing before starting the patient consultation.
3. Take photos using a tablet or computer to ensure that the hairline and the target area are clearly visible.
4. In Studio, select to restore the simulation and adjust the hairstyle, color, and hairline according to the patient’s preferences.
5. Four sets of results are generated, and the patient is informed that each one is a schematic diagram and not a clinical prediction.
6. Share through the private results page to avoid using public social media channels to share patient photos.
7. Record the consultation findings, the patient’s preferences, and the doctor’s assessment separately; do not use images to replace medical judgments.
8. Delete unnecessary photos and results according to the package’s validity period and the organization’s policies.

Deploy website customer acquisition components

1. Choose the Professional or Enterprise plan, which includes the Web Widget.
2. Create components in Studio and obtain a dedicated token; do not reuse it on any other unauthorized websites.
3. Add the official scripts and container elements to the clinic’s website, then test the layout on both mobile and desktop devices.
4. Configure brand text, colors, sample media, verification methods, and the booking button.
5. If attribution is required, provide the internal session or ad click identifier, and specify the scope of recording.
6. Configure a secure Webhook receiver to return a success status promptly and process leads asynchronously.
7. Test branches for creation, verification, repeated access, failure, timeout, and no photo.
8. Include the collection fields, privacy notice, consent, deletion procedures, and CRM retention period in the official process.

Webhooks and lead integration

Website components send events respectively when two-factor authentication is initiated and completed on the results page. The payload can include information such as components, galleries, lead names, email addresses, phone numbers, attribution identifiers, the page where it is displayed, and account owner details.

The public component documentation mentions a timeout of around 30 seconds on the side that receives events, but it does not explain the signature verification mechanism on the same page. Before deployment, it is necessary to consult Hairgen regarding event authenticity verification, retry mechanisms, IP address ranges, and key rotation procedures.

APIs and developer capabilities

Hairgen’s public API documentation includes two endpoints: one for image rendering and another for querying image galleries. All requests require an API key. The rendering endpoint accepts the photo, mask, output format, and various settings, while the gallery endpoint retrieves results based on the account or gallery identifier.

• The authentication key should be stored only on the server side; it must not be included in the web interface or mobile application packages.
• The density parameter ranges from 0 to 100, and it does not represent the actual follicular units during surgery.
• Parameters such as gender, widow’s peak, hairstyle, and hair color fall under visual assessment, rather than being part of medical diagnostic criteria.
• The API supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP as output formats.
• The public documentation does not specify API throttling, separate pricing, retry mechanisms, data regions, or service levels.
• Before integrating with the patient system, it is necessary to confirm through a contract the API permissions, points, functions for saving and deleting data, as well as the responsibilities related to security.

Prices and packages

The following are the prices in US dollars as displayed on the clinic’s pricing page on August 23, 2026. Both Basic and Professional versions offer a 14-day free trial; charges will be applied automatically after the trial period ends, unless the user cancels before the 14th day.

Points consumption

Trial, contract, and cancellation

• Basic and Professional currently offer a 14-day trial period.
• During the trial period, it can be canceled through the self-service dashboard or by sending a message, and no fees will be charged.
• If it is not canceled before the 14th day, it will automatically enter the paid phase.
• Non-standard, discounted, or enterprise contracts that do not start with a 14-day trial usually last at least one year.
• Long-term contracts offer a 30-day risk-free grace period, and cancellation must be carried out in accordance with the contract procedures.
• Historically, conference events offered a three-month trial period, but this is not part of the standard benefits available currently.

Individual price for facial anonymization

The page for facial anonymization also shows a link to the list of available options; the actual range of functions that are available may vary depending on the account or the stage at which one is located. It is necessary to verify whether these functions are indeed available in one’s region and for the particular package before placing an order.

Consumer prices

The Apple app is currently available for free download, but the app store page does not list any verifiable in-app purchase options. The consumer portal Studio also does not display fixed prices on its public page; the price to be applied should be based on the purchase interface within the account.

Simulation results are not medical conclusions.

Hairgen explicitly positions image generation as a tool for demonstration and sales support, rather than for clinical prediction or medical advice. Physiological differences, conditions of the donor area, the progression of hair loss, surgical techniques, as well as healing and care processes can all result in outcomes that differ from those shown in the images.

• It is not possible to determine from images whether a patient is suitable for FUE, FUT, DHI, or any other treatment.
• Simulated density is not a substitute for the number of hair follicles, the capacity of the donor area, or the design chosen by the doctor.
• The generated hairline does not represent something safe, natural, or medically feasible.
• A diagram of hair loss progression is merely a visual representation; it is not a definite forecast of an individual’s future.
• The clinic should display a range of possible outcomes at the same time, avoiding promises that a specific image will be achieved.
• Medications, surgeries, and other health decisions should be consulted with qualified medical professionals.

Image rights and commercial use

The current terms grant users the right to upload photos, but Hairgen retains ownership of the resulting images, granting users who comply with these terms a non-exclusive right to reproduce and display them. This structure is different from the common scenario where users own the generated images entirely.

Clinics may use the results in promotional materials after obtaining patient consent, but they must not disregard rights related to portrait usage, privacy, medical advertising, and requirements regarding informed consent. If a user gives explicit permission to Hairgen to use the generated results, the platform can utilize them for marketing purposes.

• The uploader must own the photo or have proper authorization.
• The patient agrees that AI processing, display, retention period, marketing, and withdrawal methods should be covered.
• It is forbidden to describe simulated images as real postoperative photos.
• Automated tools must not be used to bypass the normal interface in order to generate content in bulk or conduct competitive research.
• Violating the terms or content policy may result in the loss of permission to use the generated results.
• Before launching a commercial ad, legal and compliance officers should review the local regulations.

Privacy and photo storage

Hairgen handles email addresses, photo uploads, AI-generated photos, payment information, error-related data, as well as click and keyboard events. Photos may contain facial data, so both consumers and clinics should consider them as sensitive personal information.

The various sections of the privacy policy specify different durations for storing photos; clinic packages offer options of 30 days, 1 year, or no time limit. Before uploading photos of sensitive patients, it is necessary to confirm the actual rules through a written contract or data processing agreement, rather than relying on the shortest description provided on the website.

Training and promotion

The privacy policy states that photos and images generated from them are used solely for improving or retraining models, as well as for marketing purposes, only when the user explicitly agrees to it. Clinics should still verify the records of such consent, the methods for withdrawing consent, and whether historical data can be removed from training sets or promotional materials.

Account and data deletion

1. Delete the uploaded photos and generated results that are no longer needed from the dashboard.
2. Mobile app users submit account deletion requests to the data team via their registered email address.
3. Confirmed receipt of the deletion procedure and authentication instructions.
4. Know that personal data from mobile apps may be retained for 90 days for legal, security, or compliance purposes.
5. The clinic is required to delete the copies in CRM, Webhook, downloaded files, and local backups simultaneously.
6. Confirm the deletion; however, do not attach sensitive photos again to regular tickets.

Considerations for HIPAA and GDPR

The clinic’s pricing page states that HIPAA and GDPR compliance can be supported depending on the region and specific requirements, but this does not guarantee compliance for every account automatically. Compliance depends on contracts, data processing agreements, access controls, consent, storage and deletion procedures, as well as the actions taken by the institution itself.

• Before official use, verify whether a business partner agreement or an equivalent contract for medical data is available.
• Clarify the data location, subcontractors, encryption, audit logs, and event notifications.
• Do not assume that all health information will be automatically anonymized after the face is replaced.
• The treatment site, duration, clinic, document metadata, and context can still be used to identify the patient.
• Store the public marketing image library separately from the internal patient records.
• Configure minimum permissions for team accounts, revoke access upon departure, and conduct regular reviews of access rights.

Mobile apps

Hairgen.ai, an AI-based service for hair transplants, is currently available on the Apple App Store in versions for iPhone and iPad; it can also run on Mac devices equipped with Apple chips as well as Apple Vision devices. The app features AI-driven hair simulation and tracking of hair changes, while the AI chat function is still listed as upcoming.

The privacy label in the app store indicates that contact information, user content, and identifiers may be used for tracking across different apps or websites, and may be linked to an individual’s identity. This label is submitted by the developers and has not been verified independently by the platform; it should be considered together with Hairgen’s privacy policy.

GitHub and open source

As of the verification date, Hairgen’s official website, official documentation, and app stores do not provide a link to an officially recognized GitHub organization or a complete repository containing the product’s code. Public searches yield examples of code embedded with that name, but these are not sufficient to prove that the Hairgen platform or its models are open source.

Which users are it suitable for

• Consumers who are researching the appearance of hair transplants: compare different levels of hair restoration before seeking consultation.
• Hair transplantation clinics: Present personalized visual scenarios during consultations for FUE, FUT, or DHI.
• Dermatology and trichology clinics: explain changes in hair loss and assist patients in communicating with their doctors.
• Plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinics: anonymized, authorized before-and-after comparison photos.
• Clinic marketing team: Embed the simulator on the landing page and track effective leads.
• CRM and automation developers: Receive events related to component creation and validation via Webhooks.
• Collaboration platform: Photos, masks, and rendering parameters are submitted via API.

Product advantages

• Focused on hair restoration, it is more aligned with the process of hair transplant consultations than general hair style change tools.
• One recovery simulation generates four images, which helps to show the range of possible results rather than just a single ideal image.
• It also provides visual education on both the process of restoration and the process of hair loss, in opposite directions.
• It supports Studio clinics, team accounts, website embedding, Webhooks, and white labeling.
• The new model no longer requires manual creation of masks, thereby reducing the barriers to use for consultants and visitors.
• Quick mode can reduce the waiting time for visitors on the landing page.
• It supports consumer web interfaces and Apple mobile apps.
• The public update log continuously records improvements to models, components, organizations, and mobile versions.

Usage restrictions

• The rights structure for the generated results is such that the platform owns them, while users receive a non-exclusive license to use them.
• The retention period for photos varies across different sections of the privacy policy and on the plan pages.
• The independent price for consumers is not clearly listed on the pricing page of public clinics.
• The API documentation covers only two endpoints; rate limiting, separate pricing, and SLAs are not disclosed.
• The clinic component collects contact information, page parameters, and attribution identifiers, and a complete privacy notice is required.
• Unlimited storage by companies is not suitable for all medical or privacy regulations.
• The app is currently available only in English, and AI chatting is still a feature in the preview stage.
• No official open-source models, product repositories, or dedicated SDKs have been identified.
• Clinic contracts, medical advertisements, and rules regarding patient portraits may vary from region to region.

Supported platforms

Basic information

Recommendation score

Recommendation score: 4.3 / 5. Hairgen has developed a highly sophisticated product suite for hair restoration; it is particularly suitable for hair transplant clinics that need personalized simulations, ways to attract clients through their website, and demonstration tools for consultations.

It is not suitable for determining the feasibility of a surgery or guaranteeing the outcomes after the operation. Consumer prices, issues related to image storage, and the terms regarding rights to the generated results also need to be carefully examined before uploading or signing a contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hairgen?

Hairgen is an AI platform for hair restoration and hair loss simulation; it enables the creation of various implantation outcomes based on real photos, and it also provides clinics with studio tools, website components, facial anonymization features, and development interfaces.

Can Hairgen accurately predict the results of a hair transplant?

No. The authorities clearly define images as simulations; the actual results are influenced by factors such as physiological conditions, the area from which hair is taken, the technology used, the level of care provided, and the progression of hair loss.

Can Hairgen be tried out for free?

The Basic and Professional packages offered by the clinic include a 14-day free trial. If cancellation is not performed before the 14th day, the subscription will automatically switch to a paid version.

How much is Hairgen?

The Basic version of the clinic costs $249 per month, while the Professional version costs $599 per month; for the Enterprise version, contact sales. The app is available for free download, but the official website does not list all the pricing options for consumers.

How many images can one point generate?

Simulating hair regrowth generates four images per submission and costs 1 point. Simulating hair loss produces nine different results along with a puzzle layout, and this process costs 2 points; a standard rendering of a website component also costs 2 points.

Does Hairgen work for women?

Supported. The simulation of hair regrowth is not intended only for men; however, the final results, medical suitability, and design of the hairline still need to be assessed by qualified professionals.

Does Hairgen use photos to train the model?

The policy states that photos can be used for improvement or retraining only if the user explicitly agrees to participate in such programs. Clinics must confirm, through contracts, the procedures for recording consent, withdrawing from the program, and handling historical data.

How long will the photos be stored?

The official page lists various options such as 7 days, 30 days, 1 year, indefinite period, and storage until the user deletes it. The actual duration depends on the usage status and the plan selected; written confirmation should be obtained before uploading.

Does Hairgen comply with HIPAA?

The official website states that HIPAA workflows are supported, but this does not mean that all accounts are automatically in compliance. Clinics must verify the contracts, data processing agreements, permissions, consents, storage procedures, incident response plans, and their own operational practices.

Does Hairgen have an API?

Yes. Public documents allow for the submission of photos and masks to create images, and it is also possible to browse through image libraries; however, details regarding restrictions, pricing, SLAs, and more comprehensive permissions need to be confirmed with the platform.

Is Hairgen open source?

It is not open-source. The official website does not make available the generation models, weights, the complete source code of the platform, nor any official product repository.

Does the image generated become the property of the user?

It is not a simple form of full ownership. The terms state that Hairgen owns the resulting content, and it grants compliant users non-exclusive rights to copy and display it; the original photos, however, remain the property of the users.

Summary

The core value of Hairgen is to enable consumers and clinics to discuss the visual outcomes of hair restoration using real photos, and to integrate simulation results into consultation processes, website marketing efforts, and communication with patients. With four levels of restoration, nine types of hair loss scenarios, built-in components, and a clinic Studio, it is more professional than ordinary hair style filters.

Before making a choice, it is essential to strictly separate simulation demonstrations from medical predictions, and pay close attention to issues such as consent for the use of photos, retention periods, authorization for training, rights regarding the generated results, automatic renewal of subscriptions, and data processing agreements. For clinics, compliance procedures are just as important as human interpretation and image quality.
