Why This Matters
Contributing to Science That
Could Help Millions
Hair loss affects over 1.4 billion people globally, yet its root causes remain poorly understood at a structural level. Hairguard's imaging research is working to change that — and we need participants like you to make it possible.
Pioneering Research
Your scan data contributes to a first-of-its-kind structural analysis of the scalp and cranium across men with varying degrees of hair loss.
Impact Beyond You
The findings from this study will be used to inform future hair loss treatments and potentially help millions of people living with the psychological and social effects of alopecia.
Fairly Compensated
We value your time. Participants receive $100 (or the equivalent in local currency) via direct bank transfer upon completion of the scan.
Safe & Non-Invasive
The CBCT scan is a standard, widely-used dental imaging procedure. There are no injections, no medications, and no discomfort involved.
Who We're Looking For

Bonus Opportunity
Refer Your Brother — Earn $200 Each
Brother pairs are exceptionally valuable to our research. If you and your brother participate together — and you have noticeably different levels of hair loss — each of you will receive $200 instead of the standard $100.
Why Brother Pairs Matter
Siblings share genetics but can have very different hair loss outcomes. Comparing brothers with different levels of hair loss gives us uniquely powerful data that unrelated participants cannot provide.
Different Hair Loss Required
To qualify for the brother pair bonus, you and your brother must have a noticeably different degree of hair loss — for example, one with a full head of hair and one who is significantly thinning or bald.
Both Must Complete Their Scan
The $200 payment is made once both brothers have completed their individual CBCT scans. Each brother receives $200 via bank transfer once the pair is confirmed.
per brother
- Both brothers must meet age & ancestry criteria
- Different levels of hair loss required
- Both scans must be completed
- $200 paid to each brother separately
