A dermatologist who receives the myhairline.ai PDF report reviews it in an average of 3 minutes, tripling the data density compared to a verbal history alone. This guide walks through every section of the report so you understand exactly what your doctor sees and how to get the most clinical value from each page.
Why a Structured PDF Report Matters
Verbal history is unreliable for hair loss. Patients underestimate or overestimate progression, forget treatment start dates, and struggle to describe density changes with precision. A structured report removes these gaps.
The myhairline.ai PDF report consolidates months (or years) of tracking data into a format designed for clinical review. Each of the 8 sections serves a specific diagnostic purpose.
Section 1: Density Trend Chart
The density trend chart is the first thing your dermatologist sees. It plots your measured hair density over time across all tracked zones on a single graph.
Each line represents a different scalp zone: hairline, temples, mid-scalp, crown, and donor area. Treatment start dates appear as vertical markers, so your doctor can instantly see which interventions correlated with density changes.
This section answers the most important clinical question: is density stable, improving, or declining?
Section 2: Zone Comparison Table
The zone comparison table breaks density data into a structured grid. Each zone shows its baseline measurement, current measurement, percentage change, and a color-coded status indicator (green for improvement, yellow for stable, red for decline).
| Zone | Baseline | Current | Change | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hairline | 142 FU/cm2 | 148 FU/cm2 | +4.2% | Improving |
| Temples | 128 FU/cm2 | 125 FU/cm2 | -2.3% | Stable |
| Mid-scalp | 165 FU/cm2 | 170 FU/cm2 | +3.0% | Improving |
| Crown | 135 FU/cm2 | 131 FU/cm2 | -3.0% | Declining |
This table helps your dermatologist identify which zones are responding to treatment and which zones need attention. Uneven response patterns can suggest localized issues such as scarring, poor blood supply, or differential DHT sensitivity.
Section 3: Treatment History Log
The treatment history log records every treatment you have logged, with precise start dates, dosages, and any noted interruptions. This is critical for clinical decision-making because treatment gaps directly affect outcomes.
For example, if your density chart shows a dip at month 4 and your treatment log shows a 6-week gap in finasteride at month 3, the correlation is immediately visible. Finasteride halts further loss in 80-90% of consistent users, but consistency is the key variable.
Section 4: Photo Timeline
The photo timeline presents standardized comparison photos arranged chronologically. Each photo is captured under guided conditions (same angle, same lighting prompt, same distance), making month-over-month comparison clinically useful.
Your dermatologist uses this section to visually confirm what the density numbers show. Photos also capture qualitative changes that density measurements may miss, such as improved hair texture, reduced miniaturization, or changes in hair caliber.
Section 5: Milestone Annotations
Milestone annotations are user-added or system-generated notes tied to specific dates on the timeline. Examples include treatment changes, significant life events (high stress periods, illness, surgery), lab results, and side effect notes.
These annotations provide clinical context that raw numbers cannot. A density drop that coincides with a noted illness tells a very different story than an unexplained drop. Your dermatologist can factor these events into their assessment.
Section 6: Benchmark Comparison
The benchmark comparison section shows how your density data compares against aggregated, anonymized data from other users with similar profiles. The comparison factors include Norwood stage, age range, treatment type, and tracking duration.
This section tells your dermatologist whether your response is above average, on track, or below average relative to comparable cases. A below-average response after 12 months on finasteride might prompt a conversation about adding minoxidil (40-60% regrowth rate) or exploring PRP ($500 to $2,000 per session, with 30-40% density increase in clinical studies).
Section 7: Risk Flags
Risk flags are automated alerts generated when your data shows patterns that warrant clinical attention. Examples include:
- Rapid density decline exceeding 10% in a single quarter
- Diffuse thinning pattern inconsistent with androgenetic alopecia
- Donor area density changes that may affect transplant candidacy
- Treatment non-response after the expected response window
Risk flags do not diagnose conditions. They surface data patterns that help your dermatologist ask the right follow-up questions and order appropriate tests.
Section 8: Summary Narrative
The summary narrative is a plain-language paragraph generated from your data. It states your current Norwood stage assessment, overall density trend, active treatments, and any flagged concerns. This section is designed to be read in under 30 seconds.
A typical summary might read: "Patient has tracked for 9 months. Baseline Norwood 3, currently stable. Active treatments: finasteride 1mg daily (9 months), minoxidil 5% (7 months). Overall density change: +6.2%. Crown zone shows strongest response. No risk flags."
How to Export Your Report
Exporting the PDF takes three steps:
- Open the myhairline.ai dashboard and navigate to the Reports section
- Select the date range you want to include and toggle on the sections relevant to your appointment
- Tap "Export PDF" and share the file with your dermatologist via email, patient portal, or printed copy
For a comprehensive initial consultation, include all 8 sections. For routine follow-ups, the density trend chart, zone comparison table, and summary narrative are usually sufficient.
Getting the Most Clinical Value
Bring your PDF report to every dermatology appointment. The structured format saves appointment time and ensures your doctor has objective data rather than subjective recollection.
If your dermatologist is unfamiliar with the report format, point them to the summary narrative first. It provides immediate clinical context, and the supporting sections offer depth as needed.
