Crown Hair Transplant Before and After
The crown behaves differently from the hairline in photographs. Its spiral growth pattern and its position on the head change how coverage reads to the eye.
The crown is a harder area to photograph
Crown photos are usually taken from above and behind, where overhead lighting exaggerates scalp visibility. The same crown can look noticeably thinner or fuller depending on the angle and the light.
Why crown coverage reads differently
Hair at the crown radiates outward from a central point, so it covers less scalp per hair than hair lying flat and forward. Crown comparisons are therefore often described as more gradual than hairline comparisons.
- Angle and lighting strongly affect the impression
- The spiral pattern reduces apparent coverage
- Crown areas are commonly slower to mature
Visualizing a crown change
The simulator's crown option produces an illustrative image of improved apparent coverage at the crown. It is a visual exploration, not an estimate of what treatment could achieve.
