Individual machines and their prices are on the machines page. This page explains what separates them — and if you are looking at a cheaper machine from elsewhere, the five things that get cut to reach that price is the page to read first.
What moves the price
| Factor | Effect | Concretely |
|---|---|---|
| Skin only, or skin and scalp | Largest single factor | The combined X6 is roughly double a facial analyser — it is effectively two service lines |
| Number of spectra | Large | 4 on the scalp specialist, 8 on the facial and combined systems |
| Sensor | Moderate | ~36 MP on the A5, 48 MP industrial on the X6 |
| Indicator coverage | Moderate | 17 on the B3, 27+ skin plus 9 scalp on the X6 |
| Magnification included | Moderate | Micro-inspection handpiece included on the X6 and T3; an add-on on the B3 |
| Capture hardware | Real but invisible on a spec sheet | 3D front/left/right, forehead rest and chin pad, pull-down shading hood |
| Reporting features | Small on paper, large in daily use | Self-editing, 19 languages, watermarks, H5 QR sharing |
| Cloud, CRM and multi-device | Small, high value for chains | Client files, analytics dashboard, multi-device backstage |
| Portability | Moderate | Semi-open folding A5 versus a 20.5″ fixed unit at 14.6 kg total |
The price steps, plainly
| Price | What you get for it |
|---|---|
| ₹11,000 | Live magnified viewing at 50×/200× on an 11.3″ screen. No AI, no report, no tracking. A consultation aid, not an analyser. |
| ₹1,10,000 – ₹1,20,000 | Entry into real AI analysis. The A5 brings 8 spectra, ~36 MP and a semi-open portable design with a listed 1-year warranty. |
| ₹1,30,000 | The scalp specialist — 4 spectra, 200×/50×, 13 indicators across 5 zones, backstage analytics. Different job, not a step up from facial. |
| ₹1,45,000 | Fuller facial coverage — 17 indicators, 3D capture, 19 languages, self-editing reports, microscopic add-on. |
| ₹2,85,000 | Skin and scalp in one platform — 38 detection functions, 48 MP, skin-age prediction, micro-inspection included, full CRM. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an AI skin analyzer cost in India?
On our own store, AI analysers run from about ₹1,10,000 to ₹2,85,000 pre-tax. A handheld dermascope for live magnified viewing is ₹11,000, but that is a different category of tool.
Why is the combined machine twice the price?
It covers skin and scalp - 27+ skin indicators plus 9 scalp indicators, 8-spectrum skin imaging plus scalp tri-spectrum, 48 MP sensor, skin-age prediction and included micro-inspection. It is effectively two service lines in one platform.
Is the scalp analyser cheaper because it does less?
It does a different job, not a smaller one - 4 purpose-chosen spectra, 200x magnification and 13 indicators across 5 zones. For a hair clinic it is the right machine regardless of what a facial analyser costs.
Is EMI available?
Yes, via credit card, and charges apply. Ask any supplier both whether finance exists and what it costs you in total.
