Hair Sample Collection

Hair sample collection involves carefully cutting a small amount of hair, usually from the scalp, to test for substances like drugs or toxins. The process is straightforward: the technician uses clean scissors to take a few strands close to the scalp, often removing about 1.5 inches of hair. The sample is then stored securely for laboratory analysis. Hair testing provides a record of substance use over several months, offering valuable information for medical, legal, or employment-related purposes. It's a non-invasive and reliable method for detecting long-term exposure to various substances.
