Clinical Indications

Is This Right For You?

Patient Profile

Recommended for patients with scarring alopecia, atypical hair loss patterns, or progressive thinning unresponsive to standard therapies.

Clinical Rationale

A scalp biopsy extracts hair follicles along with the surrounding dermis to diagnose cicatricial (scarring) vs. non-cicatricial alopecia, directing the correct medical hair restoration protocol.

Clinical Pathway

The Procedure

1

Step 1

After trichoscopy mapping, the selected scalp site is numbed with local anaesthetic.

2

Step 2

A 4mm punch is inserted parallel to the angle of hair growth to avoid shearing the follicles.

3

Step 3

The cylindrical tissue is removed, and the scalp wound is closed using a single mattress suture.

4

Step 4

The sample is sent to the pathology laboratory for transverse and vertical sectioning..
