Hair loss is a common concern that affects many people at different stages of life.<\/p>\n

When conventional treatments\/diagnostic methods don’t provide clear answers, hair medicine often resorts to advanced methods to better understand the underlying causes of hair loss<\/strong>. One of these crucial diagnostic tools is a scalp biopsy. <\/p>\n

A scalp biopsy is a medical procedure that involves taking small samples of tissue from the scalp for laboratory analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This technique allows anatomical-pathological doctors to closely analyze the structure of the hair follicle, identify abnormalities in the different layers of the scalp and often determine the specific cause of hair loss.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

How can a scalp biopsy be performed<\/span>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

The procedure is generally simple and minimally invasive<\/strong>. A small piece of scalp, often the size of a pencil lead, is removed under local anesthesia. <\/p>\n

This fragment is then sent for laboratory analysis, where specialists examine the tissue at a microscopic level to diagnose possible medical conditions that may be contributing to the hair loss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

How can you help with diagonosis<\/span>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Scalp biopsy plays a crucial role in identifying specific pathologies that may be contributing to hair loss<\/strong>. This includes cicatricial alopecia, alopecia areata and other scalp diseases. <\/p>\n

By understanding the underlying cause of hair loss, doctors can customize more effective and targeted treatment plans<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
For example.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

If the biopsy reveals an inflammatory process, topical or systemic anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed.<\/p>\n

If an infection is detected, specific antibiotics may be recommended. In more serious cases, such as permanent scarring or cicatricial alopecia, other treatment options, such as hair transplantation, may be considered. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
