Why does patchy hair loss require diagnosis first?
Localised loss may relate to alopecia areata, infection, traction, scarring disease or other causes; an aesthetic injection plan should not be assumed. Hair loss is not one diagnosis; no standard procedure plan can be set before cause, scalp findings and systemic factors are assessed.
This translation has no recorded clinical or medical-language review.
