Advanced Diagnostics for Hair & Scalp Disorders

We use the most advanced methods for diagnosing alopecia from a scalp biopsy.

Horizontally sectioned biopsies provide a wealth of information regarding the state of the hair follicles in patients with alopecia, yet few pathology laboratories perform this service. Horizontal sections are performed routinely at Darling Hair Restoration.

Dr. Darling utilizes an even more advanced method called the vertical technique for diagnosing hair loss and other disorders from a scalp biopsy. The technique uses vertical testing approach that provides a greater amount of information to the referring physician.
