Why do we extract biopsies from the mastoid area?
This is a very common question we get from both doctors and patients — and it has a solid scientific reason behind it.
The mastoid area is one of the most biologically valuable zones in the scalp:
✅ It’s rich in progenitor cells, smart exosomes, and extracellular matrix
✅ It’s naturally protected from the effects of DHT, which means the follicles remain stronger and healthier over time
✅ It’s a highly vascularized zone, supporting better tissue viability
✅ It’s protected from sun exposure, helping preserve the regenerative potential
✅ And finally — it’s an area that can be easily covered after extraction, ensuring discretion and comfort
In short, it’s the perfect donor area to obtain the autologous micrografts we use in our regenerative hair treatment.
