Dermatology · hair and scalp diagnosis · medical management and monitoring
Dr. Yongbo Jia is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its dermatology service at Chongqing West District Hospital — the lead physician of this site’s hair and scalp content. A vice chief physician and licensed aesthetic attending, he graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and trained in dermatology at the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and at Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
His practice is the diagnosis and medical management of hair loss: the pattern and speed of loss, the state of the scalp, trichoscopy findings, and the judgement about which blood tests or biopsy the history actually justifies. He separates the categories that look alike but behave differently — pattern hair loss, shedding conditions, immune-mediated loss and early scarring alopecia — and he manages hair loss as a long-term condition with monitoring rather than a single course of treatment.

Diagnosis first
Most hair treatment failures trace back to a missed diagnosis. Pattern hair loss, shedding after illness and early scarring alopecia can look similar in a photograph and behave completely differently; getting the category right is what decides whether the next twelve months are worth spending.
