She developed the first neonatal mouse model of intestinal infection using fully pathogenic human-isolated strains of Yersinia enterocolitica. Despite having made many discoveries and after a decade in academic research, she decided to become independent to pursue her own scientific interests in gut and skin microbiome. This led her to become a hair loss specialist. This field allows her to study microbiome interactions in the smallest human organ, the hair follicle. She's an expert in hair transplant scar camouflaging using scalp micropigmentation & biocompatible hair implantation. With these techniques, she changes cosmetically patients suffering from hair loss or hair thinning due to gut and skin dysbiosis, and environmental factors. #trichology #hairloss #dysbiosis #bacteriaisthenewblack #alopecia #eczema #psoriasis #seborrheicdermatitis #scalpmicrobiomeresearch #biomefriendly Be sure to like and subscribe to #healthyself Hosted by Doctor Christian Gonzalez N.D.
