Trichotest – Genetic Hair Loss Test
Trichotest is an innovative genetic test designed to uncover the root causes of hair loss and provide a scientifically-backed, personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique genetic makeup and lifestyle. This advanced test helps identify the biological and metabolic factors that influence the outcome of medications for hair loss.
By combining advanced DNA analysis with clinical research on alopecia and individual lifestyle factors, Trichotest allows dermatologists to prescribe the most effective treatment options for each patient, eliminating the guesswork from hair loss therapy. It’s one of the first solutions to bring the benefits of personalized medicine into the world of hair loss treatment.
How Trichotest Works
- Initial consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a hair loss specialist, who will collect detailed medical history and lifestyle information—including current medications, stress levels, physical activity, nutrition, and family history of hair loss.
- DNA sample collection: A quick and painless cheek swab is used to collect your DNA sample. The sample is then sent to a specialized laboratory for genetic analysis.
- Genetic analysis: Your DNA is analyzed across 13 genes associated with alopecia. The lab examines gene variants related to hormonal pathways (androgens and aromatase), inflammatory response, blood circulation, collagen synthesis, prostaglandin metabolism, as well as vitamin and mineral absorption.
- Personalized report and treatment plan: Within a few weeks, your doctor receives a comprehensive report, including your genetic profile, the most suitable active ingredients and dosages for treatment, recommendations for customized hair growth solutions, and a complementary regimen of vitamins, topical solutions, and lifestyle adjustments.
What to Expect During and After the Test
- Procedure duration: The appointment takes around 20 minutes.
- Discomfort level: Completely non-invasive, no needles or blood required.
- Results timeline: Genetic analysis and treatment plan are typically delivered within 2–4 weeks.
- Next steps: Upon receiving your report, your doctor will prescribe a treatment based on your results. In most cases, this includes a combination of topical treatments, oral medications, and supportive vitamins or supplements.
