Personalized Hair Loss Assessment

What Is TrichoTest?

TrichoTest is a pharmacogenetic hair loss assessment that combines information from your DNA with relevant factors from your medical history. It may help a qualified healthcare professional identify treatment ingredients and approaches that are more compatible with your individual genetic profile.

One-Time DNA Collection

Your DNA does not change over time, so the cheek-swab collection is generally completed only once. Treatment recommendations may still evolve as your health, medications and available evidence change.

Reproducible Genetic Analysis

The laboratory method is designed to provide 99.9% analytical reproducibility. This refers to the consistency of the genetic analysis, not a guarantee of treatment success.

Personalized Clinical Context

Genetic findings are considered alongside your hair loss pattern, medical history, medications, lifestyle factors and scalp assessment rather than being used as a stand-alone diagnosis.

Supporting a More Personalized Hair Restoration Plan

TrichoTest may reduce some of the trial and error involved in selecting hair loss treatments. At LMC, the results can be considered alongside HairMetrix AI hair and scalp analysis and your clinical assessment when discussing options such as topical or oral therapies, PRP hair restoration , PRF and scalp mesotherapy.

What is Trichotest?
The TrichoTest, with “tricho” referring to hair in Greek, is a cutting-edge genetic test designed to determine if your genes predispose you to hair loss. Developed by hair health experts, this non-invasive test requires only a simple saliva sample. By examining your genes, the TrichoTest provides crucial insights into the potential causes of your hair loss. It can identify your likelihood of developing conditions like pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and other forms of hair thinning. Essentially, it deciphers the genetic factors contributing to your individual hair loss profile, paving the way for more personalized and effective treatment strategies.
How does the Trichotest work?
  1. Simple Saliva Collection: The process begins with a straightforward saliva sample collection during your consultation at our clinic. This non-invasive method ensures comfort and ease.
  2. Advanced Laboratory Analysis: Your saliva sample is then sent to specialized genetic labs for cutting-edge genetic analysis. These labs utilize state-of-the-art technology and sophisticated algorithms to examine genetic markers associated with hair loss.
  3. Personalized Report & Treatment Plan: Upon completion of the analysis, you will receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report. This report provides personalized insights into your genetic predisposition to various types of hair loss and includes tailored treatment recommendations based on your unique genetic profile.
What will the Fagron TrichoTest™ test for?
The Fagron TrichoTest™ offers an in-depth analysis by examining three specific polymorphisms within 16 DNA mutations (SNPs), totaling the scrutiny of 48 genetic variations. These carefully selected genetic variations are directly linked to seven key categories relevant to hair loss treatment. The TrichoTest™ assesses your genetic predispositions in relation to:
  • Prostaglandins Metabolism: Understanding pathways affecting hair follicle cycling.
  • Inflammation: Identifying inflammatory factors that can contribute to hair loss.
  • Androgenic Effect: Assessing sensitivity to hormones like DHT, a major cause of pattern baldness.
  • Vasodilation and Blood Circulation: Analyzing factors affecting nutrient and oxygen delivery to hair follicles.
  • Collagen Synthesis: Evaluating genetic influences on scalp and hair follicle structural integrity.
  • Deficiency of Vitamins and Minerals: Determining genetic tendencies towards vitamin and mineral imbalances impacting hair health.
  • Insulin Metabolism: Investigating the role of insulin resistance in hair loss.
In essence, the Fagron TrichoTest™ delivers a comprehensive genetic analysis that illuminates the multifaceted genetic factors influencing hair loss and treatment response. This allows for highly personalized and effective hair loss management strategies.
Who is an ideal candidate for Trichotest?
The TrichoTest is beneficial for anyone experiencing hair loss or hair thinning, and who wants a deeper understanding of the root causes. It's particularly valuable for:
  • Individuals noticing early signs of hair loss or those with a family history of baldness.
  • People who have tried various hair loss treatments without success and seek a more targeted approach.
  • Those wanting to proactively prevent hair loss by understanding their genetic risk.
  • Individuals interested in personalized hair care solutions tailored to their unique genetic makeup.
By providing genetic insights, the TrichoTest empowers both men and women to make informed decisions about their hair health and choose the most effective treatment strategies.
What are the benefits of getting a Trichotest?
Undergoing a Trichotest offers several key advantages for managing your hair health:
  • Personalized Treatment Plans: Receive treatment recommendations specifically tailored to your genetic profile, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.
  • Avoid Ineffective Treatments: Eliminate the guesswork and potential wasted expense on treatments that are genetically unlikely to work for you.
  • Proactive Hair Loss Management: Understand your genetic predispositions early on to implement preventative measures and slow down or halt hair loss progression.
  • Informed Decisions: Gain deeper knowledge about the underlying causes of your hair loss, empowering you to make informed choices about your care.
