Why get tested? Hair loss isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is treatment. TrichoTest™ analyzes selected genetic variants associated with relevant metabolic pathways and potential response to certain hair-loss treatment ingredients. The goal is simple: give your clinician more information before treatment decisions are made.

Your genetic results don't make the decision alone. LMC reviews them alongside your hair-loss pattern, medical history, medications, contraindications and clinical scalp assessment.

Important: TrichoTest™ is a treatment-planning tool, not a stand-alone diagnosis. It cannot identify every cause of hair loss, replace medically appropriate testing or guarantee treatment results.

Move Beyond Trial-and-Error Hair-Loss Treatment

What Can TrichoTest™ Tell You About Hair-Loss Treatment?

TrichoTest™ adds your genetics to the treatment-planning conversation. The pharmacogenetic test examines selected inherited variants associated with hair-loss pathways and potential response to certain active ingredients. A qualified healthcare professional can then interpret those findings alongside your health history, medications and clinical assessment.

Think of it as another piece of evidence—not a crystal ball. It won't diagnose every reason you're losing hair. What it can do is provide personalized genetic information that may help make ingredient-based treatment decisions more informed.

1. Swab Your Cheek

That's it. A buccal swab is gently rubbed inside your cheek to collect DNA. There's no blood draw, scalp biopsy or downtime. Because inherited DNA variants generally don't change, the genetic collection is typically needed only once.

2. Get Your Genetic Report

The laboratory analyzes selected inherited variants associated with relevant hair-loss treatment pathways and potential response to certain active ingredients. You receive a personalized report—not a generic hair-loss checklist.

3. Build a Smarter Treatment Plan

This is where the report becomes useful. LMC reviews your results with your hair-loss pattern, medical history, current medications, contraindications, lifestyle factors and scalp findings before discussing appropriate options.

Genetics or Scalp Analysis? At LMC, You Don't Have to Guess.

TrichoTest™ and HairMetrix® answer different questions. TrichoTest™ looks at selected inherited genetic variants that may help inform ingredient-based treatment selection. HairMetrix® AI hair and scalp analysis measures what's happening on your scalp, including visible characteristics such as hair density, shaft thickness and follicular units.

Put simply: TrichoTest™ looks at selected genetic information. HairMetrix® measures visible hair and scalp characteristics. Combined with a clinical assessment, they can provide different pieces of the hair-loss picture.

Considering PRP hair restoration, PRF hair restoration or scalp mesotherapy? Suitability for these procedures must be assessed separately. TrichoTest™ should not be used to claim or predict whether PRP or PRF will work.

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.
  • Non-Invasive and Convenient: The test is easily performed with a simple saliva sample collected in our office.
Ultimately, the Trichotest is an investment in a more targeted, effective, and scientifically grounded approach to combating hair loss.
How long does it take to get Trichotest results and start treatment?
After your saliva sample is collected, the Trichotest results are typically available within 3-4 weeks. Once we receive your comprehensive report, we will schedule a follow-up consultation to discuss your personalized results and recommended treatment plan. We prioritize getting you started on the most effective treatment as quickly as possible. The turnaround time allows for accurate genetic analysis and the development of a tailored strategy designed specifically for you.
