Trichotest - DNA analysis of hair loss and baldness

An innovation in hair loss treatment is the most complete genetic TrichoTest, which enables fully personalized treatment of alopecia. The test determines the genetic predisposition to scalp diseases, which will ensure that your doctor sets the most precise and effective therapy that will slow down and reduce hair loss.


Description of the procedure

Hair loss is a natural part of the human life cycle, and most people experience periods of thinning or loss of hair during their lifetime. Hair loss is more common and usually more severe in men. Approximately 50% of men experience some degree of baldness by the age of 50, and in older age, baldness affects up to 80% of this population. Up to 50% of women also experience hair loss and thinning. Female and male pattern baldness usually differ in the location, intensity, and age at which this process begins.

Partial or complete hair loss is called alopecia. This progressive condition can be caused by hereditary factors, autoimmune diseases, hormonal disorders and stress. Androgenic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in both sexes. It is a condition in which dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male sex hormone that is produced by the conversion of testosterone, weakens and depletes certain follicles, resulting in shorter and thinner hair, and hair growth slows down or stops completely. This type of hair loss is thought to be related to hereditary factors, hormones and age.

It is precisely because of its numerous genetic factors that alopecia is a complex phenomenon and requires very precise diagnostics – the first step in successfully treating the problem. Thanks to the progress of modern medicine and technology, a major turning point in its treatment was brought about by TrichoTest !

Certain genes are responsible for hair loss

TrichoTest is the most complete genetic test for alopecia that simultaneously analyzes genetic factors and other relevant patient characteristics. This unique and innovative test allows doctors to take a fully personalized approach to alopecia treatment and ensures exceptional diagnostic accuracy.

A person has 23 chromosomes from their mother and 23 chromosomes from their father. They are found in pairs, and each pair of chromosomes consists of DNA packages containing genes inherited from parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Genes carry all the information – from hair color, eye color, height, to risk for certain diseases.

The test analyzes 48 genetic variations associated with alopecia within 13 different genes. Thus, the test determines the genetic predisposition to scalp diseases, which makes it easier to choose the appropriate treatment option that is fully tailored to the patient, as well as the predisposition to baldness, or hair loss.

Candidates

TrichoTest is intended for anyone who wants to understand how their genetics affect the treatment of alopecia, people who have a family history of alopecia, and men and women who have unsuccessfully used various treatments for partial or complete hair loss.

Preparation

Before the test, a scalp examination and collection of all necessary information about your health condition are required by a doctor. You should also not eat, drink or rinse your mouth for an hour before taking the swab.

Hair loss is not pleasant, but the good news is that with this unique diagnostic procedure you get the best and most effective solution, completely tailored to your problem.

Procedure progress

The procedure is very quick and simple. It is performed by taking a swab of the buccal mucosa, which takes one minute. Your sample is then properly stored and sent to a specialized genetic laboratory.

The next step is to complete a questionnaire with a doctor about your medical history and health condition. The entire process takes place in strictly controlled conditions, which guarantee the security and protection of your personal data and your DNA, which is used exclusively for this purpose, all under the supervision of top geneticists.

The results are ready within 4-5 weeks and are available only to your doctor.

Recovery

TrichoTest is completely painless and we guarantee data confidentiality.

From taking the sample to sending the unique results back to the doctor via the Fagron Genomics platform. The detailed report comes in 50 pages and includes:

  • Summary of patient characteristics
  • Complete genetic analysis with all necessary explanations
  • Treatment proposal and therapy

ADVANTAGES of TrichoTest:

  • Fully personalized treatment – ​​based on the test results, you receive your personalized preparations.
  • Explanation of genetic factors – you receive a complete report explaining your genetic characteristics and their connection to alopecia.
  • Doctor’s support – your doctor will now fully understand your genetic characteristics and how they are related to hair loss.
  • One-time genetic test – your genetic results will not change throughout your life and this genetic testing is only performed once.

Precautions

In the fight against alopecia, sometimes one method is enough, and the doctor can also recommend a combination of treatments, in order to stop the progression of hair loss, i.e. in order to restore the quality of lost hair. Our experts recommend hair and scalp mesotherapy and thinning hair therapy with your own blood . These treatments deeply nourish and restore follicles as well as other scalp cells and help preserve and re-grow hair.
