Genetic Testing for Hair Loss
Personalized insight into the root causes of hair thinning and loss.
Hair loss is not one-size-fits-all. Genetics play a significant role in how, when, and why hair thinning occurs. Genetic testing for hair loss provides valuable insight into inherited factors that influence hair follicle sensitivity, hormone response, inflammation, and nutrient processing. This advanced testing allows our providers to create a more targeted, personalized hair restoration plan based on your unique genetic profile.
What Genetic Hair Loss Testing Evaluates
Genetic testing can help identify factors that may contribute to hair thinning or loss, including:
- Genetic sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
- Inflammatory markers affecting the scalp
- Collagen and keratin production tendencies
- Nutrient absorption related to hair health
- Stress and oxidative response factors
Understanding these factors helps guide treatment decisions and long-term hair health strategies.
How Genetic Testing Works
The test is simple and non-invasive, typically involving a cheek swab or saliva sample. Your sample is analyzed to identify genetic markers related to hair growth and scalp health.
Once results are available, our providers review them with you and use the information to design a customized hair restoration and scalp care plan tailored to your needs.
What to Expect
Sample collection is quick and painless, with no downtime. Results are typically available within a few weeks. During your follow-up consultation, we will explain your results in detail and discuss personalized treatment recommendations.
Based on your genetic profile, your plan may include a combination of scalp treatments, regenerative therapies, medical-grade products, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing maintenance strategies.
