Fagron TrichoTest™
DNA TEST for hair loss

Fagron TrichoTest™ is a genetic test for hair loss that analyses gene variations and lifestyle factors so that personalised hair loss treatments can be accurately recommended.

Studies show there is a relationship between your genetic profile and how your hair loss responds to different types of treatment.

This means not all hair loss treatments work for everybody, and the success of any given treatment or treatment plan is dependent on your genetic profile and also lifestyle factors.

Thanks to the unique analysis performed by the Fagron TrichoTest™ we can identify which hair loss treatments are most likely to provide the best results for you.

About Hair Loss

Hair loss is a progressive condition that has different forms and causes determined by a combination of both genetic and extrinsic factors. The combination of these factors should be addressed as a whole, during hair loss or alopecia treatment. Many clinics offer treatments for thinning hair but unless all the factors are considered then it is very possible that you will not get optimal results.

Factors that impact hair loss / alopecia

• Increased testosterone levels
• Hormonal changes
• Inflammation
• Blood circulation issues
• Low levels of vitamins and minerals
• Stress
• Pollution and others
