What Can DNA Analysis Using TrichoTest Reveal About Your Hair Loss and Treatments?

Genetic DNA testing is a critical component of a new healthcare paradigm called Personalized Precision Medicine, which considers that each of us may respond differently to treatments based on our unique DNA and other factors. New research in the science of Pharmacogenomics or Pharmacogenetics uses genetic testing to help physicians prescribe medications specifically tailored to individual genetic variations found across patients. Genetic testing in hair loss helps patients identify effective treatments before starting on a path of “trial and error.” This approach can help save time, money, frustration… and hair follicles!

When it comes to hair loss, one of the most exciting advances in DNA testing is a new tool called TrichoTest™. Current patients of Bauman Medical can order their TrichoTest here from the Bauman e-store.

Watch this brief video below on “What is TrichoTest” and how it works to reveal what treatments might work best for your hair loss situation.

TrichoTest™ examines genetic variants related to the metabolic pathways of Androgenetic Alopecia, hair loss, hair growth, as well as various FDA-approved and off-label treatments. The “output” includes information on sulfotransferase activity, 5-alpha-reductase type 1 and type 2 activity, prostaglandin receptors, cardiovascular/blood circulation, collagen synthesis, biotin metabolism, and more. Interpreting your results from TrichoTest genetic hair loss testing and taking appropriate action requires consulting with a physician with knowledge and experience in Pharmacogenomics and Hair Loss, such as Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS. Dr. Bauman was one of the first physicians in North America to routinely recommend, perform, and interpret TrichoTest for his patients.
