Are you concerned about losing your hair? What if we told you that there was a test that could determine if you are genetically predisposed to hair loss? While hair loss has multiple causes — including hormones, medications, and environmental factors — genetics plays a major role. While the most obvious consequence of hair loss is how it affects your appearance, hair loss can also impact emotional well-being and confidence. Androgenetic alopecia, a genetic form of hair loss, becomes more common with age. Studies indicate it affects approximately 50% of men by the age of 50 and up to 40% of women by age 50, which increases after menopause.
At Happy Hormone Cottage and Integrative Hormone Center, our team of professionals offers , a state-of-the-art, non-invasive genetic test to help patients understand their personal risk of developing genetic hair loss conditions like androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium. Knowing your predisposition for hair loss allows us to provide personalized strategies for real results! Early action can help preserve hair and make treatment easier and more effective.
Our genetic testing for hair loss uses microarray technology to analyze 13 genes and 48 variants to identify markers associated with hair loss, and is 99.9% accurate. Using a simple mouth swab, the sample is sealed and sent for analysis, which takes about two weeks. Once your results are ready, you will meet with one of our nurse practitioners for a consultation. Your nurse practitioner will explain the analysis and provide insights into what therapeutic options are most likely to treat your hair loss successfully.
