A test that analyses a patient’s DNA and lifestyle factors has been launched that aims to determine the cause of a patient’s hair loss to assist practitioners in recommending the most appropriate treatment approaches.
The Fagron TrichoTest by Fagron UK, part of the Fagron Group, is performed by taking a saliva test and analysing three polymorphisms within 16 DNA mutations (SNPs), examining a total of 48 genetic variations.
Medication, pathologies, emotional state, physical activity, habits and family history are also taken into consideration through a patient questionnaire to propose an individualised treatment that will be the most effective to the particular patient, according to the company.
