IN A NUTSHELL

Skin genetic tests use a simple mouth swab (a cotton swab is wiped against the inside of your cheek; no needles or scans are needed). This sample gets processed at a special molecular genomics lab which then issues the full report.

The tests evaluate levels of inflammation and structural damage in skin, as well as risk of specific issues. The goal is to take away the guesswork and formulate an action plan that will most definitely work for your skin & health.

Food allergies, weight, endurance, gut & heart health related parameters may also be tested in the same sample to craft a scientific and highly targeted lifestyle plans for individuals.

WHY TEST THE SKIN

Skin is the largest organ of the body which envelopes us and protects us from external elements: environment, infections but skin changes with age. The changes of aging are affected by both, the genetic make up of a person (intrinsic) and the external environment (extrinsic). Even two identical twins age differently based on their lifestyles & daily routines: some studies attribute about 60% of aging related changes to genetics.

What Can Skin Genetic Tests reveal:

The tests will tell you where you stand compared to the general population in your age group and how you can expect to age. Some of the parameters studied include deficiency in essential vitamins and minerals, levels of collagen breakdown and oxidative stress; and predisposition to sun damage, cancers & cellulite.

Individuals and their doctors can formulate a targeted individual plan for aesthetic treatments, lifestyle modification and customized supplements based on the results of the skin genetic tests.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS

The sample is taken by the doctor in clinic using a cotton swab which collects cells from the inside of your cheek. The process is quick, painless and involves no needles or scans. The sample is then sent to the partner lab which prepares a detailed dossier of your genetic make up. The printed report is delivered within a few weeks. Results are discussed in detail in clinic, first by a trained genetic counsellor & then the doctor.
