DNA-test
A genetic test determines how your body metabolises hair loss medications — for personalised prescribing without guesswork.
What does it involve?
Gene variants in metabolic enzymes (including CYP1A2 and CYP3A4) determine how quickly finasteride, dutasteride or minoxidil are broken down. Fast metabolisers may not achieve sufficient plasma levels; slow metabolisers face a higher risk of side effects at standard doses. The DNA test identifies your pharmacogenetic profile via a simple blood draw. The doctor uses the results to choose the right molecule and dose — without guessing.
How the treatment unfolds
Blood draw
A standard blood draw taking 10 minutes. Do not eat anything and drink water only for at least 1 hour before the draw.
Laboratory analysis
The sample is analysed for relevant gene variants affecting hair loss medication. Processing takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Results review
Your doctor discusses the pharmacogenetic report and translates it into a concrete, personalised medication proposal.
Lifelong validity
Your DNA does not change. The test only needs to be done once and remains valid as a reference for life.
