Did you know that 81% of Acne disorders come from Genetic influence?
AcneTest is a pharmacogenomics-centered test intended to guide and personalize the treatment of acne by combining genetic data with relevant patient anamnesis through an advanced algorithm. The results help dermatologists personalize acne treatment and prevent permanent scarring and hyperpigmentation.
- AcneTest analyzes 180 genetic variants on predisposition to acne-related lesions and the response to pharmacological treatment.
- Recommends the most appropriate formulas to prescribe the best treatment to achieve optimal results.
- Sebum production
- Pigmentation
- Inflammation
- Hormone conversion
- Scar tissue formation
- Metabolic rate
- Response to treatment drugs
- Response to nutritional approach
The Fagron AcneTest™ results are shared only with the prescriber through the Fagron Genomics login platform. The report can be used to select the most suitable treatment option for the patient, fully personalized to their needs. The report includes:
- A summary of patient characteristics
- Full genetic analysis and explanation
- Suggested personalized formulations
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.
Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.
Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.
What does AcneTest analyse?
180 genetic variations
associated with 5 main categories of treatment options for acne
- Acne predisposition
- Skin condition and inflammation
- Nutritional approach
- Pharmacogenetics
- Hormonal approach
Combines the analysis of 60 single nucleotide polymorphisms
associated with metabolic and biochemical mechanisms involved in the development of acne and its consequences as well as in the response to treatment
Allows understanding patient’s predisposition to acne, the severity of the acne presentation, and the predisposition to other factors, such as nutritional and hormonal, that might influence acne pathogenesis, as well as aids in modulating the dose of drugs used in the treatment. The information yielded allows for beginning proper treatment at an early time, thus reducing the risk of further consequences.
DNA TEST FOR ACNE TREATMENT - FAGRON GENOMICS - RESULTS
HOW IT WORKS
Do not eat, drink, use mouth fresheners, smoke, or chew gum for at least 30 minutes before the test.
The test is carried out by a doctor in a associated clinic. You can buy the test in the clinic or online in this online store.
A doctor will take a swab from the inside of your mouth to obtain a sample of your DNA. You will also be asked to complete a simple questionnaire to determine a number of lifestyle factors including age, height, weight and any medical conditions you may have.
This will be sent to Fagron laboratory where our specially trained technicians will analyze a total of 48 genetic variations from your DNA sample.
Detecting DNA variations, known as SNPs, facilitates our understanding of the specific characteristics of your metabolism.
All SNPs tested by Fagron have been scientifically validated by global research.
Within 14 days your advisor will receive a report containing the results of your test. This will indicate which elements from your genetic coding and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to
