Fagron TrichoTest™ is a genetic test for hair loss that analyses gene variations and lifestyle factors so that personalised hair loss treatments can be accurately recommended.
Studies show there is a relationship between your genetic profile and how your hair loss responds to
different types of treatment.
This means not all hair loss treatments work for everybody and the success of any given treatment is dependent on your genetic profile and lifestyle factors.
Thanks to the unique analysis performed by Fagron TrichoTest™ we can identify which hair loss treatments are most likely to provide the best results for you.
Fagron TrichoTest™ is indicated to be used by:
- Everyone who wants to understand how their genetics affect alopecia treatment.
- Patients with family history of alopecia.
- Men and women who have tried different treatments with few or no success.
Types of alopecia analyzed:
- Androgenetic alopecia
- Alopecia areata
- Telogen effluvium
The Fagron TrichoTest™ 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
Once you have received your test results back, you will be given a personalised treatment plan which could include suggestions of:
- Minoxidil – Otherwise known as Regaine
- Sillicumax – Collagen Supplements
- Treatments to stimulate collagen
- Caffeine or Ginkgo – Found in caffeine shampoos
- Biotin – Otherwise known as Viviscal
Hair loss is a difficult condition to diagnose with many factors often contributing to its development. It is common for hair loss to be caused by genetic factors but other lifestyle factors such as diet can also attribute to this.
Being able to detect the early signs of hair loss is important to be able to maintain and protect the existing hair follicles. Creating a personalised treatment plan is going to help give you the best results by choosing the best and most effective treatments.
The study showed that patients in the study population with a combination of two specific genes had more than 80% chance of serious complications from filler treatments. Medical complications that can occur include chronic and/or localized inflammation that may require months or years of medical treatment and can cause lifelong symptoms.
What does TrichoTest™ analyse?
26 genetic variations
associated with 9 categories
- Prostaglandins and sulphotransferase
- Anti-inflammatories drugs
- Anti-androgens
- Stimulation of circulation
- Collagen synthesis
- Insulin-like growth factor
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Antioxidants
Combines the analysis of 26 polymorphisms
associated with metabolic pathways predicting treatment responses with relevant patient’s anamnesis intolerances, hypersensitivity, diseases, medication, and blood pressure, among others.
The analysis of genetic factors and the patient’s anamnesis (medication, pathologies, emotional state, physical activity, habits and family history) provides the necessary information for fully personalized treatment.

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.
