Genetic Testing

Root Cause Clinical partners with Fagron to offer genetic testing for hair loss conditions.  Our trichologists have received specialist training and our clients have benefited from the knowledge of the reports to then provide a personalised treatment pathway.

Hair is considered an essential part of most people's identity and for many hair loss or irregular hair growth can have a significant impact on their psychological health.

Our genetic consultation includes the results of your genetic test and a genetic consultation report based on up to one hour of time with your trichologist.

Trichotest is pharmacogenetic test that determines whether a male or female subject having androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata or telegon effluvium is likely to be responsive to administration of specific hair loss treatments. In its current version, the test analyses 16 genetic variations in 13 genes used as biomarkers for predicting patient responses prior to therapy. Type and grade of alopecia, current medication pathologies, intolerance allergy, physiological and emotional stress are taken into consideration through a questionnaire. The Fagron Trichotest alogorithm combines genetic data with relevant client's anamnesis and possible contraindications to select the most appropriate vehicles and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
