Genomic Swab Testing

Genomic Swab Testing & Personalized Prescription Topical

At the forefront of modern hair restoration is the power of personalized medicine, and with our Genomic Swab Testing Kit we now can offer a breakthrough approach in understanding and treating hair loss. By analyzing your genetic makeup, we can determine which medications and ingredients are most effective—and safe—for you. This process allows us to formulate a truly custom topical prescription that supports optimal hair regrowth and scalp health.

What is Genomic Swab Testing?

The Genomic Swab Test is a simple, non-invasive cheek swab that unlocks deep insights into how your body responds to hair loss treatments. The test is quick—just 30 seconds on each cheek—and is done in-office under our guidance.

Once collected, the sample is sent to a state-of-the-art lab that specializes in pharmacogenomic analysis, which is the study of how your genes affect your body’s response to medications. The lab identifies genetic markers and variations that influence how you metabolize certain compounds, how sensitive you may be to side effects, and which active ingredients are likely to be the most beneficial for your specific biology.

What Happens After Testing?

  1. Sample Sent to Lab: Your DNA is analyzed to identify specific genetic traits tied to hair growth and treatment response.
  2. Pharmaceutical Recommendation: Based on your genetic makeup, the pharmacy creates an ideal formulation with specific ingredients best suited for your profile.
  3. Physician Approval: Your provider reviews and approves the prescription.
  4. Custom Topical Created & Shipped: The tailored topical is compounded and shipped directly to you for at-home use.

The Science Behind Personalized Prescription Topicals

Each person’s hair loss story is unique. While some respond well to minoxidil or finasteride, others may see little benefit or experience side effects. That’s where personalized medicine comes in. Using the results of your genetic test, we’re able to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach and instead formulate a prescription topical that is:

  • Safe: Avoiding ingredients your body may poorly metabolize or that could trigger side effects.
  • Effective: Featuring active ingredients scientifically matched to your genetic responsiveness.
  • Targeted: Designed to stimulate follicle activity, reduce shedding, and improve scalp health.

This level of personalization is not available through over-the-counter products or standard prescriptions.
