Genetic Hair Loss Detection

October 10th, 2009

With age comes wisdom, so the old expression goes, but regrettably with age also comes hair loss. The scientific term for hair loss is alopecia, and for years scientists have been attempting to find out why normal, healthy individuals sometimes lose their hair in specific areas or patterns. At Present, a innovative genetic test has been produced to define the risk of hair loss or thinning in those who have not yet experienced the warning signals of alopecia. This genetic test is called HairDX, and it’s changing the way men and women deal with hair loss.

Currently the only FDA authorised treatments for hair loss are successful in clinical trials at persevering existing hair rather than re-growing new hair. Based on your HairDX results, you can easily preserve your existing hair rather than anticipating for the first signals of hair loss, then hastily trying to re-grow hair at a smaller success rate.

Available only at Advanced Hair Studio, HairDX can give at-risk patients for hair loss a head start at preserving their existing hair. The HairDX test is simple and is perfect for men and women at least 18 years of age. A trained professional at Advanced Hair Studio simply collects a genetic information sample from the inside of the patients cheek via a swab. The results are analyzed and returned to the doctor in a secure, private manor.

Results from HairDX are invaluable to those who are worried about losing their hair. Test results indicate whether or not your genes show a specific variation in the androgen receptor gene (AR), which is the cause for alopecia. Test results are clear and easy to understand: Men who test positive for the variant AR gene have an approximately 70% chance of developing Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHR). Conversely, men who test negative for the variant AR gene have approximately a 70% chance of not developing MPHR. Test results are determined differently for women.

A professional at Advanced Hair Studio will be able to provide you with next step solutions based on your individual test results.
