Hair Loss DNA Test in Cape Town | Personalised Hair Analysis

HAIR DNA ANALYSIS

ANSWERS, NOT GUESSWORK.

WHAT IS IT?

A one-time genetic test that analyses 48 genetic markers linked to hair loss and treatment response. Using a simple cheek swab, performed at the practice, this test examines how your body metabolises and responds to commonly prescribed treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and other active ingredients, as well as factors like inflammation, circulation, vitamin deficiencies, and hormonal sensitivity.

WHY IT WORKS?

Hair loss is complex and influenced by genetics. Instead of relying on trial-and-error, TrichoTest identifies the most effective treatment pathways for your unique biology. This helps us build a precision treatment plan that saves time, avoids unnecessary medications, and increases your chances of success.

BEST FOR:

Men considering or already using medication for hair loss
Those frustrated with generic, “one-size-fits-all” approaches
Clients committed to long-term hair management and wanting data-driven recommendations

INCLUDES:

Full genetic analysis and personalised treatment report
A doctor consultation once your results are ready, to review your report in detail and create a tailored treatment plan.

TURNAROUND TIME: 6–8 weeks for full analysis and personalised treatment report.

PRICE: R4500

IS THIS JUST A RECOMMENDATION FOR PRODUCTS?

No. The purpose of the test is to avoid trial-and-error. It may show that certain medications, supplements, or treatments are unlikely to benefit you, helping you avoid unnecessary costs and focus only on what suits your biology.

IS MY GENETIC INFORMATION KEPT PRIVATE?

Yes. The sample is analysed only for your personalised report through a certified laboratory. Your genetic data is not shared or used outside of your clinical assessment.

CAN IT TELL WHICH TREATMENTS WILL ACTUALLY WORK FOR ME?

It helps us predict how your body is likely to respond to common hair-loss approaches such as DHT-blocking treatments, PRP/exosomes, topical support, and nutritional strategies. We then tailor a plan based on your biology rather than a standard protocol.

I ALREADY HAVE THINNING HAIR – IS THE TEST STILL USEFUL?

Yes. The DNA test doesn’t measure how much hair you have left; it explains why the loss is happening and how your body responds to treatment. It helps us choose the most appropriate approach – for example whether to focus on blocking DHT sensitivity, improving scalp support, or using regenerative treatments – so we can slow progression and support the hair that remains as effectively as possible.

WILL I NEED TO TAKE MEDICATION?

Not necessarily. The results help determine whether medication is appropriate, optional, or unlikely to help. For some men, non-medication approaches are suitable, while others benefit from targeted medical support – the test helps guide that decision.
