TrichoTest DNA Test

​​Benefits of the TrichoTest

1. Empowerment

Knowledge is power.  Knowing which hair loss medications you are genetically predetermined to respond to gives you the best chance of getting it right.  Why struggle through trial and error when there's an easier, faster way? 

2. Keep More Hair

Most hair loss conditions are progressive which means that the more time passes, the more hair you will loose.  When a hair follicle is completely gone, it's gone. The sooner you find the most effective treatments to fight your hair loss, the more hair you will keep.

3. Save Money

Avoid wasting money on treatments that may never help.  Many hair loss treatments need to be used daily for 6 months before you really know if they're going to work for you.

4. Save Time

Most medications need to be applied daily and can take months to show results.  Some will not give results at all.  Why waste your valuable time on guesswork?
