Breaking Down Acne: Genetic Testing�

Have you ever wondered why, despite trying every skincare routine out there, acne still finds its way back to you? Well, it turns out, the answer might lie deep within our DNA, not just on the surface of our skin.

Acne isn’t just about the foods we eat or the stress we feel; it’s also about how our bodies react to these factors on a genetic level. Yes, you heard that right! Our genes play a huge role in determining how our skin behaves, making some of us more prone to acne than others.

It is super simple and quick to do, all it takes is a simple swab on the inside of the cheek and you’re good to go. We then send the test to the lab and wait for the results.

With this in depth info we can put a bespoke treatment plan together, specifically for you and your genetic needs, so no more guessing games…!

This cutting-edge test dives deep into your DNA to find out what treatments will work best for your skin, making the journey to clear skin faster and more effective.The AcneTest represents a pioneering advancement in the personalised treatment of acne, designed to analyse an individual’s genetic predispositions towards acne and how they might respond to different treatments. This innovative approach involves collecting a DNA sample from the patient, which is then analysed to identify genetic variants that affect factors such as sebum production, inflammation, and scar formation. The result is a personalised report that offers tailored treatment recommendations, enabling healthcare professionals to devise more effective and individualised treatment plans for their patients.
