A leader in the hair restoration field, Dr. Epstein is now the first in the US to offer the newest most advanced development in the medical treatment of hair loss: TrichoTest™.

TrichoTest™ is a genetic test performed on a patient’s own DNA that analyzes 13 genes and 48 genetic variations related to alopecia, whether due to male/female pattern androgenic hair loss, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, or certain forms of scarring alopecia.

The result: a full report that can be used to provide recommended personalized formulations and medications. These treatments, which can include compounded topical solutions, oral supplements, medications, and hair care products, can then be used with greater confidence that they will be effective.

The test is a painless swab from the inside of the cheek that can be performed in the office or at home with virtual guidance. Through special arrangements by our office, results from the TrichoTest lab in Europe are in 4 weeks, permitting then the prescribing of customized therapies. To learn more, please email TrichoTest@fhrps.com, or call 305.666.1774.
