What is HALO DNA testing?

Take the Guesswork Out of Finding the Hair-Loss Treatment Meant for Your Body

Hair-loss treatments are not one-size-fits-all. A product or treatment that works well for one person may produce limited results for someone else because each body processes nutrients, manages inflammation and responds to certain therapies differently.

The HALO DNA Test is a personalized genetic test designed to provide insight into how your body is genetically wired to support hair growth and scalp health. Using a simple, noninvasive cheek swab, the test analyzes genetic markers related to nutrient utilization, circulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, collagen production, cellular repair and potential responses to certain hair-loss therapies.

Your results help us move beyond trial and error and create a more personalized, science-informed roadmap based on your unique genetic profile.

What Can the HALO DNA Test Reveal?

Your results may provide insight into:

• Genetic factors that may contribute to thinning or increased shedding

• Why previous treatments may not have worked as expected

• How your body processes important nutrients that support healthy hair

• Genetic tendencies related to inflammation and oxidative stress

• Factors that may affect circulation, collagen production and cellular repair

• How your genetics may influence your response to certain hair-loss therapies

• Which options may be worth discussing with your dermatologist or prescribing provider

Based on your results, recommendations may include targeted nutritional support, personalized scalp care, light or laser therapy, professional in-clinic treatments and prescription options to discuss with a licensed medical provider.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

The HALO DNA Test may be especially helpful if you:

• Are experiencing gradual thinning, increased shedding, a widening part or a receding hairline

• Have a family history of pattern hair loss and want to take a proactive approach

• Have tried multiple products, supplements or treatments with limited or inconsistent results

• Feel overwhelmed by the number of available hair-loss options

• Want to understand how your body may process nutrients associated with healthy hair

• Want greater insight into genetic factors related to inflammation, circulation, collagen production and oxidative stress

• Are considering professional treatments, light or laser therapy, targeted supplements or prescription options

• Want a more focused, long-term plan instead of continuing through trial and error

HALO may be particularly valuable when several factors could be contributing to hair loss or when previous approaches have not produced the expected results.

One Test, a Long-Term Roadmap

Because your DNA does not change, HALO is generally a one-time test. Your results can continue to serve as a reference as your needs, health history and treatment plan evolve.

However, DNA testing does not diagnose the cause of hair loss, measure current nutrient or hormone levels, or guarantee that a particular treatment will work. It is most valuable when combined with your health history, scalp analysis, hair-loss pattern, laboratory testing and medical evaluation when appropriate.

Sudden or patchy hair loss, scalp pain, burning, sores, significant inflammation or rapidly progressing hair loss should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Bloodwork may also be needed when thyroid concerns, hormonal changes, anemia or current nutrient deficiencies are suspected.

The HALO DNA Test provides another valuable piece of the puzzle, helping us create a hair and scalp plan informed by your biology rather than guesswork.
