How the TrichoTest works
Order the kit, delivered discreetly to your UK address
Take a simple cheek swab at home (takes 2 minutes, no blood)
Return your sample in the prepaid envelope
Fagron's laboratory analyses your DNA (typically 2 to 3 weeks after receipt)
We review your report and provide a clear next-step plan
If prescription treatment is appropriate, a UK prescriber arranges it and dispenses through a GPhC registered UK partner pharmacy
What the report tells you
The TrichoTest analyses 26 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across 9 pathway categories relevant to hair loss:
Prostaglandin and sulphotransferase (relevant to minoxidil response)
Anti-androgens (finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone response)
Anti-inflammatory response
Circulation stimulation
Collagen synthesis
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
Vitamin absorption
Mineral absorption
Antioxidant needs
Your report includes a drug efficacy panel with colour-coded predicted response levels, a personalised treatment plan drawn from 62 active ingredients across 11 delivery vehicles, and pharmacogenetic guidance on both prescription treatments and supplements.
Treatments the TrichoTest evaluates response to
Finasteride (oral or topical)
Dutasteride (oral or topical)
Minoxidil (topical or oral)
Spironolactone (topical, primarily female pattern loss)
Latanoprost and 17-α estradiol (specialist topical options)
Cetirizine and triamcinolone (inflammatory-driven hair loss)
Who the TrichoTest is for
Most useful for anyone who wants clarity before starting hair loss treatment, has plateaued on standard options, or has tried treatments with mixed results. Also useful if you want to know whether an oral or topical route is likely to suit you better based on your genetics.
Not a diagnosis tool. Genetic testing predicts likely treatment response, it does not diagnose the cause of your hair loss on its own.
Turnaround time
Kit dispatched next working day. Once your sample arrives at Fagron's laboratory, analysis takes typically 2 to 3 weeks. We contact you as soon as your report is ready.
Important information
The TrichoTest is an in vitro diagnostic device. It does not diagnose hair loss or any disease on its own. Results are reviewed by our clinical team to guide a personalised plan. Where prescription treatment is appropriate, prescriptions are issued by a UK prescriber and dispensed by a GPhC registered UK partner pharmacy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Fagron TrichoTest?+
The Fagron TrichoTest is a genetic test for hair loss. It analyses 26 SNPs across 9 pathway categories from a simple cheek swab, and produces a personalised report showing how you are likely to respond to common hair loss treatments (finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, spironolactone and others).
How does the test work?+
You take a cheek swab at home, return it in the prepaid envelope, and Fagron's laboratory analyses your DNA. Results typically take 2 to 3 weeks after the lab receives your sample. We then review the report and provide a clear treatment plan.
What treatments does the TrichoTest evaluate?+
The test evaluates predicted response to finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, spironolactone, latanoprost, 17-α estradiol, cetirizine and triamcinolone. It also gives pharmacogenetic guidance on vitamins, minerals and other supplements relevant to hair growth.
What do I receive for £240?+
The official Fagron TrichoTest kit, lab processing, a clinical review of your results by our team, and direct access to any prescription or compounded treatments recommended by the report. There are no separate review or interpretation fees.
How long do results take?+
Kit dispatched next working day. Analysis takes typically 2 to 3 weeks from the lab receiving your sample. We contact you as soon as the report is ready.
Is this the same test other clinics sell for more?+
Yes. It is the exact official Fagron TrichoTest. We charge £240 all-in including the clinical review and prescription follow-through, so there are no separate review or interpretation fees to add on afterwards.
Do I need this test before starting treatment?+
No. Standard first-line hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil) work for most people without any genetic testing. The TrichoTest is most useful if you have plateaued on standard treatment, want clarity before choosing between options, or have had mixed results with previous treatments.
Can the TrichoTest diagnose my hair loss?+
No. The TrichoTest is a treatment-response test, not a diagnostic. It predicts how you are likely to respond to specific hair loss medications based on your genetics. Diagnosing the cause of your hair loss requires clinical assessment (scalp examination, blood tests where relevant).
Can I return this item?+
Prescription and custom-compounded medicines cannot be returned once dispensed under UK pharmacy regulations. Non-prescription items may be returned within 14 days if unused and in their original packaging. See our returns policy at hairrepairclinic.co.uk/returns-policy for full details.
