Genetic DNA analysis
Hair loss is influenced by many factors, including genetics, hormones, inflammation, nutrient metabolism, and individual responses to treatment. While many treatment plans are based on general protocols, advances in genetic analysis now allow treatment recommendations to be tailored to the individual.
At Dr Graft Hair Transplant Institute, we offer advanced genetic hair analysis as part of selected hair restoration assessments. Using a simple cheek swab, this test evaluates genetic markers associated with hair loss and the body’s response to commonly used medical therapies.
Arrange Your Free Consultation
A consultation provides time to discuss your hair loss concerns, assess suitability, and understand which treatment options may be appropriate based on individual circumstances.
There is no obligation to proceed with treatment.
Why is this important?
Not all patients respond to hair loss treatments in the same way. Two individuals with similar patterns of hair loss may experience very different outcomes with the same medication or treatment approach. Genetic analysis provides additional information that may help guide treatment selection and long-term planning.
Not sure which treatment is right for you?
A medical consultation allows assessment of hair loss type, donor hair availability, and long‑term planning before any treatment is considered.
What information can it provide?
The assessment may offer insights into:
- Genetic predisposition to androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss)
- Individual sensitivity to hormones involved in hair loss
- Potential response to commonly prescribed hair restoration medications
- Genetic factors associated with inflammation and scalp health
- Nutritional and metabolic pathways that may influence hair growth
- Personalised treatment considerations for long-term hair preservation
A More Individualised Approach
Hair restoration is not simply about replacing lost hair—it is about preserving existing hair and developing a strategy that is appropriate for each patient’s circumstances. Genetic analysis can provide an additional layer of information that supports a more personalised treatment plan.

A Unique Feature of Our Assessment Process
Effective hair restoration begins with understanding the individual behind the hair loss. By combining clinical assessment, scalp examination, medical history, and genetic insights, we aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of each patient’s hair loss journey and potential treatment options.
Genetic testing is not a diagnostic tool and does not predict future outcomes with certainty. Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and used as one component of a personalised treatment discussion.
