Biohacking / DNA Testing

At Face Medical, we’re delving further into enhancing your well-being with biohacking and DNA testing through the help of our sister site, The BioHacking Clinic. This cutting-edge approach combines the power of genomics with personalised wellness to help you optimise your health and achieve your full potential. DNA testing allows us to analyse your genetic makeup, providing valuable insights into how your body functions at a cellular level. By understanding your unique genetic code, we can identify predispositions to certain health conditions, nutritional needs, and even how your body responds to exercise or ageing. Armed with this information, we can create a fully customised plan to improve your health, longevity, and performance. Whether your goal is to improve physical fitness and performance, reduce hair loss, improve skin health, stabilise your weight, enhance the nutritional value of your diet, or slow the ageing process, biohacking through DNA testing offers a truly personalised approach. Unlock the secrets of your genetics and take control of your wellness journey with Face Medical and The BioHacking Clinic.

The following test kits are available at The BioHacking Clinic:

  1. BIO-Hair DNA Test – Analyses genetic factors influencing hair growth and health.

  3. BIO-Sports DNA Test – Examines genes related to fitness, endurance, and athletic performance.
  4. BIO-Telomere DNA Test – Measures biological ageing through telomere length and cell health.
  5. BIO-Nutrition DNA Test – Evaluates genetic response to diet and nutrient absorption for personalised plans.

Kick-starting your DNA testing journey with The BioHacking Clinic is simple and convenient. To begin, all you need to do is send an email requesting a test kit. Once you reach out, the team will promptly email you a comprehensive patient questionnaire and a digital consent form, which can be filled out and submitted online, streamlining the entire process.

After completing the forms, we’ll send the DNA test kit directly to your home via post, so you can provide a sample at your convenience.

Taking The Test

Taking the DNA test is a straightforward process – simply follow the instructions included in the kit which contains everything you need for a smooth and easy sample collection.

Inside the kit, you’ll find a sterile swab tube, patient consent form, detailed instructions, 2 x lD-labels, and a biohazard bag.

To take the test, start by thoroughly washing your hands. Open the sterile swab and gently rub it along the inside of each cheek, thoroughly, to collect saliva. Make sure to follow the instructions to ensure a proper sample. Once done, carefully place the swab into the provided container to preserve it for analysis. One of the ID stickers (bar coded) will then need to be placed length-ways on the closed swab tube.

After collecting your sample, package it using the pre-paid return envelope, along with one of the signed consent forms. Simply drop it off at your nearest post office, or arrange for postal collection (instructions provided with the kit), and your sample will be sent back to the lab for analysis. Additional forms will need to be kept in a safe place for reference, in case you need to contact The BioHacking Clinic.

Receiving The Results

Following your sample’s analysis, the results are interpreted and a detailed report will be emailed to you. This will contain analysis that highlights how your genes influence various aspects of your health, including skin ageing, hair growth, fitness potential, and nutrition. Our teams may then recommend personalised treatments and lifestyle changes that align with your genetic profile. For example, based on your results, you may be advised on specific skincare treatments, supplements, or exercise routines that suit your unique needs. You might also receive guidance on dietary adjustments to enhance nutrient absorption or suggestions for anti-aging treatments based on your telomere length.

If you’ve taken the Nutrition, Sports, or Telomere tests, you have the option to consult with an industry professional for expert interpretation of your results. During this 1 hour Zoom consultation, they will create a personalised action plan tailored to optimise your health, fitness, or longevity goals. This customised approach ensures that every recommendation is targeted to your genetic potential, helping you make informed choices to improve your overall well-being.

As Face Medical works in unison with The BioHacking Clinic, in-office treatments are also an option.
