If you’ve taken the TrichoTest DNA hair loss test, you’re already one step ahead in understanding how your genetics influence hair thinning and treatment response. But what comes next?
This guide outlines the most effective, science-backed treatments you can consider after receiving your TrichoTest results — each one customisable based on your unique genetic profile.
1. Personalised Topical Minoxidil Blends
Minoxidil is one of the most commonly recommended treatments for androgenetic alopecia. However, TrichoTest can tell you whether you’re genetically likely to respond well to it — and at what strength.
At Compounding Chemist, we formulate bespoke topical minoxidil treatments tailored to your results. Options include:
- Minoxidil with tretinoin (to improve absorption)
- Minoxidil with caffeine or finasteride
- Alcohol-free or low-irritant base formulations
2. Topical or Oral Finasteride (DHT Blockers)
If your TrichoTest results show a sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), then using a DHT-blocker may be crucial. Finasteride, whether used topically or orally, reduces DHT levels and slows hair follicle shrinkage.
We offer compounded options that combine finasteride with minoxidil in a topical formula — ideal for patients who want to avoid systemic side effects.
3. Spironolactone, Melatonin, or Other Add-Ons
Depending on your genetic profile and gender, other active ingredients may be recommended post-TrichoTest, such as:
- Spironolactone: Anti-androgen used topically in female patients
- Melatonin: Antioxidant that may promote hair growth in some individuals
- Caffeine, azelaic acid, or zinc: To reduce inflammation or further block DHT
All of these can be blended into your topical solution by our compounding pharmacy — completely tailored to your report.
4. Lifestyle Adjustments and Nutraceuticals
Your TrichoTest may also highlight gene variations linked to poor response to oxidative stress or vitamin deficiencies. Addressing these with supplements or lifestyle adjustments can further support your treatment outcomes.
5. Next Steps: Consultation and Custom Formulation
If you haven’t yet spoken to a clinician about your TrichoTest results, we recommend booking a review. Our prescribers can interpret your DNA report and suggest the best possible combination of actives for your personalised formula.
