DNA Beauty Profile

A one-time genetic look at how your body handles collagen, pigmentation and ageing.

from $290

What this test is

Your DNA doesn't change, so this is a once-only test rather than something to repeat. It looks at genetic variants linked to collagen breakdown, pigmentation sensitivity and antioxidant handling, giving your provider a lifetime baseline to plan your skin protocol around.

Is this test for you?

  • You're building a long-term skin plan and want to plan around your biology, not guess
  • You want to know your genetic risk factors before investing in treatment
  • You've already done blood-based skin panels and want the genetic layer too

What we test

MMP1 variant

Linked to how quickly your body naturally breaks down collagen.

MC1R variant

Linked to pigmentation and how sensitive your skin is to sun exposure.

SOD2 variant

Linked to your body's natural antioxidant defence against skin ageing.

COL1A1 variant

Linked to the structural quality of your skin's collagen.

How you take this test

Choose whichever fits your schedule. Either way, your sample goes to the same accredited lab and is read by a clinician against optimal (not just "normal") ranges.

At home Convenient

A simple cheek swab kit is mailed to you. Swab the inside of your cheek for about 30 seconds, seal it, and post it back in the prepaid envelope. No blood, no fasting.

Results in 7–10 business days

In clinic Assisted

The same cheek swab, taken by a member of staff during a short visit to a partner clinic near you, if you would rather not do it yourself.

Results in 7–10 business days

After your results

A clinician reads every marker against your age, symptoms and goals, then writes a plain-language report with a protocol you can act on. If treatment is recommended, your results travel with you to a certified Aesthetics BioCare provider, so nothing needs re-explaining.
