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
An at-home finger-prick micro-sample kit is mailed to you. Follow the step-by-step guide, collect a few drops of blood, and post it back in the prepaid envelope.
Results and your clinician report in 3–5 business days
In clinic Assisted
A standard venous blood draw taken by a phlebotomist at a partner clinic near you — no different from a routine blood test at a doctor's office.
Results and your clinician report in 3–5 business days
Before you test: This panel must be taken fasted (nothing to eat for 8–10 hours beforehand, water is fine) because of the glucose and insulin markers.
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.
