Bosley HairDX Genetic Test

There is now a genetic test available, which predicts and allows men to better understand their risk for male pattern hair loss.  The test also isolates potential causes for certain types of hair loss in women.

The HairDX genetic test is conducted in a local Bosley Medical office by a Bosley physician or clinical staff member.  The test involves swabbing the inside of the cheek for several seconds.  The swab is then sent to the HairDX lab where the genetic analysis is performed.

Bosley has over 70 locations throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.  To find the location most convenient for you, use the Bosley Office Locator or call 1-800-985-6405.

A CAG score is provided to women who take the HairDX test.  The CAG score helps analyze the risk of developing female pattern hair loss.  The higher the CAG score, the lower the occurrence and risk of female pattern hair loss.  Smaller CAG scores indicate a greater chance of significant hair loss.  For women, the Ludwig scale is used to illustrate degrees of hair loss.

In men, the HairDX test identifies the presence or absence of an androgenic receptor gene.  The presence of this gene indicates a 60% chance of going bald by the age of 40.  The absence of the gene results in an 85% chance of not going bald by the age of 40.

This genetic test is for those who have not yet lost their hair as it effectively predicts the risk of hair loss in women and men.  The results from the test can empower you to explore hair loss solutions and to better manage your hair loss before it becomes too advanced.

The Bosley LaserComb is the latest FDA approved or accepted treatment for hair loss.  It’s also the only medical device and drug-free option for treating hair loss in its earliest stages or as part of a complete treatment plan designed by you and your Bosley physician.
