You are never too young or too old to start planning for your skin’s future – the team at the Cosmetic Room have a solution designed with you in mind: SkinDNA® testing. This revolutionary diagnostic test will scientifically determine what will happen to your skin as you age, allowing you to target the potential problems to which you are genetically predisposed.

Never before has a skin care technique been so scientifically advanced and able to provide truly effective solutions to reduce the signs of aging and help you look your very best. This revolutionary skin care test will help you to plan a bespoke care program that does away with old, ‘one size fits all’ regimes. Even competent skin specialists who pride themselves on thorough consultations with their clients cannot provide the level of customised treatment that the SkinDNA® procedure can offer.

SkinDNA® is an innovative, non-invasive testing protocol developed by geneticists, skin scientists and cosmetic physicians. It delivers fully approved laboratory DNA tests and examines up to sixteen genetic markers in the five categories associated with the aging of the skin. We are one of the only clinics in the United Kingdom able to provide our clients with this pioneering technique.

DNA

Our genes are the building blocks of who we are, and who we will become – no matter how many beauty treatments you undergo, there are basic truths about your skin that are determined solely by your DNA.

The science of DNA is groundbreaking and revolutionary – even ten years ago we could not unlock the secrets of your genetic composition in the ways that we can now. Your genes consist of sequences of chemicals that are unique only to you, and SkinDNA testing can reveal the future that your skin has in store.

Why waste your time and money on expensive treatments that work for others, but may not work for you? Skin DNA testing truly helps you to uncover your skin care needs and prepare for a lifetime of glowing beauty.

SkinDNA® examines five notable categories of your skin’s cellular composition:

Firmness & Elasticity

The collagen in your skin provides plumpness, a smooth surface, and a youthful glow. Our SkinDNA® testing determines if you are genetically predisposed to variations at a cellular level that accelerate the speed of collagen loss, and if so then this can help us determine a skin care and supplement regime that is designed to mitigate this loss.

Wrinkling

One of the biggest concerns for both men and women is the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet and other wrinkles on the face. While environmental and behavioral factors influence wrinkling, so too does your genetic profile.

Sun Damage & Pigmentation

The sun’s harsh UV rays are the main cause of sun damage and pigmentation of the skin, but your genetic make-up is just as important. Your DNA determines the amount and speed at which the sun’s rays can and will damage your skin. Based on the results of your SkinDNA® test, we can help to build you an enhanced skin care strategy that has been designed with your unique cellular needs in mind.

Free Radical Damage

Believed to cause most disease and damage to your body, free radicals are causal factors that lead to most of our skin’s woes. Not everyone is genetically armed equally to fight free radicals, no matter how many antioxidant foods they consume. Your SkinDNA® profile will provide a clear picture of how, protected naturally, you are from free radical damage and where our skin care plans can fill in the gaps.

Sensitivity and Inflammation

Certain genes are known to instigate or accelerate inflammation of your body’s cells, often appearing as redness and/or sensitivity on the facial skin. Your genetic predisposition to inflammation can be determined by a SkinDNA® test.

Once the tests have been completed and the results analysed by our expert team, clients receive their DNA profile, which is then used to create scientifically a personalised guide. This guide provides you with a unique skin care regime designed according to your individual genetic make-up, guaranteed to make you look your best now – and in the future!

Your DNA will never change, and so there is no need to ever re-take this test. The results from a SkinDNA® test will be useful to you for the rest of your life, and can be applied to other aspects of your health and beauty.
