Hair loss can be frustrating, especially when it’s unclear what’s causing it or which treatments will work. ALO hair loss genetics testing offers a more precise solution by using your DNA to guide personalized treatment.
What Is ALO Genetics Testing?
ALO (androgenetic alopecia) testing analyzes genetic markers linked to hair loss, particularly how your hair follicles respond to DHT, a hormone that contributes to thinning. Unlike traditional evaluations, this test provides deeper insight into your genetic risk and helps guide targeted treatment.
How Genetic Hair Loss Happens
Androgenetic alopecia (the most common type of hair loss) occurs when hair follicles are sensitive to DHT. Over time, this leads to thinner hair, slower growth, and eventual follicle shrinkage.
