Bye Bye Acne! Is This Test the Answer to Getting Rid of Acne?

We have spoken to an expert skincare Doctor who is offering a new solution to treating acne. Here's what Dr Raquel Amado, from Dr Raquel Skin and Medical Cosmetics says about this new treatment... 

Moving forward, before all skin assessments, Dr Raquel will be providing AcneTest, a pharmacogenetic approach to guide and personalise the treatment of acne.

AcneTest provides personalised Acne treatment recommendations to achieve optimal results, by combining genetic data with relevant patient anamnesis through an advanced algorithm. 

The results help dermatologists personalise acne therapies, considering predisposition to acne-related lesions and the response to pharmacological treatment. Additionally, this new testing will give Dr Raquel information about the possible triggers each individual may have like hormonal imbalances and sometimes even the clarification on further referral to a dermatologist if needed.

What does AcneTest analyse? 

AcneTest has the ability to assess 180 generic variations associated with 5 main categories of treatment options for acne:

• • Acne predisposition
  • Skin condition and inflammation
  • Nutritional approach
  • Pharmacogenetics
  • Hormonal approach
• Acne grading and several other clinical factors that influence treatment are considered through a comprehensive questionnaire
• Combines the analysis of 60 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with metabolic and biochemical mechanisms involved in the development of acne and its consequences as well as in the response to treatment
• Creates a detailed patient genetic report for each individual
