Skin Rejuvenation & DNA Testing
Skin Care & DNA Testing
Good skin care is important at any age. The skin has strong collagen and elastin production in the first few decades of life but it decreases as we age. A good skincare routine helps regenerate skin cell production to keep the skin looking and feeling its best throughout your life.
If your DNA is what makes you unique, what would be better than to base your skincare regime, diet and lifestyle behaviours on your individual genetic needs?
Our DNA Skin Test report allows you to fully understand your skin and where it’s likely to be heading in the future, so you can plan for it. The results of the DNA Skin Test gives you the knowledge and power to target these internal skin concerns, in combination to the external factors contributing to skin imperfections and aging, allowing you to select the ideal skincare products and professional skin treatments to greatly improve your skin’s future.
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT OUR GALLERY OF TRANSFORMATIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.
WHY IS GOOD SKIN CARE IMPORTANT?
Good skin care is important for the following reasons:
- It helps your skin stay in good condition: You’re shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it’s important to keep your skin glowing and in good condition. An effective routine can help prevent and treat skin concerns such as acne, breakouts, lines & wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It will help keep your skin looking its best.
- Your skin will look more youthful: As you age, your skin’s cells turn over more slowly, making it look duller and less radiant. Using quality skin care products can help remove dead skin cells and treat your skin at a cellular level instead of just the top layer of your skin, so your body will replace the older damaged cells with newer, more youthful cells.
- Prevention is easier than correction: Preventing skin problems is easier and less costly than trying to fix them in the future.
- Your self-confidence will get a boost: When your skin looks better, you’ll feel better about yourself and have more self-confidence.
WHY INVEST IN GOOD QUALITY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS?
The following are some of the benefits of quality skin care products:
- Quality ingredients: Similar to the benefits that healthy food provides for your body, quality skin-care ingredients can improve your skin.
- Protection from environmental damage: such as pollution and harmful blue light from electronic devices.
- Help fighting the effects of aging: such as lines, wrinkles, dull skin and sunspots
- Results for the money: Even if quality products cost more in some cases, they’re worth the money. If you use ineffective products, you’re wasting money.
- Exceeding standards: Quality skin care products are more refined, with fewer bacteria and impurities. They have active ingredients that target specific concerns.
WHY SHOULD I AVOID POOR QUALITY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS?
Poor quality skin care products are more likely to cause the following negative effects:
- Ineffective results
- Infections
- Allergic reactions such as rashes
- Worsening problems by clogging pores, causing breakouts, etc.
WHY ANALYSE YOUR DNA?
We believe in a holistic approach to health care, and so consider all intrinsic and extrinsic contributing factors that attribute to your skin, diet, health and hormone imbalance risk factors.
Your health can be affected by a combination of factors including topical skin care, diet, supplements, exercise, lifestyle, environment and your genetic makeup. The only factor that cannot be changed is your DNA/genetics. Therefore, based on your unique genetic profile, we can recommend a practical and actionable approach to improving your skin care and overall vitality.
THE PROCESS IS EASY
Your DNA sample is collected by means of a non-invasive cheek swab, using a cotton bud. No needles and no discomfort.
Your DNA sample and completed consent form are delivered to the laboratory for gene variation analysis and your unique genetic skin reports are compiled. Based on your results, we can accurately recommend the correct, most effective skin care products for your skin that will produce amazing results.

Decoding A Healthy Lifestyle Just For You:
This DNA Health Test identifies your genetic tendency to certain health risks by identifying distinct genetic variations in your DNA. These variations may affect the expression or function of certain genes, making you more susceptible to certain health conditions or characteristics. Based on the variations detected, certain health characteristics may be a high priority area for you.
In this test we are able to identify which health characteristics are of potential concern for you. Based on these findings we can provide lifestyle, diet, supplement and test recommendations in a comprehensive report. These recommendations can be discussed with your medical professional to optimize your health in every aspect.
There are eight health risk categories that are considered:

Decoding Your Nutritional Therapy:
This DNA Diet Test identifies your genetic proneness to the metabolism of certain
macro- and micronutrients by investigating variations within genetic markers in your DNA.
The test is also able to identify your likely response to certain foods and nutrients. These detected variations may affect the expression or function of certain genes making the metabolism of certain nutrients more challenging.
In this report we provide you with a summary of the proposed macronutrient ratio for your optimal diet. This is determined by how your body intrinsically processes fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
The report also contains a summary on the proposed exercise intensity level that you should follow, and a brief description of exercise recommendations.
Lastly, the report also contains information on which micronutrients you may want to avoid, your potential satiety levels and feeding behaviour.
