Skin Health Genetic DNA Test - Mouth Swab
Skin Health Genetic DNA Test - Mouth Swab
The Skin Health Genetic Report Add-On is exclusively available to individuals who have already completed the Ultimate Methylation DNA Test. This advanced report analyses gene variants involved in skin structure, detoxification, oxidative stress, glycation, and inflammatory response, offering targeted insights for managing concerns such as premature ageing, pigmentation, acne, and skin sensitivity.
✅ Evaluates genetic predisposition to collagen breakdown, inflammation & glycation
✅ Supports DNA-based interventions for ageing, pigmentation & skin health
✅ Receive personalised dietary, supplement and lifestyle recommendations from our expert team.
ONLY AVAILABLE AS AN ADD ON TO THE ULTIMATE METHYLATION TEST
This test helps determine how genes can influence the skin's ability to combat signs of aging, as well as markers that affect eating habits and how the body metabolises nutrients that support skin health.
This test is ideal for patients looking to find out what supplements they should be taking and what foods / nutrients they require to optimise their skin health.
This test can be ordered at the same time as the Ultimate DNA test or it can be ordered within 3 months of your Ultimate methylation test results date.
The DNA used to produce the SKIN report is from your original Ultimate cheek swab - no additional swab kit is dispatched.

Our test is more than skin deep. As the first line of defense into your body, your skin’s health is just as important as the rest of your body.

Q. What genetic markers are tested?
Facial Pigmented Spots – How high is your risk of developing these as you age?
Antioxidant Capacity – Find out if your skin’s antioxidant capacity may be diminished
Loss of Elasticity – Are you at a higher risk of premature loss of skin elasticity?
Advanced Glycation End Products – Is your skin more susceptible to glycation damage? Work with your genes to manage fine lines, wrinkles and saggy skin
Sugar Preference – Are you at an increased risk of over-consuming sugar? How does sugar damage your skin?
Vitamin A – Could a deficiency be triggering skin issues?
Vitamin C – Do you have a risk of deficiency that could affect your skin?
Vitamin D – Are you at increased risk for low circulating levels and therefore poor skin tone?
Vitamin E – Should you increase vitamin E consumption for better skin health?
Zinc – Immune system low? Perhaps you require additional zinc in your diet/supplement regime to support skin health.
Q. When do I receive my results?
Results will be sent to you as a lab PDF. The same cheek swab is used for both the Ultimate and the SKIN report. If you ordered both tests at the same time then results will be ready at the same time (approx 3 weeks from sample being received back at the labs). If you ordered this test within 3 months of your original Ultimate test then the additional SKIN DNA PDF will be ready in approximately 1 week.
Q. What is the printed report option?
If you select to order a printed SKIN DNA report in addition to the PDF then you will receive a personalised A4 size, glossy, colour printed brochure, posted to you approximately 2 weeks after your PDF is sent to you.
Q. I currently have a cold / am taking certain medications – will this affect my results?
No. As we're testing the genetic code, which is fixed, the test is not impacted by illness, infections, medication, the food you eat, or supplements you take.
