The Skinsmith Clinic incorporates DNA testing into patient treatment plans in order to ensure an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of a skin condition. This allows the Skinsmith Clinic to provide patients with customised solutions that offer effective and long-lasting results.

Why DNA Testing?

Conventional skincare methods treat the symptoms of a skin condition but don’t always identify or treat the underlying cause of the condition. This results in the individual constantly trying out new treatment methods in order to combat the recurring symptoms. This can be extremely frustrating and disheartening when a treatment isn’t found to be effective.

At the Skinsmith Clinic, a patient’s genetic predisposition towards dry or flaky skin, sun damage, wrinkles, scarring, blemishes, sun sensitivity, certain skin cancers and hair loss can all be identified through DNA testing.

Once the underlying cause has been identified, the highly skilled clinicians at The Skinsmith Clinic will develop a customised treatment and prevention plan for the individual patient.
