Each year, men spend millions of dollars on pharmaceuticals, topical products, and other costly treatments trying to prevent male pattern baldness,” says Dr. McGrath. “Some of this is done by men who may not go bald in the first place.” Dr. McGrath is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and provides his patients with FDA approved treatments for hair loss in men and women including Laser Hair Therapy, Propecia and Rogaine. He specializes in ultra-refined follicular unit hair transplantation, recognized as the “Gold-Standard”
HairDX.com, is a simple consumer-friendly test that provides an accurate and understandable genetic analysis of a man's likelihood of developing male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia). This simple and highly accurate test for male baldness costs $149. The patient swabs his mouth (inside cheek) for several seconds and returns the swab to Dr. McGrath who then submits the test to the HairDX lab. HairDX performs a confidential and anonymous genetic analysis of his genetic variations related to pattern baldness. The results are delivered back to the doctor via a secure and private Web site at www.hairdx.com.
Using results supported by several peer-reviewed scientific studies associating variations in the X chromosome to male baldness, the test enables users to learn about their genetic predisposition to balding before the age of 40. HairDX reports about a genetic variant found in more than 95% of bald men. People with this genetic variant are at 60% risk of going bald by the age of 40. HairDX also reports about a less common genetic variant of the same gene, that if present indicates a greater than 85% likelihood of not developing male baldness before the age of 40.
The information provided by HairDX enables the patient to make informed decisions about what approach, if any, he should take, including the use of approved medical treatments and hair restoration surgery for hair loss in men.
