My Beauty DNA

Biologique Recherche, a pioneer in skin diagnosis within the field of professional esthetic services, now offers a new diagnostic tool  My Beauty DNA.

Similar in concept to the popular Ancestry.com or 23andMe.com DNA kits, My Beauty DNA brings the science of DNA to custom skincare analysis and treatment. 

The My Beauty DNA Kit will analyze 14 skin characteristics that are studied and split into 4 main families. Tests results and genetic expertise will be provided for bespoke in spa facial treatments and product recommendations in each of the following categories:

Skin and Aging: Collagen breakdown, skin glycation phenomenon
Skin and the Environment: Sensitivity, pollution defense impairment and skin inflammation
Skin and the Sun: Sensitivity to the sun, pigmentation and photoaging
Skin Profile: Skin stretch marks, skin rosacea, protection from skin cellulite, hyper-seborrhea, dehydration and skin antioxidant deficiencies

A characteristic, or phenotypic trait, describes a distinct characteristic that is visible or measurable, such as a person’s hair color or height. Other types of characteristics are not immediately visible. They correspond to probabilities/risks that specific characteristics will reveal themselves in the future, as a consequence of genetics, the external environment and aging. Based on the criteria, the report will indicate your predisposition in two ways: your positive genes and your risky genes.

YOUR POSITIVE GENES: A “good” trait refers to aspects that positively affect our appearance, skin, wellness and health. For example, individuals with certain variations are less likely to have cellulite than other comparable individuals in terms of body weight, diet and exercise. Typical, Moderately Advantaged, Advantaged

YOUR RISKY GENES: A “risky” trait refers to aspects that may negatively affect our appearance, skin, wellness and health. For example, some people have genetic variations that result in increased activity of the enzymes that break down collagen. Hence, these people have a higher risk of earlier collagen loss and wrinkle formation. This test will determine your level: Low risk, Slightly Elevated, Elevated
