Precision Medicine: you’re a work of art, and no two pieces of art are the same.

By Sarah Hunger

Picture this: You walk into a shoe store, and the salesperson hands you a random-sized shoe saying, "This should fit everyone!". Sounds ridiculous, right? Yet, for decades, that's essentially how medicine worked—a one-size-fits-all approach. But in recent years, a revolution called "precision medicine" has turned this notion on its head.

Like finding the right moisturizer for your skin type or the perfect pair of jeans that hugs your body just right, precision medicine is like tailoring your healthcare to your unique genetic makeup, preferences, and lifestyle.

Think of your body as a car, and your genes as the car manual. You wouldn't use a motorcycle's manual to fix a car, right? Similarly, precision medicine ensures you're not given treatments meant for someone else's "make and model."

At the heart of precision medicine is genetics. We all have a unique DNA code that makes us who we are. This code influences our susceptibility to diseases and the way we respond to treatments. Precision medicine leverages this genetic treasure trove to customize healthcare.

Imagine your genes as the ultimate navigation system. Instead of a generic roadmap, precision medicine uses your genetic GPS to chart a personalized route through the healthcare landscape. This means treatments and medications designed just for you, sparing you from unnecessary trial and error with medical concerns like hair loss, for example.

Hair loss is hard coded in DNA through many different genes. Using MyhairDNA by art&fact, the most comprehensive genetic variation test for alopecia for both men and women, our clinic experts will figure out exactly which genetic components contribute to your hair loss in order to tailor your treatment, provide you with personalized medicine and dosages that are precisely optimizer for you, and create a targeted plan to achieve fuller and long-lasting results.

With precision medicine, by analyzing your genetics, doctors can predict how you'll respond to different drugs. So, instead of playing pharmaceutical roulette, you get the right medication, at the right dose, at the right time. By considering and factoring in your genetic risk factors, it is like having your very own crystal ball to help avoid future health issues. It's not only about treating diseases, but also preventing them.

As we look ahead, precision medicine holds immense promise. In a world where we’ve become accustomed to one-size-fits-all solutions, precision medicine now provides the opportunity to receive custom-made treatment plans, specifically, for your unique self.

At hair by art&fact, how you see beauty is your business, getting your reflection to reflect your definition of it is our business. Finally, looking better doesn’t have to mean looking like everyone else.
