What We Test For And Why

Roots by GA addresses a wide range of hair loss concerns, from early-stage thinning to more progressed balding, including male pattern baldness, androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, shedding, diffuse thinning, patchy hair loss, widening part, and general hair fall. Our customized topical solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs—whether you’re aiming to stop hair loss, encourage regrowth, or enhance hair density.

Roots by GA uses a comprehensive range of FDA-approved topical ingredients, such as minoxidil, which can be prescribed in varying dosages tailored to your unique genetic variations and enzyme activity. Additionally, we incorporate FDA off-label medications like finasteride and its stronger form, dutasteride, to help reduce DHT, a hormone that can contribute to hair loss. DHT levels vary among individuals based on genetic factors, and addressing this can be critical in slowing or reversing hair loss.

For those less responsive to minoxidil, or for a more multitargeted approach, ingredients like latanoprost and cetirizine are available to support hair regrowth. Spironolactone, often recommended for women, helps reduce testosterone levels, which can also contribute to hair thinning. To further enhance treatment, circulation modulators like caffeine are used to promote blood flow, especially in cases where genetic markers suggest it could be beneficial. Other clinically validated ingredients include tretinoin to improve absorption, as well as vitamins and hormones like melatonin, which contribute to overall scalp and hair health.
