Hair Loss Is Genetic

Research shows that several underlying factors affect overall hair health, but the biggest contributor is genetics so don't blame your mother for your hair loss. At Nimbus, we look at your key genetic factors and develop the most effective active ingredients to not only reverse your hair loss but help your hair grow back stronger and healthier.
Two-thirds of men in the U.S. experience some form of hair loss, or alopecia, by the age of 35. Additionally, Male Patterned Baldness (MPB), or androgenetic alopecia, affects 50 million men in the U.S.

Your genetic profile is unique to you and has the most significant impact on the development of alopecia. Without adequate testing, this information can go ignored. With 287 genetic regions that influence alopecia, ignoring this data can negatively impact the effectiveness of your treatment.

In addition to a hereditary component, hair loss has a lifestyle component. Your lifestyle leaves an imprint on your genetic profile and can affect how your genes are expressed; this is called epigenetics. The lifestyle factors that influence hair loss include:

  • Poor diet
  • Pollution
  • Using harsh chemicals
  • Stress

Each of these behaviors can cause cellular damage and exacerbate hair loss. 

Personalized Treatments

When conventional medical professionals prescribe medications, your unique genetic profile isn’t taken into consideration. The decision is based on the symptoms of your hair loss instead of addressing the root cause. Typically, the medical treatment for hair loss is reduced to two FDA-approved prescriptions:

  • Minoxidil (Rogaine): a topical treatment used to regrow hair on the top and crown of your head.
  • Finasteride: a pill used to stop further hair loss. And one option that is not FDA approved, but is widely and effectively used:

Sometimes the prescribed treatment from your medical professional fails to produce the desired results. Your unique genetics play a significant role in how your body reacts to certain treatments. For example, the most popular hair loss treatment, Minoxidil aka Rogaine, may not work for everyone. Minoxidil is a drug that needs to be metabolized in your body before it becomes active -- meaning unless your body has the right genetic composition to convert it into a usable form, it will not work. Curious to understand the science? That's why it's so important to have a genetic test done so you can treat the root cause of your hair loss.

Our patented test and algorithm

The proprietary Nimbus Hair DNA Test analyzes your genetic profile to find the underlying causes for your hair loss. A patented algorithm chooses from over 175 million therapeutic alternatives to provide a personalized treatment solution. A customized prescription is developed by medical professionals according to your specific genetic needs.

Your genetic profile will be analyzed on 13 genes and 48 different genetic variations. An analysis will also be conducted on the different types of alopecia:

  • Androgenetic alopecia

  • Alopecia areata

  • Telogen effuvium

Knowing the type of alopecia that affects you helps to determine personalized treatment options.

How It Works

Your genetic profile provides insight into hereditary and lifestyle factors that cause hair loss, like:

  • Blood circulation

  • Testosterone levels

  • Stress

  • Low vitamin levels

  • Inflammation

  • Hormonal changes

The process begins with a telemedicine consultation about your type of hair loss and potential treatment options. Nimbus will send you a lab kit to take a cheek swab for the proprietary Nimbus Hair DNA Test sample. It is then sent to Nimbus labs for an analysis of your genetic profile.

In 14 days, you will have another telemedicine appointment to discuss personalized treatment options. The entire process is convenient and confidential, and can be done from virtually anywhere.

In addition to convenience, Nimbus offers a more valuable solution than conventional treatment. The cost of our services are the same, but you receive a more in-depth analysis of your genetic profile and personalized medicine to treat the root cause of your particular type of hair loss.

Nimbus Hair DNA Test

Hair loss (alopecia) is a progressive condition that has different forms and causes. The most common hair loss type, known as androgenetic alopecia, is hereditary. If left untreated, hair loss usually progresses over time.

  • Nimbus Hair DNA Test (NHD Test) analyzes 13 genes and 48 genetic variations related to alopecia.

  • Genetic test based on state-of-the-art DNA micro array technology.

  • A patented algorithm provides a personalized treatment solution from 175 million therapeutic alternatives.

  • Genetic analysis has a 99.9% accuracy

Sometimes the prescribed treatment from your medical professional fails to produce results. Your unique genetics play a significant role in how your body reacts to certain treatments. For example, certain genetic changes may make you resistant to Minoxidil which needs to be activated by your body before it is effective. Those with that particular gene change will not respond to Minoxidil. In this case, you would benefit from an in-depth look into your genetic profile to pinpoint a treatment personalized to your exact needs.

About Hair Loss

Male pattern baldness occurs when longer, darker hairs that once grew on the scalp are replaced by thinner, shorter, less pigmented hairs. This is due to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone.

Early on, it’s possible to stop or even reverse this hair loss. However, at a certain point, the hair follicle also loses attachment to the small muscles in the skin (called the arrector pili muscles). When this happens, hair loss is permanent.

Finasteride and minoxidil typically take three to four months of daily use to start seeing visible changes. It can take up to a year to see the maximum results. As long as you don’t experience side effects, it’s best to continue the medication for one full year before deciding on whether the medication is doing all it can for you. Like all medications, finasteride and minoxidil will work differently for different people. To sustain benefits, you have to continue using hair loss medication. If you stop, your hair loss may return.
