| 摘要 |
Disclosed herein are skin analysis methods and assays which objectively identify biological strengths and weaknesses in a patient's genetic coding that affect the health and beauty of their skin. The generated results can be utilized to develop a personalized skin care and nutritional regimen to prevent, reduce and treat skin deterioration, disorders and diseases. In some embodiments, a method of characterizing a subject's skin is provided which includes generating a personalized skin profile by determining a subject's genetic potential in at least one area of skin health by analyzing one or more skin health- associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or other genetic marker associated with the particular area of skin health being assessed in a sample obtained from the subject. The generated skin profile reveals the subject's genetic strengths, weaknesses and/or risks related to the one or more areas of skin health thereby allowing a personalized skincare and/or nutritional regimen to be developed and implemented. |
