Precision Skin Health

A protocol built from your biology — not your skin type.

Every visible skin concern traces to a named biological driver. I map yours across three streams of evidence — lifestyle, aesthetic identity, and genetics — and build a precision protocol around it: physician-led, mechanism-based, and specific to one individual at a time.

The Upstream Driver

Your biology is partly written before you are born.

The rate at which your collagen degrades, the efficiency of your antioxidant enzyme systems, how readily your inflammatory pathways activate, and how your skin responds to UV — these are not random. They are partially encoded in your genome. Specific variants in genes like COL1A1, MMP1, MC1R, and SOD2 determine whether your skin is predisposed to accelerated structural breakdown, pigmentation dysregulation, or oxidative vulnerability — independent of what you do or do not do.

This matters because it changes the intervention. Two individuals with identical visible concerns may have categorically different biological drivers. One protocol built for surface appearance treats neither correctly. A protocol built from genetic predisposition, lifestyle context, and measurable biomarkers treats both precisely.

That is the SKNCODE™ model. The skin is the signal. The genome is part of the source — but the environment writes on top of it. Lifestyle, UV burden, hormonal state, and chronic stress determine which genetic predispositions are expressed, and at what rate. SKNCODE™ reads both.

KEY BENEFITS OF DNA SKIN TESTING:

Personalized Insights

Identify the genetic factors that determine your skin's response to aging, sun exposure, collagen production, and more. This test gives you personalized skincare recommendations based on your unique genetic profile.

Prevention Over Correction

By understanding your skin's genetic predispositions, you can prevent potential skin issues before they occur. This proactive approach helps maintain youthful and healthy skin longer.

Targeted Skincare Solutions

DNA testing provides precise guidance on what ingredients and treatments are most effective for your skin type. Say goodbye to trial and error — get straight to the products that work best for you.

Holistic Health Approach

DNA insights go beyond just skincare. They can also provide information on how lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, and sleep affect your skin, allowing you to make informed decisions for overall skin health.

Phase One

A single, fully documented journey —
from concern to consultation.

Three steps, in order. Each one builds on the last, and all three are completed before a consultation can be requested.

01

Understand Your Concern

Begin on the SKNCODE™ platform. Identify your primary aesthetic skin concern, discover its underlying biological driver, as well as its  contributing lifestyle and environmental factors. Explore generalised, holistic recommendations, mapped to the  specific drivers.  At this stage you can build your own protocol, based on only the concern and its underlying drivers. If you want a physician-built, precision protocol based on your genetic predispositions, lifestyle and environmental factors, as well as your aesthetic archetype, then you need to complete step 2.

02

Build Your Aesthetic Profile

Complete the SKNCODE™ Aesthetic Profile — a lifestyle and environmental questionnaire, your aesthetic archetype, and a genetic SNP panel via an at-home skin DNA test. This maps your genetic predispositions across the five concern pathways. Order your test on the platform. The test is a single cheek swab. No blood draw. No clinic visit.

03

Request Your Consultation

Your consultation request unlocks once all three streams of your Aesthetic Profile are complete and your genetic results are ready — typically within three weeks. You're kept updated on progress as each stream is processed, and notified the moment your results are available, with a direct link back to the platform to request your consultation.

Browsing SKNCODE™ is free, and open to anyone. Building your Aesthetic Profile, and the precision protocol that follows it, requires a free SKNCODE™ account — this is what keeps your results private and lets you access them securely, at any time.
Phase Two

This is where synthesis happens.

Once your Aesthetic Profile is complete and your consultation is confirmed, we meet — in person or online. This consultation is where your concern, its biological driver, your lifestyle context, and your genetic blueprint are reviewed together, as one picture.

04

The Consultation

Raw data without clinical context is not precision — it is noise. Every result is interpreted against your concern and your lifestyle and environmental context before it informs anything.

05

Your Precision Protocol

Medical-grade topicals, oral supplementation, in-clinic treatments, at-home devices, and lifestyle prescriptions — selected because your biology indicated them, not because your skin type suggested them.

Your protocol is delivered to your SKNCODE™ dashboard after each consultation, where it stays available to you alongside your results,  Your genetic predispositions lives on your dashboard, stated according to priorities, with short explanations of what it means for you.

This is a complete protocol on its own terms. You can begin here, live with it, and revisit it with me as your biology changes.

An Optional, Recommended Layer

If you want your protocol's impact measured, not just felt —

Biomarker testing and biological age testing add a quantified layer to the same protocol. They are not required to begin. For individuals who want them, they are discussed and initiated at the same first consultation described above.

Powered by SKNCODE™

Delivered through a physician-led precision skin intelligence platform.

Every recommendation you receive traces to a named biological mechanism. Every precision protocol is built by a physician, not generated from a skin type. Every outcome, where measured, is measured biologically — not assumed.

Your biology already has an answer.
Let's start by understanding your concern.
