Microbiome
What is this test?
This product uses targeted sequencing to obtain comprehensive information about the skin microbiome, and identify potential imbalances and health risks in a timely fashion by analyzing its structure and distribution. Based on the results of the test, we provide personalized advice about how to protect your skin microbiota, manage your skin health scientifically, and adjust and improve the skin microbiota that is out of balance, so as to restore it and keep it stable. Eventually, we can help you take care of your skin in an evidence-based and targeted manner.
