About this category
Your Gene Profile
Keeping the skin firm, plump and wrinkle-free, collagen makes up 75%
of the skins dry weight. Your genetic predispositions play a big role in
determining both the speed of collagen production and breakdown.

Why do we experience Sagging Skin?
When you are younger, your body makes more collagen than it loses,
but after about the age of 40, collagen loss can accelerate, leading to a
decline in the health and appearance of your skin. This process is
precipitated by a protein called MMP1 or Collagenase.
Collagen BALANCE
In youthful skin, production
and degradation of
Collagen is in balance.
Collagen Protection
Collagen IMBALANCE
Genetic abnormalities can
can cause increased collagen
breakdown.
The SkinDNATM Genetic ® Test can help identify if the rise and fall of
collagen is in balance, or if the breakdown of collagen predominates,
which can result in the appearance of premature wrinkling, aging and
sagging of the skin.

Your body has reduced functioning
ability to efficiently metabolise glucose:
If glucose is not completely metabolized the
excess stored can cause Glycation. If you have
a high sugar diet can increase your lifetime risk
to Glycation.
About this category
Glycation is heavily implicated in accelerated skin aging and has been
described as carmelization of the skin from the inside out. Glycation
occurs when excess bodily glucose molecules link to the skin’s Collagen
and Elastin fibers. This cross-linking can form chemical bridges between
these proteins.

How your body processes sugar is determined in part by your genes.
Variations in the these genes can alter the functioning of normal glucose
levels and energy metabolism. Glycated collagen fibers can become rigid,
less elastic and have reduced regenerative ability which can lead to
damage such as laxity, cracking and thinning skin.
The SkinDNA Genetic Test can help to identify genetic variations that can
alter the functioning of normal glucose levels and energy metabolism.
While glucose is a vital cellular fuel, if not fully metabolized by the body
Glycation can occur.

You have an imbalance - more collagen is breaking down and less is being produced.
Your bodies ability to efficiently breakdown glucose levels is normal. However if you lead an unhealthy routine consisting of a high sugar diet can
ultimately increase your lifestyle risk to Glycation.
Your body is partially efficient in producing melanin as well as other various processors that aim to protect your skin from the sun. You may also have a
higher chance of irregular pigmentation and burning.
Your body’s ability to produce essential antioxidants is normal. However by living an unhealthy lifestyle that includes smoking, high stress and bad diet
can ultimately increase free radical production, which will increase your risk of cellular damage
You have a partial oversupply of inflammatory proteins. As a result, the extra inflammation produced may cause rash, redness or irritations. You may
also have a partial risk of chemical sensitivity found in perfumed products and city pollution.

Your bodies ability to protect your skin from the sun is
optimal: However by sunbathing everyday or not taking care
while outdoors can ultimately increase your lifestyle risk of sun
damage, UV damage and pigmentation issues.
Your results indicate that your body is moderately able to produce melanin (pigment). It is
likely that your skin provides the volume of melanin needed to protect you for short
intervals of sunlight exposure.
It is likely that your body has the ability to tan, you may find that longer exposure causes
sensitivity, freckling and other various pigmentation spots with minimal sun burning
symptoms.
Normal ability to repair DNA damage caused from UV exposure.
Heightened sensitivity and reduced ability to break down radicals produced from UV
exposed skin cells.
Normal DNA repairing ability. After UV exposure this gene is crucial for maintaining the
overall health and integrity of skin by repairing DNA damage caused by UV exposure.
