DNA Tests at Beauty Spas

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on December 4th, 2006

How was your last dentist visit? I’m guessing that a visit to a beauty day spa would be much more enjoyable. And guess what? DNA tests may be available at both places.

The Essence MedSpa in Medway, Massachusettes is offering “wellness profiling” by DNA.

Dr. Cela Doppelt, owner and gynecologist:

This is probably going to be the cutting edge for medicine in the future. It’s not just guesswork. We can say you are at risk for these conditions, you aren’t at risk for these conditions and this is what you can do to improve your health.

Interesting when a medical professional gets involved in the vending of direct-to-consumer nutrigenomic tests. Does that give the DNA tests more credibility?
