Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails Panel
Health that shows on the outside begins within.
When hair starts shedding more, nails become brittle and skin becomes dry or loses its usual appearance, the first response is often a new shampoo, serum, cream or supplement.
But sometimes the problem goes beyond the surface.
Changes in hair, skin and nails may be associated with deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals, iron status or thyroid function.
That is why it makes sense to check what is happening inside before trying another product or taking supplements at random. The Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails Panel includes 8 laboratory tests that can help identify nutritional and hormonal factors associated with the changes you notice on the outside.
- 12 locations in Croatia
- Panels tailored to different needs
- Free interpretation
COMPOSITION
What do we check, and why?
Iron
Iron deficiency can affect tissues that renew quickly. Hair may show increased, diffuse shedding and thinning, while nails may become thin and brittle or change shape. If anaemia develops, paler skin may also be a visible sign.
Zinc
Vitamin D
Vitamin D receptors are found in hair follicles and skin cells. Low levels are more often found in people with certain forms of hair loss, while vitamin D also plays an important role in normal skin function. Its association with nail changes is less direct, so we primarily consider it in the context of hair and skin.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anaemia, which can make the skin look pale, and pigmentation changes may also occur. Because B12 is important for normal cell division, its status is also considered in changes in hair and nails, particularly when there are other signs of nutritional deficiency.
Folic acid
Folic acid is important for producing new cells and normal blood formation. Deficiency can lead to anaemia and pale skin, while an inadequate nutrient supply can also affect rapidly renewing tissues such as hair and nails.
TSH, fT3 and fT4
Thyroid hormones affect metabolism and the renewal of many tissues, so thyroid dysfunction can also become visible on the outside. An underactive thyroid can cause dry, rough skin, dry, thinning hair and brittle, slow-growing nails. With an overactive thyroid, hair may become thinner and finer with increased shedding, nails may separate more easily from the nail bed, and skin may be warmer and more moist.
ABOUT THE PANEL
When should you have the panel?
- increased or prolonged hair shedding
- thinning or changes in hair quality
- brittle nails that peel or break
- increased or prolonged hair shedding
- very dry skin or changes in your skin
- changes that do not improve despite care, or if you are considering vitamins and minerals for hair, skin and nails and want to check your levels first.
Before trying another serum, check what is happening inside.
Cosmetics can help with external care, but if there is an underlying nutritional deficiency or thyroid dysfunction, it is important to identify the possible cause.
Instead of taking supplements at random, laboratory results can show whether there are abnormalities and whether your body needs any particular nutrients replenished at all.
Because more is not always better. Taking vitamins and minerals without checking first is not always harmless. Excessive intake of certain nutrients can have harmful effects and disrupt the balance of other vitamins and minerals in the body. Supplementation should therefore not be based on assumptions – first check what you actually lack.
What happens after the results?
Laboratory results give you insight into important nutritional and hormonal indicators associated with the health of your hair, skin and nails.
Once you receive your results, you can consult our doctors free of charge, whether your values are normal or show abnormalities. A doctor will help you understand the results, put them in the context of your symptoms and, where needed, guide you towards further steps.
Because receiving a report is not enough; understanding what it means matters too.
