Comprehensive Beauty Panel
Cortisol helps maintain skin moisture but can also increase oil production, causing acne and inflammation. It also affects various body systems, including nervous and cardiovascular. DHEA has anti-aging benefits like fighting wrinkles but excess can lead to acne. Estradiol, a sex hormone, influences collagen production and moisture retention in skin, with imbalances causing dryness or hyperpigmentation. Progesterone balances skin moisture, but too much leads to breakouts. Testosterone is important for oil production, with imbalances causing acne. CBC and CMP blood tests help screen for overall health issues, while Vitamin D and magnesium support bones, immunity, and energy metabolism.

ABOUT THE TEST
DHEA DHEA is thought to have key anti-aging benefits, including the ability to fight wrinkles and keep skin firm. However, excess amounts can lead to increased oil and acne. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in both men and women. A DHEAS test can help diagnose a variety of conditions, including:
- Adrenal gland tumors
- Testicle or ovary disorders
- Early or late puberty
- Masculine features in women and girls, such as excess hair growth, acne, oily skin, and irregular periods
- Pituitary gland damage or disease
Estrogen (Estradiol) Influences the skin’s ability to produce collagen and retain moisture. Low levels can lead to dryness and wrinkles, while excess can result in hyperpigmentation.
A sex hormone that regulates reproduction and female characteristics in the body. Imbalanced levels can also impact microbiome health, metabolism, cycle regularity, and the skin’s ability to produce collagen.
- Sexual development: Estradiol is responsible for the growth of the womb, fallopian tubes, and vagina, as well as breast development and changes in body fat distribution.
Progesterone A healthy balance of progesterone helps to keep your skin clear, moisturized, and protected from the effects of stress. Too much can lead to acne and breakouts. A progesterone test can help show whether low progesterone levels are causing female infertility (problems getting pregnant after a year of trying) or problems during pregnancy. The test may also help diagnose certain problems with the adrenal glands that may cause high levels of progesterone in both females and males.
An anti-inflammatory hormone that regulates aspects of reproduction and mental state because of its close relationship with stress hormone, cortisol. Imbalanced levels can lead to lower libido, bloating, changes in blood sugar levels, cycle irregularities, and dry, acne prone skin.
imbalances result in acne and abnormal hair growth.
CBC Complete Blood Count): Determines a person’s general health status and screens for a wide range of diseases and
conditions, including anemia, infection or blood disorders and bone marrow health.
CMP A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a routine blood test that measures 14 substances in the
blood to provide information about the body’s metabolism and chemical balance. The test can help
healthcare providers diagnose, screen for, or monitor health conditions or side effects of medications.
Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy
People with overweight or obesity often have lower vitamin D levels than people with BMIs in the “normal” range. Still, evidence to suggest that low vitamin D levels cause weight gain or make it more difficult to lose body fat is limited.
Vitamin D is a nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones. That’s because your body can only absorb calcium, the primary component of bone, when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.
Magnesium The role of magnesium in the body
As magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the human body, supplementation with this mineral has shown numerous health benefits, especially in people experiencing symptoms of deficiency, going through a stressful period, or in a life stage where their nutritional needs are increased (such as pregnancy, adolescence, or old age).
It helps the normal functioning of muscles, the nervous and immune systems, in addition to being crucial for energy metabolism and the formation of endogenous collagen that keeps tissues strong. Consequently, magnesium deficiency is one of the main causes of current uncompensated stress, translated into restlessness, discomfort, anxiety, irritability, cramps, palpitations, eye twitches, fatigue, contractions, tissue deterioration, unfounded fear, and even phobias.
