Two-thirds of men in the U.S. experience some form of hair loss, or alopecia, by the age of 35. Additionally, Male Patterned Baldness (MPB), or androgenetic alopecia, affects 50 million men in the U.S.
Each person has a unique combination of factors (genetic and lifestyle related) that contribute to their hair loss. However, it’s been historically treated with a one-size-fits-all approach.
Effectively treating hair loss requires personalized medicine. Personalized medicine creates a comprehensive treatment plan based upon your genetics and lifestyle.
Your genetic profile is unique to you and has the most significant impact on the development of alopecia. Without adequate testing, this information can go ignored. With 287 genetic regions that influence alopecia, ignoring this data can negatively impact the effectiveness of your treatment.
In addition to a hereditary component, hair loss has a lifestyle component. Your lifestyle leaves an imprint on your genetic profile and can affect how your genes are expressed; this is called epigenetics. The lifestyle factors that influence hair loss include:
Each of these behaviors can cause cellular damage and exacerbate hair loss.
When conventional medical professionals prescribe medications, your unique genetic profile isn’t taken into consideration. The decision is based on the symptoms of your hair loss instead of addressing the root cause.
Typically, the medical treatment for hair loss is reduced to two FDA-approved prescriptions:
And one option that is not FDA approved, but is widely and effectively used:
Sometimes the prescribed treatment from your medical professional fails to produce results. Your unique genetics play a significant role in how your body reacts to certain treatments. For example, certain genetic changes may make you resistant to Minoxidil which needs to be activated by your body before it is effective. Those with that particular gene change will not respond to Minoxidil. In this case, you would benefit from an in-depth look into your genetic profile to pinpoint a treatment personalized to your exact needs.
The proprietary Nimbus Hair DNA Test analyzes your genetic profile to find the underlying causes for your hair loss. A patented algorithm chooses from over 175 million therapeutic alternatives to provide a personalized treatment solution.
A customized prescription is developed by medical professionals according to your specific genetic needs.
Your genetic profile will be analyzed on 13 genes and 48 different genetic variations. An analysis will also be conducted on the different types of alopecia:
Knowing the type of alopecia that affects you helps to determine personalized treatment options.
Your genetic profile provides insight into hereditary and lifestyle factors that cause hair loss, like:
The process begins with a telemedicine consultation about your type of hair loss and potential treatment options. Nimbus will send you a lab kit to take a cheek swab for the proprietary Nimbus Hair DNA Test sample. It is then sent to Nimbus labs for an analysis of your genetic profile.
In 14 days, you will have another telemedicine appointment to discuss personalized treatment options.
The entire process is convenient and confidential, and can be done from virtually anywhere.
In addition to convenience, Nimbus offers a more valuable solution than conventional treatment. The cost of our services are the same, but you receive a more in-depth analysis of your genetic profile and personalized medicine to treat the root cause of your particular type of hair loss.
It’s easy to get started with Nimbus – simply create an account and fill out our medical questionnaire. A board-certified physician will then evaluate your information, and you’ll be able to use our messaging platform once logged in.

Hair loss (alopecia) is a progressive condition that has different forms and causes. The most common hair loss type, known as androgenetic alopecia, is hereditary. If left untreated, hair loss usually progresses over time.
A personalized prescription is developed for you by your healthcare professional.
Nimbus Hair DNA Test (NHD Test) provides a full report with explanation of your genetic characteristics and their relationship with alopecia treatment.
Your prescriber will now have a deeper understanding of your genetic characteristics and how they relate to alopecia.
Your genetic results will not change during your life.

Early on, it’s possible to stop or even reverse this hair loss. However, at a certain point, the hair follicle also loses attachment to the small muscles in the skin (called the arrector pili muscles). When this happens, hair loss is permanent.
Finasteride and minoxidil typically take three to four months of daily use to start seeing visible changes. It can take up to a year to see the maximum results. As long as you don’t experience side effects, it’s best to continue the medication for one full year before deciding on whether the medication is doing all it can for you. Like all medications, finasteride and minoxidil will work differently for different people. To sustain benefits, you have to continue using hair loss medication. If you stop, your hair loss may return.
We offer prescription and over-the-counter medications clinically proven to help you prevent and reverse hair loss.

Personalized medicine uses your unique genetic information combined with your lifestyle information to create a truly customized treatment plan just for you. It removes the guesswork from selecting a treatment by analyzing key genes involved in the root cause of the medical concern. The future is now; the era of bespoke customized medicine is here and Nimbus Healthcare is a leader in the personalized medicine space.
Current treatment for hair loss revolves around two FDA-approved medications, minoxidil, and finasteride. A third called dutasteride is used “off-label” by providers for hair loss as well. The problem with that approach is it relies on trial and error. For instance, if you have a genetic change in the SULT1A1 gene, you cannot activate Minoxidil and the treatment will not work for you. Imagine using the product for months and getting nothing! Another example is the SR5DA gene; certain differences in these genes may make you more likely to respond to finasteride or dutasteride. Without analyzing your unique genetics, providers would be guessing and lose valuable time as we move from treatment to treatment hoping we find something that works. We also look at several other mechanisms involved with hair loss including hair growth factors, inflammation, vitamins and minerals, and collagen formation. A comprehensive solution is created just for you based on your unique genetic profile.
Hair loss can be caused by many different factors, including genetic sensitivity to sex hormones, stress, infections, immune system dysregulation, vitamin deficiencies, and medications. Our personalized medicine system addresses these root causes.
