Hair & Beauty Test Abu Dhabi — 7 Markers for Hair, Skin & Nails | Lab Experts

Hair & Beauty blood test in Abu Dhabi — CBC, Vitamin D, Biotin (B7), B12, Iron, Ferritin & Zinc. Uncover the deficiencies behind hair loss, brittle nails & dull skin. AED 699. Results in 24h.

Starting from AED 699. Results in 24 hours.

The Hair & Beauty Package is designed to evaluate key vitamins, minerals and blood parameters that play an essential role in maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails. Nutritional deficiencies and certain blood disorders are common causes of hair loss, brittle nails, dull skin and fatigue. This package helps identify underlying deficiencies so they can be corrected through appropriate treatment and dietary changes.

What's Included — 7 Tests (AED 699)

- Complete Blood Count (CBC) — evaluates overall blood health (red cells, white cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, platelets). Detects anaemia, infection and inflammatory conditions that contribute to hair thinning, fatigue and poor recovery.

- Vitamin D (25-OH Total) — essential for healthy hair follicles, immune function and bone health. Low Vitamin D is strongly associated with increased hair shedding and certain types of hair loss.

- Vitamin B7 (Biotin) — a key B-vitamin supporting healthy hair, skin and nails via keratin production. Deficiency leads to hair thinning, brittle nails and skin problems.

- Vitamin B12 — required for red-blood-cell production and healthy nerve function. Deficiency causes anaemia, fatigue and reduced oxygen delivery to hair follicles.

- Iron (Serum) — essential for haemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional causes of excessive hair shedding, especially in women.

- Ferritin — measures your body's stored iron reserves. Even when serum iron looks normal, low Ferritin is strongly associated with chronic hair loss and poor hair growth.

- Zinc — essential for cell growth, tissue repair and immune function. Zinc deficiency causes hair loss, slow wound healing and brittle nails.

Who This Test Is For

- Anyone with unexplained hair shedding, thinning or slow regrowth

- Brittle, splitting or slow-growing nails

- Dull, dry, breakout-prone or slow-healing skin

- Persistent fatigue alongside hair or skin changes

- Postpartum women (telogen effluvium is very common)

- Vegetarian, vegan or restrictive-diet followers

- Menstruating women with heavy periods (iron / ferritin risk)

- Anyone taking hair/skin/nail supplements who wants to know if they're actually working

Common Deficiency Signs

- Iron / Ferritin low → diffuse hair shedding all over the scalp, tiredness, pale skin, brittle nails with ridges

- Vitamin D low → increased shedding, low mood, aches, frequent infections (80% of UAE adults are deficient)

- Vitamin B12 low → fatigue, tingling, brain fog, hair thinning, pale skin

- Biotin low → brittle hair and nails, scaly skin around eyes, nose and mouth

- Zinc low → hair loss, slow wound healing, acne, weak nails, poor sense of taste/smell

How It Works

1. Walk in or book home collection (from AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city, AED 150 outside, AED 250 other emirates)

2. Single fasting blood draw — 8 hours fasting recommended (water is fine). Stop biotin supplements for at least 48 hours before the test — they interfere with immunoassay accuracy.

3. Doctor-reviewed, password-protected PDF result within 24 hours — delivered by AES-256 encrypted email. Unlock code is the last 4 digits of your phone number.

Hair & Beauty (Blood) vs Hair Mineral Analysis (Hair)

The Hair & Beauty Package captures acute nutritional deficiencies driving current hair, skin and nail issues — the ones that respond fastest to supplementation. For long-term mineral balance and environmental heavy-metal exposure (Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Cadmium and 32 other elements) over the past 2–3 months, pair it with our [Hair Mineral Analysis (36 elements, AED 1,099)](/hair-mineral-analysis-abu-dhabi) — no extra blood draw required.

What is included in the Hair & Beauty Test in Abu Dhabi?

Seven blood markers essential for hair, skin and nail health: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Vitamin D (25-OH Total), Vitamin B7 (Biotin), Vitamin B12, Iron, Ferritin and Zinc — all AED 699 as a single package with a 24-hour PDF result.

How much does the Hair & Beauty blood test cost?

AED 699 all-in for all seven tests, doctor-reviewed interpretation and encrypted PDF delivery. Home collection is optional (from AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city).

Why do I need to stop biotin 48 hours before the test?

High-dose biotin (found in most hair/skin/nail supplements) interferes with lab immunoassays used to measure Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and thyroid hormones — it can produce falsely low or falsely high results. A 48-hour pause ensures your results reflect your real levels.

Which is more common — iron deficiency or Vitamin D deficiency for hair loss?

Both are extremely common in the UAE. Around 80% of UAE adults are Vitamin D deficient, and low Ferritin (iron stores) is the number-one nutritional cause of diffuse hair shedding in women. The Hair & Beauty Test checks both together — you don't have to guess which one to test first.

Is fasting required for this test?

An 8-hour fast is recommended for cleanest results (water is allowed). Morning appointments make fasting easier.

How long until I see improvement after correcting deficiencies?

The hair growth cycle is slow — visible improvement typically takes 2–4 months after starting iron, Vitamin D, B12, Biotin or Zinc supplementation. Nail changes appear within 4–6 weeks. A repeat blood test at 3 months confirms your levels are back in the healthy range.

Should I do the Hair & Beauty test or the Hair Mineral Analysis?

They answer different questions. Hair & Beauty (blood) catches acute vitamin and mineral deficiencies driving current shedding — fastest to fix. Hair Mineral Analysis (hair sample) reveals long-term mineral balance and heavy-metal exposure over 2–3 months. For a complete picture many patients do both.

Is home collection available?

Yes. Home blood collection is AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city, AED 150 outside city limits and AED 250 for other emirates. Book online or by phone at +971 50 869 2884.
