Myths vs facts: Body-Balance Check | Testosteron-Test and Haut

The link between testosterone and skin is well-established: testosterone stimulates sebum production, which can contribute to acne, and influences hair growth cycles (e.g., androgenetic alopecia). However, a single home testosterone test is insufficient to diagnose or treat skin issues. The 'Body-Balance Check' is often a marketing term without validated studies. Testosterone levels fluctuate diurnally and are affected by stress, sleep, and diet. A one-time reading reveals little about long-term hormonal status. Moreover, skin changes can have many causes (e.g., diet, skincare, genetics). Medical evaluation with repeated measurements and clinical examination is necessary before any intervention like supplementation or hormone therapy. Bottom line: The myth that a home test alone explains skin problems is misleading. Fact: Testosterone plays a role, but interpretation requires expertise and context.
