Lipid Testing

Look Good, Feel Better
Live Healthier

At Dermedicare, our approach to aesthetics goes beyond the surface. We believe that feeling good on the inside is just as important as looking great on the outside — and that’s why we offer lipid profile testing as part of our holistic health and wellness services.

What is a Lipid Profile Test?

A lipid profile is a blood test that measures:

• Total cholesterol
• HDL ("good") cholesterol
• LDL ("bad") cholesterol
• Triglycerides

Why is it Relevant to Aesthetics?

Lipid testing plays a key role in:

• Supporting skin health —
   certain skin conditions like xanthelasma can be linked to cholesterol imbalances
• Guiding safe weight management and body contouring treatments
• Personalising injectable or hormonal treatments where metabolic health matters
• Supporting anti-ageing programmes that focus on long-term vitality, not just appearance

These markers are important indicators of your heart and metabolic health.

Who is it for?

Lipid profile testing may be recommended if:

• You're undergoing a fat reduction or weight loss programme
• You have visible signs of lipid imbalance (e.g. skin lesions or xanthelasma)
• You're considering bioidentical hormones,wellness drips, or anti-ageing treatments
• You simply want to monitor your overall health and wellbeing

What to Expect

• A simple blood test (fasting may be required)
• Results typically available within 24–48 hours
• Confidential review with our team to discuss any next steps or recommendations

Alternative?

We offer the option of pinprick test for needle phobia patients which is although marginally less accurate than usual phlebotomy, pinprick tests can still provide valuable information and are often used for routine testing. Contact us for further information.
