Know your body inside out. Body Composition, Oligoscan, Allergy Testing, Heavy Metal Testing, Epigenetic Age, Omega Balance, Gut Microbiome, Sleep Study, Cardiac & Cancer Biomarkers at Medicutis, Delhi.
Every wellness programme at Medicutis starts here. We don’t guess what you need — we measure it. Then we build your programme around the data.
What it tells you:
Fat mass vs lean muscle mass vs visceral fat vs body water — broken down by body segment. Your body weight tells you almost nothing useful. InBody tells you everything. DEXA available for bone mineral density.
Why it matters:
The mandatory starting point for every body contouring, weight management, and metabolic programme at Medicutis. Visceral fat — the fat around your organs — is the most dangerous kind, and it’s invisible on a scale. Only body composition analysis reveals it. Provides objective before-and-after measurement so you can see real progress, not just feel it.

What it tells you:
A non-invasive optical scan of the palm skin assesses 20 mineral elements (magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, calcium) and 14 heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, aluminium) — no needles, results in minutes. Developed in France.
Why it matters:
Mineral deficiencies are a silent driver of fatigue, hair loss, thyroid dysfunction, and immune impairment in urban Indians — rarely detected on standard blood panels. Heavy metals from fish, old pipes, dental amalgam, and smoking accumulate silently. Oligoscan provides a rapid screen that guides targeted blood test confirmation. Positioned as a screening tool — not a diagnostic blood test equivalent. Significant findings confirmed with blood/urine testing before any clinical intervention.

What it tells you:
The gold standard for IgE-mediated allergy diagnosis. Tiny amounts of allergen extracts introduced into the superficial skin. Positive reactions produce a visible wheal-and-flare within 15 minutes. Tests inhalants (house dust mite, pollen, mould, animal dander) and foods (peanut, egg, milk, wheat, fish, nuts).
Why it matters:
Identifies exactly which allergens your immune system is reacting to — enabling targeted avoidance, allergy-specific dietary planning, and informed decisions about immunotherapy. At Medicutis, this is the starting point for comprehensive allergy management and the foundation of allergy-specific nutrition programmes.

What it tells you:
Measures body burden of mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminium. Blood = recent exposure. Urine = current excretion. Hair = cumulative 1–3 month exposure. Each matrix captures a different dimension of your toxic metal status.
Why it matters:
Heavy metals accumulate silently from fish, old water pipes, dental amalgam, smoking, and occupational exposure — and contribute to neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue, thyroid disruption, and skin conditions in ways that standard testing never identifies. Testing pinpoints the source and burden, guiding targeted elimination strategy.

What it tells you:
DNA methylation patterns at specific CpG sites across the genome calculate your biological age — how fast your cells are ageing relative to your chronological age. Based on validated algorithms (Horvath clock, GrimAge, PhenoAge) shown to predict all-cause mortality and disease risk in research populations.
Why it matters:
The most direct measure of how well you are ageing. A biological age 5 years younger than your chronological age means your lifestyle and biology are working in your favour. Higher means it’s time to act — and early. At Medicutis, this is the anchor measurement of the longevity programme — repeated at 12 months to prove whether interventions are genuinely reversing cellular ageing.
Book your Epigenetic Age Test at Medicutis
What it tells you:
Measures EPA and DHA as a percentage of red blood cell membrane fatty acids — your 3–4 month omega-3 average. Also measures omega-6:omega-3 ratio and AA:EPA (the arachidonic acid to EPA ratio — a direct marker of systemic inflammatory balance).
Why it matters:
Most urban Indians have an omega-3 index of 3–4% — well below the cardioprotective 8% threshold — due to high refined vegetable oil consumption and low oily fish intake. An AA:EPA ratio above 11 (common in Indian patients) indicates a pro-inflammatory state driving cardiovascular and chronic disease risk. This test quantifies your deficit precisely so supplementation is correctly dosed — not guessed.

What it tells you:
16S rRNA gene sequencing of a stool sample maps the composition, diversity, and functional capacity of your gut microbiome — identifying beneficial species, pathogenic overgrowth, short-chain fatty acid production capacity, and inflammatory markers.
Why it matters:
Your gut microbiome directly affects your skin (acne, rosacea, eczema — the gut-skin axis), your mood (gut-brain axis), your metabolic health, your immunity, and your inflammatory status. At Medicutis, gut microbiome testing is used for patients with chronic skin conditions, IBS, metabolic syndrome, and unexplained fatigue — enabling targeted probiotic, prebiotic, and dietary restoration that generic ‘probiotic supplements’ cannot achieve.
Book your Gut Microbiome Test at Medicutis
What it tells you:
Assesses sleep architecture, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) events, oxygen desaturation, HRV during sleep, and REM/deep sleep proportions. Home sleep assessment with validated devices, or full laboratory polysomnography for complex cases.
Why it matters:
Undiagnosed OSA affects 10–15% of urban Indian adults and drives treatment-resistant hypertension, insulin resistance, severe daytime fatigue, and accelerated cardiovascular ageing. Most of the body’s growth hormone (the primary tissue repair and skin regeneration hormone) is released during deep sleep — poor sleep quality directly impairs skin, hair, metabolic health, and longevity outcomes. At Medicutis, sleep assessment is integrated into metabolic and longevity programmes for patients with fatigue, obesity, or poor treatment response.

What it tells you:
Beyond standard cholesterol: ApoB (most accurate atherogenic particle measure), Lipoprotein(a) — Lp(a) (genetically fixed independent cardiovascular risk factor), hs-CRP (inflammatory cardiovascular risk), homocysteine, HbA1c, fasting insulin, and NT-proBNP.
Why it matters:
Indian patients develop cardiovascular disease 10 years earlier than Western populations at lower BMI. The drivers — elevated Lp(a) (in 25–30% of Indians), insulin resistance, low HDL at normal weight — are systematically missed by standard lipid panels. Lp(a) in particular is genetically fixed, cannot be reduced by diet or statins, and requires specific clinical management that is never initiated without testing. This panel finds the risks that standard checks miss.
Book your Cardiac Risk Biomarker Panel at Medicutis
What it tells you:
PSA (prostate), CA-125 (ovarian), CA 19-9 (pancreatic/biliary), CA 15-3 (breast), AFP (liver), CEA (colorectal/lung), beta-HCG — offered as part of an annual comprehensive health review for 40+ patients or those with relevant family history.
Why it matters:
Tumour markers are not perfect tests — they can miss early cancers and can be elevated by non-cancerous conditions. At Medicutis, cancer biomarker screening is offered within a clinician-led context: results are interpreted alongside your symptoms, history, and risk factors — never as a standalone pass/fail test. Normal results do not exclude cancer. This is important and we say it clearly.

A clinical health assessment at Medicutis maps your concerns, goals, family history, and symptoms to the tests most likely to provide actionable information for you. We don't recommend a universal panel for everyone — targeted testing gives better clinical value than blanket panels.
No — Oligoscan is a non-invasive optical scan of the palm skin. No needles, instant results. It's a screening tool — a rapid way to identify priorities for follow-up blood and urine testing. At Medicutis, we confirm significant Oligoscan findings with blood or urine testing before prescribing any intervention.
It tells you how fast your cells are biologically ageing — independently of how many years you've been alive. At 40 years old, your biological age might be 35 (ageing well) or 48 (ageing fast — time to act). At Medicutis, we use this as the baseline measurement for longevity programme patients and repeat at 12 months to measure whether our interventions are genuinely working.
No — and we're explicit about this. Each tumour marker has specific applications and limitations. Normal results do not exclude cancer. At Medicutis, results are interpreted by a clinician in the context of your full clinical picture — never as a standalone test with a simple pass/fail answer.
