GlycanAge Testing

How Old Are You Really?
Includes comprehensive interpretation and a printed report summary- $499

At Icon Aesthetics, we go beyond surface-level health assessments to uncover how your body is truly aging at a cellular level. GlycanAge testing is an advanced, science-backed tool that measures your biological age—a more accurate reflection of your health than your birth date—by analyzing specific inflammation-related markers attached to your immune cells called glycans.

While chronological age simply counts the years, GlycanAge reveals how your lifestyle, stress levels, diet, and immune function are affecting your internal aging process. Using a quick blood test, this technology examines changes in glycosylation patterns—key markers associated with inflammation, immunity, and the risk of chronic disease.

GlycanAge testing helps answer vital questions like: Is my body aging faster than expected? How much is stress affecting my health? Are my current lifestyle habits reversing or accelerating aging? After the lab processes your sample, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining your biological age, immune system status, and inflammation level, along with targeted lifestyle recommendations to help slow—or even reverse—your biological aging.

This test is ideal for anyone seeking to adopt a proactive approach to healthy aging, optimize their performance, or monitor the long-term effects of nutrition, exercise, supplements, and hormone therapy. Many patients choose to retest annually to monitor progress and adjust their wellness plan accordingly.

If you’re ready to get a clear picture of how your body is aging—and take control of that process—book your GlycanAge testing consultation at Icon Aesthetics today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GlycanAge testing?

GlycanAge is a biological age test that measures how your body is aging on a cellular level. It analyzes glycans—sugar molecules attached to your immune cells—that reflect inflammation, immune function, and overall health.

How is biological age different from chronological age?

Yes, B12 is water-soluble and generally very safe. Excess amounts are excreted through urine. Side effects are rare but may include mild redness or soreness at the injection site.

What does the test measure?

GlycanAge specifically measures glycosylation patterns on Immunoglobulin G (IgG), a key immune protein. These patterns are closely tied to inflammation, stress, and lifestyle factors like diet, sleep, and exercise.

What kind of sample is required?

The test requires a small fingerstick blood sample, which is then sent to a specialized lab for analysis. The process is simple and can be done in-office at Icon Aesthetics.

How long does it take to get results?

You’ll typically receive your results within 2–3 weeks. Your report will include your biological age, inflammation markers, and personalized lifestyle recommendations to help optimize your aging process.

Who should consider getting GlycanAge tested?

Anyone interested in proactive health, longevity, or performance optimization can benefit from GlycanAge™ testing. It’s especially valuable for those with a family history of age-related diseases or chronic inflammation, or those undergoing hormone therapy or lifestyle changes.

Can lifestyle changes affect my GlycanAge results?

Yes! Your biological age is highly responsive to lifestyle. Improvements in sleep, diet, stress, exercise, and supplementation can positively impact your GlycanAge over time—making it a valuable tool to track the effectiveness of your wellness plan.

How often should I retest?

Most patients choose to retest annually to monitor progress and make data-driven adjustments to their lifestyle and treatment plan. Some retest more frequently when making significant health changes.

Is GlycanAge testing covered by insurance?

GlycanAge is currently a self-pay wellness service and is not typically covered by insurance. However, many patients consider it a valuable investment in preventive health and longevity.

What Our patients
Say

I cannot say enough about Hiatt from my very first visit, she has been nothing short of amazing. She truly listens to your concerns and offers thoughtful, personalized recommendations without any pressure. I appreciated that she gave me options to consider and explained clearly, making the decision process feel empowering and stress-free.

The clinic offers flexible payment options which made chosen procedure much more accessible. After careful consideration, I decided to move forward with a few cosmetic treatments. Hiatt was incredibly gentle throughout the entire process, always checking to make sure I was comfortable. Her technique is precise and her bedside manner is warm and reassuring.

She follows up after the procedure to see how you are doing. I felt completely supported every step of the way. I am now two weeks post- procedure, and I'm thrilled with my results. I look natural and refreshed, exactly what I had hoped for. I highly recommend her to anyone considering cosmetic treatments.
