GlycanAge Testing

Unlock Your True Biological Age
Comprehensive analysis with detailed interpretation and printed report – $499

Icon Aesthetics in Athens brings advanced wellness assessment beyond conventional health evaluations. We reveal how your body is actually aging at the cellular level. Using GlycanAge™ technology, we assess biological age through scientifically validated methods that examine glycans, specialized inflammatory indicators present on immune cells. This delivers a far more precise understanding of your health status than chronological age alone.

While your chronological age tracks years lived, GlycanAge™ reveals the real impact of nutrition, stress levels, daily habits, and immune system function on cellular aging processes. A straightforward blood draw enables this advanced technology to examine glycosylation patterns, critical biomarkers linked to inflammation, immune response, and disease susceptibility.

This assessment provides crucial insights into your wellness: Is my body aging appropriately for my years? How much does stress affect my overall health? Are my lifestyle practices supporting or accelerating my aging? After laboratory processing, you’ll receive a detailed report displaying your biological age, immune system status, inflammatory markers, and customized recommendations for slowing or potentially reversing cellular aging.

Ideal for individuals committed to proactive aging management, enhanced performance optimization, or monitoring how nutrition, fitness routines, supplementation, and hormone therapies influence long-term health outcomes. Many Athens patients schedule annual testing to evaluate progress and refine their wellness approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is GlycanAge™ testing?

GlycanAge™ evaluates cellular aging by examining glycans, sugar molecules attached to immune cells, that reveal inflammation levels, immune function, and overall health status.

What makes biological age different from regular age?

Chronological age counts years lived, whereas biological age evaluates your body’s true condition through cellular indicators. Having a biological age lower than your chronological age indicates better health and slower aging processes.

Which markers does the test analyze?

GlycanAge™ examines glycosylation patterns on Immunoglobulin G (IgG), a primary immune protein. These patterns correlate directly with inflammation, stress responses, and lifestyle elements, including nutrition, sleep quality, and physical activity.

What sample is needed for testing?

The assessment requires a small fingerstick blood specimen that’s processed at a specialized laboratory. Sample collection is straightforward and performed at our Athens office.

How long will it take to receive my results?

Results arrive in 2–3 weeks. Your report includes an evaluation of your biological age, inflammatory status, and personalized lifestyle guidance to optimize your aging process.

Who should get GlycanAge™ testing?

Anyone focused on preventive wellness, longevity, or performance enhancement can benefit from this approach. It’s particularly valuable for individuals with a family history of age-related conditions, chronic inflammation, or those pursuing hormone therapy or lifestyle modifications.

Can changing my lifestyle affect my GlycanAge™ results?

Absolutely! Your biological age responds positively to lifestyle enhancements. Improved sleep quality, nutrition, stress reduction, exercise, and targeted supplementation can optimize your GlycanAge™ outcomes, making it an excellent tool for monitoring wellness progress.

How often should I get retested?

Most Athens patients retest annually to monitor improvements and refine their lifestyle and treatment approaches. Some tests are performed more frequently when implementing major health changes.

Will insurance pay for GlycanAge™ testing?

GlycanAge™ is a self-pay wellness service typically not covered by insurance. Many patients view it as a valuable investment in preventive health and longevity planning.

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.
