    tailoring medical treatment to individual genetic and lifestyle factors

    Personalized Medicine, also known as Precision Medicine, is a medical approach that tailors treatment and healthcare strategies to the individual characteristics of each patient. This can include genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors, allowing for more effective and targeted therapies. For example, in the context of alopecia, personalized medicine might involve genetic testing to determine the most effective treatment plan based on a person's unique genetic profile.
