HTMA Hair Mineral Testing in Dallas

Searching for hair mineral analysis or heavy-metal testing in Dallas? HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) brings at-home hair mineral testing across the metroplex — from Uptown and Oak Cliff to the northern suburbs — with no appointment and no waiting room. A small hair sample is analyzed by Trace Elements, Inc. in Addison, Texas — a CLIA-certified laboratory (per the laboratory) using ICP-Mass Spectrometry — for a laboratory panel of nutrient minerals and toxic metals, including the zinc-to-copper ratio. Dallas residents order online and collect at home, with lab results typically sent to us 10–14 days after the lab receives your sample. Orders are accepted from eligible US states; we do not currently accept orders from New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island (order eligibility).

How to get an HTMA test in Dallas

HTMA is an at-home hair test, so there's no lab or wellness clinic to visit in Dallas — the whole process runs from home:

1. Order online. Pick your HTMA package — no doctor's referral needed. Your sample is submitted to the lab under our practitioner account.
2. Collect at home. Instructions and your submission form arrive by email (no physical kit). Cut small clippings from 3–4 areas near the scalp (ideally the nape of the neck), as your emailed instructions explain, and mail them in a plain paper envelope inside a larger mailing envelope with your completed submission form.
3. Get your laboratory results. Trace Elements, Inc. analyzes your sample by ICP-MS. Results are typically sent to us 10–14 days after the lab receives your sample, and we email you once they arrive. See a sample report.

DFW's fast-growing wellness market

Dallas–Fort Worth is one of the country's fastest-growing metros, and the wellness market has grown right along with it. Concierge and functional-medicine clinics, recovery studios and boutique fitness have spread through Uptown, the Bishop Arts District and the booming Plano–Frisco corridor, drawing professionals and transplant families interested in health data. HTMA measures the concentration of selected elements in the hair specimen you submit; it is a different specimen from blood and does not replace medical assessment or blood work. It is not a test for sleep or fatigue, and supplement decisions belong in a conversation with a licensed healthcare professional.

What HTMA measures

Whether you searched "hair mineral analysis Dallas," "heavy metal testing DFW," or "HTMA near me," one laboratory panel includes both — nutrient minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium and zinc, and toxic metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium and aluminum. Each element is reported against the laboratory's reference intervals; a result outside an interval is not a diagnosis of deficiency or toxicity, and a result inside one does not mean a level is safe. Our article on heavy-metal exposure covers common sources. New to it? Read what HTMA is before you order.
