Yes. Currently there is limited data regarding the effect of the lipid-lowering therapy and the resulting PREVU* POC Test score. However, preliminary findings indicate that the PREVU* POC Test skin cholesterol score decreases while on statins from where the original score was prior to the pharmacological therapy.7 As the skin is the second largest area for the body to rid itself of cholesterol, this may indicate the effectiveness of the cholesterol being removed from the body.
