Flake-free scalp, for good.

Recurring dandruff is usually a low-grade skin condition called seborrhoeic dermatitis. We diagnose the exact cause (yeast, inflammation, hormones, product overload) and build a long-term control plan — not just another medicated shampoo.

Overview

Beyond the generic shampoo.

Dandruff isn't always "just dandruff." It's often seborrhoeic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, or fungal infection — each needing different therapy.

A trichoscopic scalp examination is the first step. We look for scale type, redness, inflammation, follicle health and specific patterns.

Treatment combines prescription-grade shampoos (ketoconazole, ciclopirox, selenium sulphide), topical anti-inflammatories, oral therapy when needed and scalp-care counselling.

For resistant cases, we add scalp mesotherapy, photodynamic therapy and nutritional workup. Goal: long-term control, not short-term suppression.

FAQ

Common questions, clear answers.

Is dandruff permanent?

It's chronic — meaning it tends to recur. But with the right regimen, most patients stay 95% flake-free for months between touch-ups.

Can oiling make it worse?

Yes, often. Malassezia yeast (the main dandruff driver) feeds on oils. We typically recommend pausing oiling during active dandruff.

Does stress cause dandruff?

Stress flares existing seborrhoeic dermatitis. Managing stress + following the treatment plan gives long-term control.

Do I need to keep using medicated shampoo forever?

Active therapy 6–8 weeks, then maintenance once or twice a week long-term. Once controlled, rotation keeps flares away.
