There are several factors can contribute to dandruff, including:
-
Stress: Long-term stress can worsen skin conditions like dandruff.
-
Dry air: Spending time in environments with air conditioning can dry out the scalp and contribute to flaking.
-
Improper hair care: Using harsh products or not shampooing frequently enough can irritate the scalp.
-
Climate changes: Seasonal changes or dry climates can also affect scalp health.
-
Genetics: Some individuals may be predisposed to increased skin cell turnover, leading to dandruff.
While temporary dandruff can be unsightly and irritating, it's typically harmless and more of a cosmetic concern than a medical issue. However, most people naturally want to manage or eliminate it. It's important to note that dandruff affects people of all genders and ages.

What is Dandruff?
Dandruff appears as fine, white flakes shed from the scalp, often accompanied by itching and redness. This occurs due to a specific type of yeast, Malassezia ovalis, naturally present on the scalp. Individuals with heightened sensitivity to this yeast experience inflammation and excessive skin cell growth. These excess cells clump together and shed as flakes, causing the characteristic itchiness. Scratching further irritates the scalp and worsens the condition.
How to Manage Dandruff:
While various home remedies exist, consulting a skin specialist is recommended, as self-treatment might not address the underlying cause. At Aesthetic Solutions, we prioritize your well-being by conducting a thorough scalp analysis using the Chowis Scalp Analyzer. Upon confirming dandruff and ruling out other disorders, we may recommend Hair Meso Peel by Theraderm based on the severity. This treatment gently exfoliates and clarifies the scalp pores, promoting overall scalp health.
