About Dandruff & Scalp Health Treatment Program
““Control flaking. Calm the scalp. Restore a healthier scalp environment.””
Dandruff & Scalp Health Treatment at KAC
Dandruff is common, but persistent flaking is not always caused by the same problem.
Scalp concerns may be associated with:
Dandruff
Seborrhoeic scalp tendency
Excess oil production
Dry scalp
Product build-up
Scalp sensitivity
Mild inflammation
Improper cleansing habits
Some conditions such as psoriasis, fungal infection, eczema or inflammatory scalp disease can look similar and may require medical evaluation.
At Karthika’s Aesthetic Centre, treatment begins with scalp assessment rather than immediately performing a generic “anti-dandruff spa.”
We evaluate:
Type and amount of scaling
Oiliness
Redness or irritation
Itching
Follicular condition
Hair shedding
Hair-care products
Washing frequency
Previous dandruff treatments
Recurrence pattern
The goal is to create a healthier scalp environment and reduce recurring symptoms through the right combination of professional care and home maintenance.
Treatment Procedures and Details
What Do We Assess?
• Flaking Pattern
Fine dry flakes and greasy scales may require different approaches.
• Scalp Oiliness
Excess sebum can contribute to recurrent dandruff in some clients.
• Redness & Irritation
Inflammation may suggest that the scalp needs medical review rather than simple cleansing.
• Itching
Severity and frequency are assessed.
• Product Build-Up
Oils, styling products and residue may worsen scalp congestion.
• Follicular Condition
Magnified imaging can help evaluate the scalp around follicles.
• Hair Shedding
Active scalp inflammation may coexist with increased shedding in some clients.
• Recurrence
Dandruff is often a recurring condition and usually requires maintenance rather than a one-time treatment.
From there, the plan may focus on:
Cleanse → Control → Calm → Restore → Maintain
Step 1 — Scalp Assessment
The scalp is examined for scaling, redness, oiliness, sensitivity and other visible changes.
Step 2 — Trichoscopy
Magnified imaging may be used to better understand scalp condition and follicular environment.
Step 3 — Scalp Cleansing
A professional cleansing protocol may be used to remove excess oil, dead skin and build-up.
Step 4 — Targeted Scalp Treatment
Depending on the concern, selected anti-dandruff, exfoliating or calming products may be used.
Step 5 — Scalp Support
Hydration or soothing care may be added where the scalp is dry or irritated.
Step 6 — Home-Care Plan
Appropriate shampoo, scalp products and washing frequency are recommended.
Step 7 — Review
Persistent or recurrent cases are reassessed, and specialist referral is advised when necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is dandruff caused by poor hygiene? Not necessarily. Oil production, scalp microbiome, skin sensitivity and individual predisposition can all contribute. Can dandruff cause hair fall? Severe itching, inflammation or scratching can contribute to temporary shedding or breakage, but dandruff itself is not always the primary cause of hair loss. Can one session permanently cure dandruff? Usually not. Dandruff commonly recurs and often needs maintenance. How often should I wash my hair? This depends on scalp oiliness, lifestyle and product use. An oily scalp often benefits from more regular cleansing rather than avoiding shampoo. Should I apply oil to dandruff? Not automatically. Heavy scalp oiling can worsen symptoms in some people. Can anti-dandruff shampoo be used daily? That depends on the active ingredient, scalp condition and product instructions. When should I see a dermatologist? Persistent redness, thick plaques, scalp pain, pus, crusting, patchy hair loss, bleeding or severe itching should be medically assessed. Is every flaky scalp dandruff? No. Dry scalp, seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis and other scalp disorders can appear similar.
