Scalp health

Flaking, itching, shedding — the foundation under everything.

What's going on

A scalp that is inflamed, flaky or congested cannot grow good hair. Seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis and simple product build-up all quietly undermine density — and all are treatable.

Scalp health is the unglamorous foundation of every hair result. We assess and treat it first, because nothing layered on top of an unhealthy scalp performs.

Why it happens

  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis
  • Product build-up and infrequent cleansing
  • Inflammation from many causes
  • Stress and seasonal change

What can realistically be done

Diagnosis

Dr Shahid identifies the scalp condition and treats it medically.

Treatment of the condition

Prescription and non-prescription care, properly managed.

Scalp treatments

Needling and regenerative therapy once the foundation is calm.

What can't

Scalp treatment is maintenance medicine, not a one-off — conditions like seborrhoeic dermatitis recur without ongoing care. We build that into the plan.

What a first visit involves

Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
