View profileWhat can realistically be done
Scalp examination first
Dr Shahid examines the scalp — dermatoscopy included — and identifies the condition before any treatment is chosen.
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'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 a first visit involves
- Your history and what's bothering you, in your words
- An examination and an honest plan, with costs in writing
- No treatment at a first visit
