Targeted Scalp Health & Flake Control
Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterized by flaking, itching, and localized scalp irritation. If left unmanaged, persistent scalp inflammation can weaken hair roots and contribute to hair shedding.
Types of Dandruff: Dry vs. Oily (Seborrheic)
Dry Scalp Flaking
Small, white, dry flakes that shed easily onto clothing. Often caused by dehydration, harsh shampoos, cold weather, or low humidity.
Oily / Wet Scalp Flaking (Seborrheic Dermatitis)
Thicker, yellowish, sticky scales that adhere to hair shafts and scalp. Caused by excess sebum production and Malassezia yeast overgrowth.
Causes & Contributing Factors
- Inadequate scalp hydration and low water intake.
- Frequent use of harsh cleansers or heat styling.
- Malassezia fungal overgrowth triggered by oily scalp environment.
- Stress, hormonal shifts, and weather changes (winter flare-ups).

Treatment at Revitalize Clinic combines anti-fungal medicated shampoos, scalp detox peels, and barrier-restoring topical care.
