The condition
Flaking and itch may be simple dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis; psoriasis, eczema, allergy and infection can look similar. Persistent, painful or crusted cases, or those with patchy hair loss, need a diagnosis.

How Skinfinity treats this concern
After examining your scalp, your clinician may recommend a specific medicated shampoo or a prescription treatment. The exact product, active ingredient, dose and protocol have not been fixed in advance; they will be chosen and explained after your assessment.
The exact product, equipment, settings, route of delivery, number of visits and responsible clinician will be explained to you and recorded during your consultation; they should not be inferred from the service name.
Before treatment, we check the manufacturer’s instructions and the applicable Indian and local regulatory requirements.

- The dose and how to use it
- The treatment protocol
- The provider’s qualifications
- Whether any laser or machine is used
- Referral pathway
- The exact product and equipment used
- The settings and route of delivery
- The planned number of visits
- The responsible clinician
- The manufacturer’s instructions and applicable Indian/local regulatory requirements
What outcome can you expect?
Flaking and itch may reduce, but recurrence is common. This is not a permanent cure or a hair-regrowth treatment.
Ask us for a realistic, individualised plan rather than a guaranteed before-and-after promise. Where a condition may recur or continue, long-term management may matter more than a single cosmetic session.

Aftercare and long-term support
- Use the product exactly as instructed and keep it away from your eyes. Follow the maintenance advice, and stop and report any marked irritation.
- Seek care for oozing, severe inflammation or symptoms that persist after appropriate use.
- Keep your written instructions and attend your follow-up appointments.
- Patient photographs or measurements are taken only with your consent, with privacy protection and under consistent conditions.
Suitability, limitations and safety
We confirm the provider’s qualifications, the identity of the product, hygiene, contraindications, pregnancy considerations and a referral pathway.
It should not be assumed that a laser or machine is used unless this has been verified.
Your provider will confirm their qualifications and review your medical history, medicines, allergies, pregnancy considerations and any contraindications. We use sterile technique and single-use components where relevant, protect your privacy, and document your informed consent, the alternatives, the expected discomfort and the costs.
We do not proceed with an unexplained skin lesion or hair-loss pattern until a qualified clinician has assessed it.
Contact the clinic promptly if your symptoms worsen. Seek urgent medical care for breathing difficulty, severe pain, heavy bleeding, rapidly increasing swelling, neurological symptoms or any other emergency signs.
Regenerative or “stem-cell-like” claims — including those made for exosomes, Dutexomes, QR678, fillers and threads — are not described as approved or proven without product-specific and country-specific verification.
