What is Dandruff Treatment?
Targeted Medical Therapy for Flake-Free, Healthy Scalp
Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterised by flaking skin, most often caused by an overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia globosa, excess sebum production, or inflammatory scalp conditions such as Seborrheic Dermatitis. According to global dermatological data, Seborrheic Dermatitis affects approximately 3–5% of the global population, with significantly higher prevalence in humid climates like Pune. Self-treating with over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoos delivers only temporary surface-level relief.
At ARIIX HAIR AND SKIN CLINIC, Dr. Abhimanyu Jagtap (MD (Dermatology)) uses digital trichoscopy to precisely diagnose the type of scalp condition — dry dandruff, oily dandruff (Seborrhoeic Dermatitis), scalp eczema, or psoriasis — and prescribes customised clinical protocols including medical-grade scalp peels (salicylic acid, glycolic acid), antifungal agents, and anti-inflammatory therapies for lasting scalp health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dandruff Treatment FAQs
What is the dandruff treatment cost in Pune?
At Ariix Clinic, a dandruff consultation is Rs. 500. Scalp peeling and deep-cleansing clinic treatments cost between Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 3,500 per session. Prescriptions cost Rs. 800 to Rs. 1,500 monthly.
Can dandruff cause hair loss?
Dandruff itself doesn't directly cause hair loss. However, severe dandruff causes itching, leading to scratching which can damage hair roots. The inflammation associated with seborrheic dermatitis can also weaken hair follicles.
Why does my dandruff keep coming back?
Dandruff can recur due to oily scalp conditions, stress, weather changes, infrequent washing, or Malassezia yeast overgrowth. A dermatologist-designed maintenance wash routine helps keep the scalp fungus in check.
How is clinical dandruff treatment better than cosmetic shampoo?
Cosmetic shampoos only wash away surface flakes temporarily. Clinical treatments address yeast overgrowth, reduce oil gland hyperactivity, and use medical-grade exfoliators to clear follicle clogging.
What is a scalp peel treatment?
A scalp peel uses mild alpha or beta hydroxy acids (like salicylic acid) to dissolve the sticky sebum bonds holding dead skin cells (dandruff) together, allowing them to be washed away gently.
How often should I wash my hair if I have dandruff?
We generally recommend washing your hair 3 times a week with a prescribed medicated shampoo, leaving the lather on the scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing.
What foods cause or worsen dandruff?
Diet plays a meaningful role in scalp health. Foods that can worsen dandruff include refined sugars, processed foods, excessive dairy, alcohol, and high-saturated-fat foods — as these promote yeast (Malassezia) overgrowth and excess sebum production. Conversely, zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, chickpeas), omega-3 fatty acids (flaxseeds, walnuts, fatty fish), and probiotic foods (curd, fermented foods) help regulate scalp microbiome balance and reduce inflammation. Dr. Abhimanyu Jagtap provides personalised dietary guidance alongside clinical scalp treatment for long-term dandruff control.
