Scalp examination
We assess scale, redness, inflammation, follicular changes and hair density.
SCALP • DERMATOLOGY • HAIR HEALTH
Diagnosis-led care for itching, flaking, oiliness, inflammation and scalp conditions that can affect comfort and hair health.
ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Flaking is not always simple dandruff. Seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, fungal infection and other conditions can produce similar symptoms but need different treatment.
Your concern, relevant history and treatment goals are reviewed before suitability is discussed.
The treatment pathway is adapted to your assessment, priorities and realistic goals rather than a fixed protocol.
Technique, intensity and treatment details are selected conservatively according to the service and your individual needs.
Aftercare and follow-up are used to assess response, support recovery and decide whether further treatment is appropriate.
TREATMENT FOCUS
Treatment planning focuses on the factors most relevant to this service, your diagnosis or concern, and safe, realistic outcomes.
We assess scale, redness, inflammation, follicular changes and hair density.
Topical or medical options are selected according to the likely diagnosis.
When shedding or thinning is present, scalp findings are considered within the broader hair assessment.
Inflammatory, infectious or scarring scalp disease is identified before cosmetic or supportive scalp treatment is planned.
IN MORE DETAIL
A scalp consultation looks at symptoms, distribution, hair loss pattern, products and medical history before recommending topical care, medication, procedural support or further investigation.
At Lumera Derm, treatment choice follows assessment. The aim is to match the option to the concern, skin or scalp condition, medical history and realistic goals rather than treating a service name as a one-size-fits-all solution.
YOUR VISIT
Each service follows the same principle: assess first, explain options clearly, then treat only when appropriate.
Discuss the concern, goals, relevant history and any previous treatment.
Confirm suitability, risks, alternatives and whether another pathway would be more appropriate.
Agree on a conservative, personalised plan with realistic expectations.
Follow-up is used to assess response and decide whether any further treatment is worthwhile.
SAFETY & SUITABILITY
Painful pustules, rapidly spreading hair loss, scarring, fever or severe inflammation should be assessed promptly rather than treated as routine dandruff.
