HydraFacial Dandruff Treatment
Dandruff is a common scalp condition in which small pieces of dry skin flake off of the scalp with itching. Various factors increase the risk of developing dandruff, including a person’s age, the weather, stress levels, medical conditions, and choice of hair products . The big tip-off that an individual may have dandruff is the patches of white flakes on the scalp, made up of dead skin, that come loose in your hair. The flakes may be more visible if a person does not wash or brush their hair often.
The most effective way to treat and control dandruff is to take scalp treatments and medications.

Causes & Risk Factors of Dandruff
Dandruff can happen for a number of reasons:
Seborrheic Dermatitis
If you have a particularly bad case of dandruff, it’s likely a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis (SD) People with oily skin are often more prone to dandruff. The reason: A yeast called Malassezia globosa feeds on oils on the scalp. Some people’s bodies perceive this breakdown of oil as an irritant, so the scalp reacts by upping the speed at which skin cells renew, causing dandruff.
Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a skin irritation caused by either an allergen or an irritant, resulting in an itchy, possibly painful rash. And in the case of dandruff, that reaction is on the scalp. This generally occurs due to hair-care products or dyes
Dry Skin
Cold winter air dries out your skin all over, including your scalp, then dry skin may be the cause of your dandruff. When dry skin causes dandruff, the flakes are usually smaller and less oily than the flakes
Infrequent Shampooing
For those who are already at risk for dandruff, washing infrequently can worsen the condition
Sex Hormone
Androgen hormones, such as testosterone, stimulate activity in the sebaceous glands. More oil means an increased chance of an inflammatory reaction and dandruff. Men are more frequently affected by dandruff than women.
Oiling Your Scalp
Certain oils applied to the scalp can cover the scale, but worsen the flaking and itching.
