Beyond the Face
Your scalp is an extension of your facial skin and requires similar care. Dandruff is often a mild form of Seborrheic Dermatitis, an inflammatory condition triggered by a yeast overgrowth.
Traction Alopecia
Common among Nigerian women, traction alopecia is hair loss caused by constant pulling from tight braids, weaves, or ponytails. Early intervention by a dermatologist is crucial before the hair follicles are permanently destroyed.
Medical Treatments
We utilize clinical treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy and specialized medicated shampoos to restore scalp health and encourage hair regrowth.
