Understanding your concern

Scalp health

Comfort matters as much as how your hair looks. An itch, flakes or tenderness can affect an ordinary day. Tell us what your scalp feels like and what you have already tried, in your own words.

Notice how your scalp feels.

Think about itching, flakes, tenderness, oiliness or changes after a new product. A gentle routine may help with comfort, but ongoing symptoms should not be dismissed as simply cosmetic.

Know when to seek medical care.

Persistent redness, pain, sores, thick scaling or patches of hair loss need assessment by a GP or dermatologist. Seek advice before booking a cosmetic treatment on an inflamed or damaged scalp.

Keep your routine gentle.

Avoid picking or scratching, use products suited to your scalp and be mindful of tight hairstyles. If a product causes irritation, stop using it and ask a healthcare professional for advice.

Talk through your options.

Once medical concerns have been addressed, Becky can explain the clinic’s cosmetic scalp-care services, products and preparation so you can decide whether a visit fits your needs.

A conversation starts with you.

When you speak with us, start with your own experience: what looks or feels different, when you noticed it and what matters to you. Bring any medical advice you have already received. We can explain our services and their limits before you decide whether an appointment fits.
