Dandruff Treatment in Beverly Hills
Dandruff is easy to dismiss as a nuisance, until you’re avoiding dark shirts and constantly brushing flakes off your shoulders. It’s a scalp condition rooted in yeast overgrowth, dryness, or an underlying inflammatory condition, and the right diagnosis usually clears it faster than another round of drugstore shampoo. At Skin Care & Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, our Board-Certified, Cosmetic Fellowship-Trained Dermatologists look past the flakes to find out what’s actually driving them.
What Causes Dandruff?
Dandruff has several potential causes, including:
- Overgrowth of Malassezia, a yeast that naturally lives on the scalp
- Seborrheic dermatitis, a more inflamed cousin of ordinary dandruff
- Dry skin
- Sensitivity to hair care products
- Underlying skin conditions such as psoriasis
The right shampoo aisle purchase depends entirely on which of these is actually at play, which is why so many patients cycle through products without lasting relief.
Treatment Options
Our physicians recommend treatment based on the underlying cause. Options include:
- Medicated shampoos
- Topical corticosteroids for inflamed or irritated scalp
- Prescription-strength antifungal treatments
- Personalized scalp care regimens to prevent recurrence
Long-Term Scalp Care
Dandruff tends to return once treatment stops, particularly for patients whose underlying cause is Malassezia overgrowth or seborrheic dermatitis. Our physicians typically recommend a maintenance shampoo schedule once the scalp has cleared, so patients can stay ahead of flares rather than starting treatment over from scratch every few months.
Are You a Candidate?
If you’ve cycled through several dandruff shampoos with little to show for it, the cause is likely something over-the-counter products aren’t built to address. Schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills practice and get an actual diagnosis, along with a maintenance plan that keeps it from returning.
