Scalp Peels
Scalp Peels
We go to great lengths to care for the skin on our face and body. There are cleansers, scrubs, exfoliators, and even entire skincare routines built around this one step — exfoliation. But when it comes to haircare, most of us focus only on the strands. We invest in serums, masks, heat protectants… all for our hair.
But what about the skin from which our hair grows?
Yes — we’re talking about your scalp.
Despite being an extension of our facial skin, the scalp often gets overlooked. While we may wash our face two or three times a day, we only cleanse our scalp a couple of times a week — and even that, with shampoo alone.
Just like facial skin, the scalp accumulates dead skin cells, sweat, oil, and product buildup. On top of that, many people experience scalp-specific concerns like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, itching, sensitivity, or excessive hair fall.
Why to get a scalp peel done only by a dermatologist ?
Dermatologists analyse your scalp type and concerns (oily, dry, itchy, dandruff, psoriasis, hair fall) before choosing the right peel. The concentration and type of peel (like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid) vary based on medical diagnosis. Scalp skin is sensitive and close to hair follicles. Incorrect use can cause burns, hair shedding, or infections.
Dermatologists are trained to apply the peel safely and evenly, avoiding complications.
