Seborrheic Dermatitis Treatment in Perth

Clinical assessment and personalised trichology care

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory scalp condition commonly associated with flaking, itching, redness, sensitivity, and excess oil production.

At Fernanda Paes Trichologist, in Perth, treatment goes beyond symptom control — focusing on calming inflammation, restoring scalp balance, and supporting long-term scalp health through individualized in-salon therapy and guided home care.

Understanding Seborrheic Dermatitis of the Scalp

Seborrheic dermatitis is linked to an imbalance in the scalp environment, often involving inflammation, barrier disruption, and an overreaction to microorganisms naturally present on the skin, such as Malassezia.

Although commonly known as “dandruff,” seborrheic dermatitis is not simply a hygiene issue. It is a condition influenced by internal and external factors, including stress, immune response, hormonal changes, lifestyle, and the gut–skin axis.

Symptoms may fluctuate over time, improving and worsening in cycles, which is why proper management — not aggressive treatment — is essential.

Common Symptoms of Seborrheic Dermatitis

Why In-Salon Treatment Makes a Difference

In Perth, many clients receive only a diagnosis — without therapeutic scalp care.

At Fernanda Paes Trichologist, seborrheic dermatitis is actively treated inside the clinic, using calming, anti-inflammatory, and balancing scalp therapies.

Treatment focuses first on reducing inflammation, then on restoring the scalp barrier, before any stimulation is considered.

Our In-Salon Therapeutic Approach

Each session is fully individualized and adjusted according to the scalp condition on the day of treatment.

Seborrheic Dermatitis In-Salon Treatment May Include:

Gentle, controlled scalp cleansing
Calming and antifungal masks or clays
Targeted exfoliation when indicated (never aggressive)
Use of Micro Mist (ultrasonic vapor) to enhance hydration and active absorption
Blue LED to assist in fungal control and inflammation modulation
Amber LED to calm redness and support scalp barrier repair
High-frequency therapy, when appropriate, to support scalp balance
Application of a calming scalp tonic, designed to remain on the scalp for ongoing effect

All techniques, actives, and technologies are selected based on scalp sensitivity, inflammation level, and treatment phase.

The Importance of Consistency — Results Are Not Overnight

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition.

Improvement comes from consistency, not from one-off treatments.

True results are achieved through:

Regular in-salon sessions

A personalized home-care routine

Ongoing reassessment of scalp response

Home Care & Long-Term Management

After assessment, a personalized home-care routine is recommended, which may include:

Specific shampoos suited for sensitive or inflamed scalps
Scalp tonics to support inflammation control
Guidance on washing frequency and drying techniques
Avoiding sleeping with wet hair
Avoiding mechanical irritation (scratching, harsh brushing)

When necessary, internal support related to inflammation and gut–skin balance may also be discussed.

Seborrheic Dermatitis Requires Ongoing, Personalized Care

Mesotherapy allows the delivery of selected therapeutic actives directly to the scalp, supporting hair growth in a controlled and personalised way.

Depending on the assessment, mesotherapy may include actives such as:

growth factors and biomimetic peptides
adenosine to support and prolong the anagen phase
circulation-supporting ingredients
anti-inflammatory and metabolic support actives

Mesotherapy can be performed:

with microneedling
or as a less invasive standalone option, when scalp sensitivity requires

Active selection and rotation are individualised and adjusted over time, respecting scalp response and treatment progression.
