Advanced Treatments for a Healthy, Flake-Free Scalp
Few things are as uncomfortable as an itchy scalp with visible flakes. In Perth, many people struggle with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, conditions often made worse by the dry climate, hard water rich in minerals, and everyday stress.
What many don’t realise is that dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia. This microorganism feeds on sebum, triggering inflammation, oiliness, flaking and itchiness. The good news? Dandruff can be effectively treated and controlled with specialised protocols.
At Unique Beauty & Style, we are one of Perth’s leading salons specialising in scalp health, with a certified trichologist available to provide accurate diagnosis and advanced treatments tailored to each case.
1. Dandruff vs Seborrheic Dermatitis: What’s the Difference?
Simple dandruff: occurs when the Malassezia fungus multiplies excessively, leading to mild, dry white flakes without severe redness. Seborrheic dermatitis: a more advanced form, marked by inflammation, yellowish or oily scales, redness, intense itchiness and, in some cases, hair shedding. 👉 Both share the same fungal cause — and with proper care, they can be successfully treated.
2. Why are these conditions so common in Perth?
Hard water: high in calcium and magnesium, leaves mineral buildup that irritates the scalp and worsens inflammation. Dry climate: reduces natural hydration, favouring flaking. Stress and lifestyle factors: increase oiliness, disrupt the microbiome, and support fungal growth. 👉 At Unique Beauty & Style, we go further by offering filtered showers that remove excess minerals from Perth’s hard water — ensuring healthier scalp care from the very first wash.
3. Our exclusive treatments for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis
Our approach goes far beyond standard shampoos. We combine technology, medicated formulations, and natural therapies for long-lasting relief: Medicated therapeutic shampoos Custom blends with zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, salicylic acid, colloidal sulphur and coal tar. Directly target the Malassezia fungus while reducing inflammation and flaking. Ultrasonic peeling with salicylic acid Removes thick scaling and excess oil. Unclogs follicles for better product penetration. Gentle keratolytic action, ideal for inflamed scalps. Soothing and anti-inflammatory masks Infused with niacinamide, panthenol, aloe vera and beta-glucan to calm redness and itching. Ingredients like bisabolol and Defenscalp® rebalance the scalp microbiome. Micro Mist with botanical infusions Ultrasonic mist improves absorption of actives. Botanical blends of lavender, calendula and chamomile provide natural antifungal and soothing benefits. Supportive technologies High-frequency therapy: antifungal and healing effect. Amber and blue LED light: reduce inflammation, calm itchiness and speed up scalp recovery.
4. What results can you expect?
With regular sessions, clients typically notice: Visible reduction in flaking and oiliness. Immediate itch relief. A healthier, more balanced scalp. Lighter, fresher hair with improved texture. Reduced risk of hair shedding linked to inflammation. 👉 While dandruff may recur without proper care, ongoing maintenance protocols and professional monitoring can keep your scalp healthy and symptom-free long term.
5. At-home tips to extend results
Wash hair regularly with the right shampoo for your condition. Avoid very hot showers, which aggravate inflammation. Do not apply conditioners or masks directly to the scalp. Use calming scalp tonics prescribed by your trichologist. Gently massage the scalp with a silicone brush to stimulate circulation.
Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are caused by the same fungus and can be successfully controlled with targeted care. The key is to treat the cause — not just the symptoms.
