Oily Scalp
Excess oil can make the scalp feel greasy and may contribute to buildup or discomfort. Hair-washing frequency and product choice should be adapted to individual scalp and hair needs.

A Better Foundation for Hair Care
Personalized scalp care starts by understanding what your scalp needs rather than treating every scalp the same way.
Scalp-Focused Care
Balance. Comfort. Healthy Scalp.
Scalp symptoms can have different causes.
Dryness, flaking, oiliness and itching can overlap with conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis or irritation from hair-care products. Persistent or significant symptoms should be assessed professionally rather than treated by guesswork.
Understanding Your Scalp
Healthy Hair

Starts With a
Healthy Scalp.
The scalp is living skin and can respond to changes in oil production, dryness, hair-care habits, environmental conditions and underlying skin conditions. A scalp that feels uncomfortable or repeatedly develops flakes and irritation may need more than a simple change of shampoo.
The Scalp Health Programme is designed to look at the condition of the scalp as part of your overall hair and scalp goals. Your care plan can then be adjusted according to your individual concerns and professional assessment.
Scalp-First Approach
Instead of focusing only on the visible hair, the programme considers the scalp environment, symptoms and daily care routine that may influence overall hair and scalp health.
Common Concerns
What Can Affect
What Can Affect
Scalp Comfort?
Dry Scalp
Dryness may cause tightness, discomfort or visible flakes. A dry scalp is not always the same as dandruff, so identifying the underlying issue is important.
Flaking & Dandruff
Persistent flakes can have several causes. Appropriate scalp care depends on whether the problem is simple dandruff, irritation or another scalp condition.
Itching & Irritation
Itching, burning or sensitivity may be associated with scalp conditions or reactions to hair-care products. Repeated symptoms deserve proper assessment.

Everyday Scalp Care

Support Better
Scalp Health.
Everyday scalp care should be gentle and appropriate for your hair type and scalp condition. Washing frequency, product selection and how products are applied can all matter.
Choose products for your scalp needs
Hair and scalp products should match your hair type and individual scalp condition rather than simply following a universal routine.
Clean the scalp appropriately
Regular washing helps remove oil, dead skin cells and product buildup. Washing frequency can vary according to hair type and how oily or dry your scalp becomes.
Avoid unnecessary irritation
Strong fragrances, harsh products, excessive heat or aggressive scratching may irritate a sensitive scalp.
Pay attention to persistent symptoms
If itching, scaling, burning or irritation continues despite routine care, professional assessment can help identify the cause.

Programme FAQ.
What is the Scalp Health Programme?
The Scalp Health Programme is a personalized approach focused on understanding your scalp condition, identifying your main concerns and developing an appropriate scalp-care plan. It may be useful for people experiencing oiliness, dryness, flaking, sensitivity, itching or general scalp discomfort.
Who may benefit from a scalp assessment?
A scalp assessment may be useful if you have recurring flakes, excessive oiliness, dryness, itching, sensitivity, irritation or concerns about the condition of your scalp alongside hair thinning.
Is dry scalp the same as dandruff?
Not necessarily. Dry scalp and dandruff can produce similar-looking flakes, but they can have different causes and may require different approaches. Persistent symptoms should be assessed if simple changes in routine do not help.
Can scalp problems cause hair loss?
Some scalp conditions can occur alongside hair shedding or hair loss, while hair loss itself can have many different causes. If you are experiencing noticeable or persistent hair loss, a hair and scalp consultation can help determine what should be investigated.
How often should I wash my hair?
There is no single washing schedule that works for everyone. Hair type, scalp oiliness, lifestyle and any scalp condition can influence how frequently you should wash your hair. A personalized routine may be recommended based on your needs.
Can hair products irritate the scalp?
Yes. Some hair-care or styling products can irritate sensitive skin or contribute to dryness. If irritation repeatedly occurs after using a particular product, discuss it during your assessment.
Can international patients receive the Scalp Health Programme in Seoul?
International patients can contact the Seoul Skin team before traveling to Seoul to discuss their scalp concerns, consultation requirements and appointment arrangements.
