Dandruff is a very common problem in men and women of all ages. At some point in life, you must have felt the nagging itch, and flaky white residue on your clothes that is so characteristic of dandruff. Treatment for dandruff is promised by every second shampoo in the market, but unfortunately, in some cases shampoos alone cannot be the right treatment for dandruff. Dandruff is mainly of two types – dry dandruff and wet or oily dandruff.
Dry dandruff
Dry dandruff is typically seen as white, dry flakes which fall from your scalp upon touching or shaking it. This is relatively easier to treat.
Wet or oily dadruff
This is also known as seborrheic dermatitis. In this condition, oily flakes of dandruff collect on your scalp and further attract oil and dirt. This can result in inflammation and itching. Treatment for dandruff in the case of oily dandruff treatment needs to be more specialized to remove both the oiliness of the scalp and the dandruff.
Treatment for dandruff involves the use of one or
more of the following specially formulated shampoos:
Ketoconazole
Ketoconazole containing shampoos such as Nizoral act as broad antifungal agents and can cleanse the scalp in the case of oily dandruff treatment. Ketoconazole shampoos can be bought over the counter or as prescription formulations.
Selenium sulfide
Shampoos containing selenium sulfide can often benefit patients suffering from prolonged cases of dandruff.
Salicylic acid
Formulation of shampoos containing salicylic acid act as exfoliants of the dead skin of the scalp and allow it to be cleaned thoroughly. This exfoliant action is often necessary in the case of oily dandruff treatment or seborrheic dermatitis.
Zinc pyrithione
Zinc pyrithione is a very broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal agent which is present in most advertised ‘treatment for dandruff’ shampoos such as Head and Shoulders, Clinic Plus etc. This cleanses the bacteria present in the scalp and hair follicles and helps prevent dandruff.
Some of the most commonly prescribed
treatments for scalp dryness & dandruff are as follows:
How does it work
The QR 678 ® therapy arrests hair fall & increases the thickness, number & density of existing hair follicles, leading to greater coverage in patients with alopecia. Since, the polypeptides used in QR 678 ® are always present in scalp full of hair (they get decreased in scalps which have hair fall), it is the enrichment of the scalp skin with these polypeptides which cause hair growth. Since these polypeptides are anyways normally present in the scalp, replenishing the scalp with these is not artificial and does not have any side effects.
The use of the QR 678 ® leads to better scalp nutrition, better scalp skin condition, reduced hair loss & significant hair regrowth. Existing follicles become thicker. And, dying hair follicles are invigorated and start growing again. Thus, there is an increase in number as well as thickness of hair follicles.
Unlike currently available hair fall treatments like minoxidil & finasteride, the QR 678 ® therapy is almost completely devoid of side effects. It is locally administered over the scalp skin by mesotherapy & as such is not absorbed into the systemic circulation. Unlike currently available hair transplant therapies like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) & Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), the QR 678 ® is non invasive, non surgical & therefore safer & more affordable.
The QR 678 ®therapy works very well in androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness & female pattern hair loss. The QR 678 ® therapy has also demonstrated encouraging results in post chemotherapy induced hair loss, treatment of hair conditions like scalp dryness, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis & in immunogenic diseases like alopecia areata.
QR678: SCIENCE Backed Research & Development Proprietary Product Technology
The QR678 research & development platform technology is a proprietary first-in-class technology. This science backed technology is giving rise to multiple products that arrest hair fall and address the thickness, density of hair follicles leading to greater coverage in hair loss. This R&D technology deals with multiple human hair growth related growth factors that are naturally present in our scalp making products derived from these completely natural. Research on this platform technology has resulted in this being awarded USA & Indian patents and has led to over 13+ clinical research papers being published with products derived from this unique technology. The hair growth factors penetrate deep into the scalp and provide nourishment to the scale. Unlike other treatments that contains harmful medication, products derived from QR678 are almost completely devoid of side effects.

Some basic latest treatment methods will speed up the healing: - Scalp Cooling: This is a FDA approved method for patients suffering from breast cancer. Scalp cooling or hypothermia results in constriction of the blood vessels in the scalp, which in turn leads to reduced delivery of chemotherapy to the hair. Scalp cooling devices consist of cooling unit that circulate the coolant on the scalp. This is done about 30 minutes before the start of chemotherapy. Patients can feel some mild discomfort, nausea, and dry skin because of scalp cooling. - Topical Minoxidil: Minoxidil helps by increasing the blood flow to the hair follicle thereby preventing miniaturization of hair follicle. - QR678® Neo hair regrowth treatment: QR678® Neo is a FDA approved, completely safe hair regrowth treatment that has no side effects or causes any discomfort to the patient.
