About this treatment
Dandruff is rarely dryness — it is most often Malassezia-driven seborrhoeic dermatitis or product-induced barrier damage. Amoura's protocol pairs medicated shampoos with in-clinic scalp resurfacing and barrier-repair serums, calibrated to your microbiome.
biotech The Science
The Malassezia yeast — present on every scalp — metabolises sebum into oleic acid. In susceptible scalps, this triggers an immune response and excessive keratinocyte turnover, producing the visible flakes. Effective control requires three simultaneous interventions: antifungal (reduce yeast load), anti-inflammatory (calm immune response), and barrier repair (restore the lipid skin envelope so the yeast can't re-colonise).

Clinical Result
Common questions
Usually no — most dandruff is fungal/inflammatory, even when flakes look "dry". Treating it with moisturiser alone often worsens it.
It can flare in stress, humidity, or with the wrong products. A long-term maintenance plan keeps it controlled.
For mild cases, sometimes yes. Chronic or moderate-severe cases need a clinic-led plan that addresses inflammation and barrier together.
No — controlling dandruff actually reduces inflammation-driven hair shedding.
Most clients feel significant relief within the first 7–10 days of the protocol.
No — Malassezia is naturally present on everyone's scalp; only some scalps react to it.
