What is the scalp microbiome and why is it important?

Dr Andrea Echeverry is a microbiologist & immunologist who studies the impact of modern living conditions on the scalp microbiome.

She also offers SMP and specialises in camouflaging hair transplant scars. She works with transplant surgeons & dermatologists to promote the importance of the scalp microbiome.

We discuss what a microbiome is, and why do we need it!
We look at why microbes can be important, and how conditions like dandruff are a form of biofilm in dysbiosis, and how microbes can also be found inside the dermal papilla & hair follicles.

Dr Andrea also shares how hair transplants affect the natural microbiome, and what products mean when they advertise themselves as 'microbiome friendly'.
