Current Understanding of the Scalp Microbiome: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

It’s always fascinating to learn how our environment shapes every aspect of our being and that holds true for scalp health as well. We are excited to welcome our very own Dr. Andrea Echeverry who will join us for our monthly webinar series to share her knowledge about the scalp microbiome.

This webinar aims to provide an in-depth exploration of the intricacies surrounding skin and scalp microbial populations. Throughout the session, Dr. Echeverry will:

• Introduce the audience to basic terminology and concepts related to skin/scalp microbial populations. 

• Provide current understanding of skin/scalp microbiome composition and function. 

• Describe microbial populations associated with scalp conditions. 

• Propose some mechanisms of action of the microbiome as it relates to hair follicle, scalp and hair health.

• Delineate some guidelines for identifying unsubstantiated claims in the “microbiome friendly” market. 

• Provide reliable sources of information and research in the skin/scalp microbiome field. 

Whether you're a seasoned hair loss professional or new to the field of Trichology, this talk offers valuable insights and practical knowledge to enhance your understanding and approach to managing hair loss conditions that may be driven by imbalance in the scalp microbiome.
