Dysbiosis

Dysbiosis, A disruption of the microbiological balance that describes a change in the relationship between microorganisms and the skin environment.

What does "Dysbiosis" mean?

A disruption of the microbiological balance that describes a change in the relationship between microorganisms and the skin environment. In cosmetology and trichology, the meaning of this term always depends on the context: the site of occurrence, symptoms, duration of the problem, products used, and individual tolerance.

What is its practical significance?

Understanding the concept helps to better comprehend cosmetic descriptions, specialist recommendations, and the mechanisms occurring in the skin or hair. However, it does not mean that self-diagnosis of one element is sufficient to choose a therapy.

What should you pay attention to?

It is not advisable to evaluate a product, ingredient, or procedure based solely on the popularity of the term. Formulation, concentration, method of use, contraindications, and skin condition are what truly matter. Introduce changes one by one and observe the reaction.

When is a consultation needed?

If the problem is severe, recurring, causes pain, intense itching, inflammation, sudden hair loss, or a noticeable change in skin appearance, consult a dermatologist. A cosmetologist or trichologist can support your skincare routine and refer you to the appropriate specialist.
