What is Keravive Scalp Treatment?

The company behind the wildly popular HydraFacial has developed an innovative solution for hair loss. Keravive scalp treatment targets the scalp to create an optimal environment for hair regrowth. 

Before you schedule your appointment, you’ll want to know if you’re a good candidate and what you can expect. 

Join us as we cover all the basics of this revolutionary hair loss treatment!

What is Keravive scalp treatment?

Scalp health is often overlooked as a cause of thinning hair. However, Keravive scalp treatment works to cleanse and nourish the skin on top of your head to restore your luscious locks. 

Here’s a bit more information on the process. 

How does Keravive scalp treatment work?

The HydraFacial Keravive scalp treatment uses gentle suction and exfoliation to remove dead skin cells on top of your head. Practitioners combine this with a proprietary formula containing niacinamide, arginine, Vitamin B5, and a special peptide complex to moisturize your scalp and promote hair growth. 

The treatment process is gentle and relaxing, and you can expect it to take between 30 and 60 minutes. 

For the best results, you’ll want to schedule three sessions over three months. Your skincare specialist will send you home with a spray to use daily between appointments. 

Who is the ideal candidate for Keravive scalp treatment

Most people experiencing hair loss can benefit from Keravive treatments. Anyone losing hair due to hormonal imbalance, environmental factors, or itchy flaky scalps can likely find relief from this non-invasive procedure.  Even clients with existing hair extensions can enjoy this treatment! 

However, some contraindications do exist. 

Clients with a history of skin cancer on the scalp might not be eligible for a Keravive scalp treatment. Those with active eczema or dermatitis must wait until their condition clears. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also postpone their sessions. 

Finally, patients using Accutane or similar medications must wait at least six months after their last dose. 

Can you cross treatments with Keravive?

Absolutely! You can use Keravive scalp treatment in conjunction with other methods to improve scalp circulation, such as microneedling with growth factors, platelet-rich plasma injections, and topical treatments. 

What are the steps involved in a Keravive scalp treatment?

Keravive scalp treatment includes three steps to help you get the best hair of your life! Here’s a breakdown of the process.

Cleanse

On the day of your appointment, you’ll want to show up with clean, dry hair that’s free of any styling products. Your esthetician will use HydraFacial Vortex Technology to exfoliate your scalp and gently remove excess oils and impurities from the treatment area. 

Most clients say this feels similar to a gentle, relaxing scalp massage. 

Stimulate

Next, your treatment specialist will apply a carefully formulated solution to your scalp. This infuses your follicles with growth factors and proteins that encourage new growth. 

You’ll allow the solution to air dry until it’s fully absorbed. For best results, wait six to twelve hours before washing your hair. 

Enhance

The final step of your Keravive scalp treatment is one you’ll do at home. Each day, apply one or two squirts of the peptide complex spray to the treatment area. Most clients do this before bed, allowing the solution to work overnight. 

This spray can supply your scalp with much-needed nutrients between sessions.

Keravive scalp treatment benefits

The HydraFacial Keravive scalp treatment encourages hair growth by targeting several factors that contribute to hair loss. Here’s an overview of some of the most significant benefits. 

Hydration of the scalp

Unfortunately, a dry scalp can lead to dry, damaged hair that’s prone to breakage. When you hydrate your scalp, you create a healthier environment for your hair, leading to stronger locks from root to tip. 

Proper moisture levels can also improve certain conditions, such as seborrheic dermatitis. 

Blood circulation is improved around the scalp

Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles, boosting their ability to generate healthy strands. So, when your scalp doesn’t have great circulation, your hair will show it. 

Keravive scalp treatment stimulates circulation so your follicles can operate at maximum capacity.

Reduced irritation and inflammation on your scalp

An unhealthy scalp can present in many ways, and inflammation is one of them. By cleansing impurities and product build-up from your scalp–and keeping your skin properly hydrated–you can soothe irritation and enjoy thicker, fuller hair without discomfort. 

It’s possible to experience mild itching or redness shortly after treatment, but this should dissipate quickly, leaving you with a healthy, well-moisturized scalp.
