Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hydrafacial Keravive Treatment.

The Keravive protocol cleanses and exfoliates the scalp, then applies a hydrating peptide-rich serum while using a gentle vacuum to stimulate follicles. This hydrates, removes buildup, and promotes a healthier scalp environment for improved hair appearance over time.

Most clients report little to no discomfort. The procedure feels like a gentle scalp massage with mild suction. Any sensitivity is brief, and providers adjust pressure and products to ensure a comfortable, relaxing experience.

A typical protocol recommends three monthly sessions to achieve optimal scalp hydration and follicle stimulation, followed by maintenance treatments every three to six months. Your provider will tailor frequency based on scalp condition and desired results.

Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, including slight redness, tingling, or temporary sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Some clients experience minor flaking as impurities shed. Follow aftercare guidance to minimize any irritation.

Ideal candidates have dry, flaky, oily scalps, buildup, or thinning hair seeking improved scalp health. Those with active scalp infections, severe dermatitis, or recent hair transplant surgery should consult a provider before treatment.

Arrive with clean, dry hair and avoid heavy styling products the day of your session. Inform your provider about medications, scalp conditions, or recent procedures. You may be asked to avoid chemical treatments 48–72 hours beforehand.
