What if the secret to beautiful hair doesn’t lie in a complex 10-step product routine? What if it is as simple as scheduling the equivalent of a facial for your scalp? At Columbia Laser Skin Center in The Dalles, OR, we offer Hydrafacial Keravive, a unique version of the cosmetic world’s favorite go-to facial that is specifically tailored to treat the scalp and promote hair growth. This version of Hydrafacial cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the scalp so you can achieve healthier hair.
What Is Hydrafacial Keravive?
Hydrafacial Keravive is a scalp treatment that revitalizes and nourishes the scalp using advanced, non-invasive technology. As part of the broader HydraFacial platform (including treatments for face, body, and more), Keravive applies the same innovative vortex technology to the scalp in order to gently and effectively remove debris, infuse nutrients, and more.
The scalp is foundational for supporting robust hair growth and maintaining hair vitality. By targeting this important area, Hydrafacial Keravive seeks to foster an environment conducive to fuller and healthier hair.
How Does Hydrafacial Keravive Work?
Hydrafacial Keravive uses patented vacuum technology combined with specially formulated solutions to purify and invigorate the scalp. This method extracts impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells while simultaneously delivering enriching serums deep into the scalp’s layers.
This innovative approach to total scalp and hair rejuvenation uses a well-balanced and evidence-supported selection of scalp-boosting ingredients that combine to deliver powerful and sustainable results. Niacinamide safeguards your scalp against potential sources of stress and damage. The proprietary peptide complex blends both peptides and growth factors to enhance hair growth and strand health. Finally, vitamin B5 and arginine enrich and hydrate both hair and scalp.
What Does Hydrafacial Keravive Treat?
Low Scalp Hydration
Hydrafacial Keravive addresses issues of scalp dryness through its hydrating serum designed to replenish moisture and maintain the scalp’s natural balance. This treatment helps to alleviate dryness and promotes a healthier environment for hair growth by deeply moisturizing the scalp.
Clogged Follicles
The treatment employs a unique vacuum technology that effectively removes dirt, oil, and product residue from hair follicles. By unclogging follicles, Hydrafacial Keravive facilitates better nutrient absorption and allows for healthier hair development.
Dead Skin Congestion
A buildup of dead skin cells on the scalp can hinder hair health; Hydrafacial Keravive combats this through its exfoliating action. The process involves gently lifting away dead skin cells to refresh the scalp surface, which improves overall scalp health and hair quality.
Poor Circulation
Hydrafacial Keravive enhances blood flow to the scalp with its targeted treatment steps. Improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, which supports hair growth and rejuvenates the scalp environment.
What Are the Benefits of Hydrafacial Keravive?
- Gentle, Non-Invasive Treatments: By using a method that involves no cuts, needles, or downtime, Hydrafacial Keravive offers a comfortable experience focused on scalp cleansing and exfoliation. This approach allows patients to enjoy the benefits of a rejuvenating scalp treatment without the stress or recovery associated with more aggressive procedures.
- Fast and Convenient Appointments: Sessions typically last only about 30 minutes, and because they involve no recovery time, they can easily be scheduled into a busy day. The speed and efficiency of Hydrafacial Keravive benefits make it ideal for those looking to enhance scalp health without a significant time commitment.
- Technology-Driven Results: Advanced vacuum technology and specialized serums are central to the Hydrafacial Keravive process, providing targeted and effective treatments that promote scalp health and hair vitality. This high-tech approach ensures that treatments are both effective and consistent.
- Customizable Treatments: Tailoring the treatment to address individual scalp conditions and goals is a hallmark of the Hydrafacial Keravive approach. The ability to modify the serums and treatment intensity means that the Hydrafacial Keravive benefits can be optimized to meet specific patient needs, enhancing both satisfaction and outcomes.
- Enhanced Confidence: Having personally witnessed the confidence boost that Hydafacial Keravive can provide, our team at Columbia Laser Skin Center is committed to providing those same results for you. We know how damaging hair loss can be to self-esteem, which is why we’re passionate about the power of Hydrafacial Keravive to restore your confidence.

How the Treatment Process Works
Step One: Cleansing and Exfoliation
The first phase of the treatment involves removing impurities and dead skin from the scalp. Using specialized tools, Hydrafacial Keravive performs scalp cleansing and exfoliation, which helps to refresh the scalp’s surface and prepares it for the nourishing steps that follow.
Step Two: Hydrating and Nourishing
In this step, a proprietary blend of growth factors and skin proteins is applied to the scalp. This mixture, central to the Hydrafacial Keravive process, deeply hydrates and feeds the scalp tissues, promoting a healthier environment for hair follicles to thrive.
Step Three: At-Home Protection and Hydration
To extend the benefits of the in-clinic treatment, patients are provided with a specially formulated spray to use at home. This part of the Hydrafacial treatment regimen aims to maintain hydration and protect the scalp from environmental stressors, helping to sustain and build upon the clinic-based results. Make sure to follow your provider’s instructions regarding effective use of the take-home spray.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
From beginning to end, most patients can reasonably expect HydraFacial Keravive treatment to take 45 to 60 minutes. Once you’re comfortably situated, your provider will use the wand, or handpiece, to first cleanse and exfoliate the scalp before administering the growth factors and other nourishing agents.
Most patients describe the treatment as very relaxing overall, often noting a cooling sensation and gentle suction. Those with sensitive scalps may notice a bit of tenderness, but rarely to the extent that compromises the provider’s ability to administer the treatment.
During step two of the treatment (per above), the provider will put the handpiece aside and manually apply the peptide solution. As before, this should be comfortable and relaxing for most, but may require slight modification for those with sensitive scalps.
Finally, you will be provided with the Peptide Complex Spray for home use and given instructions on how to use the spray properly (alongside other aftercare guidelines). In most cases, it’s recommended that you wait until at least 8-10 hours after treatment before washing your hair.
While this covers the typical Hydrafacial Keravive process, it’s important to closely follow your provider’s instructions and guidelines, as each patient unique in how they present to treatment and what’s best for them going forward.
Hydrafacial Keravive for Hair Loss Following Weight Loss Injection
The link between popular weight loss injections like Ozempic and hair loss is not directly causal, but rather takes the form of an indirect correlation. Researchers are still refining their understanding of the connection, but so far, at least one clinical trial has found that weight loss medications are associated with a greater incidence of hair loss than placebo.
It is the significant decline in caloric intake and rapid weight loss, rather than a compound in the injections themselves, that causes a type of hair loss known as telogen effluvium. In addition to rapid weight loss, telogen effluvium can also occur after surgery, injury, advanced illness, and other traumatic situations as the body diverts focus away from hair growth and towards more survival-focused functions.
If you’re taking Ozempic not for its highly popular off-label use (weight loss), but for its primarily intended use (managing type 2 diabetes), you may already have hair thinning or loss caused by the hormonal imbalances, poor circulation, or other diabetes-related issues.
In these cases, Hydrafacial Keravive can help to thicken and revitalize the hair by nourishing the scalp, arming it against stress, and much more. Consult with our team at Columbia Laser Skin Center to see if Hydrafacial is the right option for you.
How to Enhance Your Hydrafacial Keravive Results
Thanks to the gentle nature of this dry scalp and hair loss treatment, the prep and aftercare processes are minimal and straightforward. Still, neglecting these steps may negatively impact your results.
Before your treatment, wash and dry your hair, making sure to avoid styling products or coloring. For at least a week prior to your Hydrafacial Keravive treatment, we recommend avoiding most other cosmetic treatments, including microneedling, scrubs, etc.
After treatment, it’s important that you use the take-home spray as directed by your provider, including massaging it in and leaving it on for several hours. As mentioned, washing your hair should wait until at least 8 hours after the treatment. The same goes for saunas, hair dryers, and hot showers (more like 24 hours).
As for hair care following your treatment, avoiding irritating products is recommended. Wash your hair with gentle shampoo—sensitive scalp products are ideal, as is the use of warm versus hot water. Avoid stressors to the hair as much as possible, including excessive pulling, twisting, exposure to chemicals and extreme temperatures, and so on.
With steady adherence to these practices, you can greatly increase the chance of Hydrafacial Keravive delivering optimal results.
FAQs About Hydrafacial Keravive
How Many Keravive Treatments Will I Need?
Hydrafacial Keravive is a hair health and maintenance treatment that you can schedule monthly to keep your scalp and hair as healthy as possible. While you will benefit from just one treatment, the best results come from a long-term treatment plan that utilizes this unique treatment to help promote hair health and growth over time.
How Long Does the Typical HydraFacial Keravive Treatment Take?
In most cases, Hydrafacial Keravive is an in-office procedure that takes between 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Factors that can affect treatment time include the size of the treatment area (full or partial scalp?) as well as each patient’s unique presentation.
What About Side Effects?
Hydrafacial Keravive is a safe and widely well-tolerated treatment for dry scalp and hair loss, but like all surgical and nonsurgical treatments, there is potential for various side effects. These include mild scalp irritation and/or itching, possible hair breakage, dryness, and tingling sensations. Most of these potential issues are temporary, and reverse course on their own. It’s also common to experience shedding of non-growing (vellus) hair, but this is not a sign that the treatment was not successful.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Hydrafacial Keravive?
The best candidates for this treatment are patients who have experienced hair loss, hair thinning, or poor-quality hair. Both men and women in different life stages can benefit from this treatment. Whether aging, hormonal changes, a medical condition, or pregnancy and the postpartum phase have affected the health of your hair, we can use this safe and effective treatment to help you achieve beautiful hair that you can feel confident about.
Can Hydrafacial Keravive Be Combined With Other Hair Loss Treatments?
The good news is that you can schedule this hair treatment on its own or as a way to help promote other hair growth treatments. Hydrafacial Keravive works alongside hair loss treatment plans that include oral or topical medications, PRP for hair restoration, and even laser or surgical hair loss restoration treatments and procedures. It’s powerful enough to schedule on its own and achieve incredible results, but it also helps enhance the results of other hair growth protocols.
What Results Can I Expect From Hydrafacial Keravive?
After your first treatment, you’ll see an improvement in hair fullness and health and dry scalp hydration. This treatment is effective for those who regularly deal with dry, itchy, or flaky scalps and can help resolve these concerns. Studies show that patients who followed a complete treatment regimen experienced fuller hair, healthier hair, and increased confidence.
When Will I See the Best Results From Hydrafacial Keravive?
While you may notice some initial results immediately following your treatment, the best results will appear in the weeks following your treatment and will continue to improve with each treatment you schedule.
At your initial consultation, we will design a treatment plan that’s right for you and provide you with details about what your unique plan will look like. Then, we will schedule your appointment with a few weeks between each to promote continued scalp health and hair growth.
