What is HydraFacial Keravive?

HydraFacial Keravive is a clinically tested, non-invasive scalp treatment that combines deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and targeted infusion of peptides, growth factors, and skin proteins. Using HydraFacial’s patented Vortex Technology, impurities such as oil, dead skin cells, and product buildup are lifted away while circulation is stimulated. After the scalp is thoroughly cleansed, a concentrated Keravive Peptide Complex Solution is delivered directly to the follicles. This proprietary blend replenishes essential nutrients, supports a healthy hair growth cycle, and leaves the scalp hydrated and soothed. The three-part regimen finishes with a 30-day take-home spray that extends the in-office benefits. When performed once a month for three consecutive months, the treatment can noticeably enhance hair fullness, shine, and overall scalp vitality.

HydraFacial Keravive Results and Safety Considerations

Understanding how treatment technique, scalp biology, and home care affect Keravive results can help you set realistic expectations and feel confident in your decision.

Achieving Natural-Looking Results

Because HydraFacial Keravive works with your existing follicles rather than masking them, improvements appear gradual and authentic. By removing buildup and delivering targeted peptides, the treatment optimizes the natural growth environment, leading to hair that looks fuller without appearing artificially altered. Your overall results depend on factors such as baseline hair density, consistency with the at-home spray, and adherence to the full treatment series. Regular photographs help track progress and ensure your plan remains on target.

Where Are the Incisions?

HydraFacial Keravive is completely non-invasive and requires no incisions.

None (non-invasive procedure)

Because the scalp is not cut or punctured, there is no scarring associated with Keravive treatments.

Is Scarring a Concern?

Scarring is not a concern with Keravive, as the treatment relies on gentle suction and serum infusion rather than surgical techniques.

Healing Timeline

Most clients experience little to no visible signs of treatment after leaving the office:

  • Hours 1-24
    Mild redness on the scalp may occur and quickly fades

Day 2 onward
Scalp appears normal; hair feels clean and refreshed

Following aftercare instructions, such as delaying hair washing for 12 hours, helps protect your freshly infused follicles.

Understanding Risks and Safety

  • Allergic reaction to serum ingredients
  • Folliculitis in rare cases
  • Excessive dryness if aftercare spray is not used
  • Suboptimal results without completing the series

Dr. Song performed my breast implant surgery nearly 10 yrs ago with the ideal breast implant. I've had no issues in this time. I live on the other side of the country now, but I would've loved to come back for removal, since I'm on an all natural journey. I hope to find someone who can take care of me, keep me safe, & assured during & after surgery as Dr. Song & his staff did.

N. Snoozzz

Thank you Dr. Song. I’m 10 days post opp and am so happy with my experience with my mommy makeover! I can’t tell you how comfortable Dr. Song and his staff made me feel throughout this whole process. Surgery is a bit of a scary decision and sometimes I agonized about for years but I can promise you are in the best care with this team. I highly highly recommend them and am already so happy with my results !

Frequently Asked Questions About HydraFacial Keravive in Irvine, CA

Everything you need to know about HydraFacial Keravive, explained by South Coast Plastic Surgery's experts

About the procedure

How does HydraFacial Keravive differ from a regular HydraFacial?
While a traditional HydraFacial focuses on facial skin, Keravive is specifically formulated for the scalp with growth factors and peptides that nurture hair follicles.
How long does a single Keravive session take?
Most appointments last 30–45 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or busy schedule.
Will the treatment make my hair greasy?
No. The serums absorb quickly, and any dampness typically dries within minutes, leaving hair refreshed rather than oily.
Is there any downtime after Keravive?
There is no downtime. You can return to work, exercise, or social activities immediately after treatment.

Is HydraFacial Keravive safe for color-treated hair?
Yes. The treatment is gentle and safe for chemically processed or color-treated hair.
