How Can A Hydrafacial Help Your Hair?

With the winter months so harsh and unwelcoming to your skin, it is unsurprising that hydrafacial treatments at a specialist skin clinic such as ours have become a welcome relief for so many people.

However, whilst known for restoring a healthy glow to your skin, did you know that hydrafacial can have very similar results for your hair as well?

Known as Keravive, this version of hydrafacial is a deep clean of your scalp to remove the irritants, blockages and dry skin that can stop your hair from looking its best.

What is it? What benefits does it have for your hair, and could it even help you to grow it back?

What Is A Keravive Hydrafacial?

Keravive, or a hydrafacial for the scalp, is a cleansing treatment that is designed to bring the same benefits to your scalp and hairline as it does for the rest of your face.

Much like the traditional hydrafacial, which uses a combination of growth factors, proteins and light therapy to help boost skin renewal, Keravive uses a suction tool that simultaneously adds serums into the skin without any pain or discomfort. In fact, it is often as relaxing as a scalp massage.

It takes between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on your particular needs and the tailored treatment you have, and you can return to work as soon as it is done.

Can Keravive Help You Regrow Hair?

Depending on the cause of hair thinning, it can help to improve hair growth and fullness over time, and it can be used alongside other hair growth and restoration treatments such as minoxidil to further enhance your hairline and regrowth.

It stops your follicles from being clogged, which can, in itself, help to stimulate some hair growth and help hair regrowth products to work more effectively by removing the gunk and dead skin in the way, as well as open up previously clogged pores.

Better than this, a cleaner, fresher scalp allows your hair to grow back healthier, thicker and stronger.

Who Else Can A Keravive Treatment Help?

Whilst Keravive is suitable for most scalp types and hair conditions, it can particularly help:

• People who use hair products a lot: If you use dry shampoos, hairsprays or styling gels, they can build up over time in a way that clogs the pores of your scalp. Keravive can clear this away.

• Oily scalps: Keravive can help to clear away the oil and nourish follicles without causing damage or dryness.

• Dry scalps: If you deal with a lot of dandruff, the combination of exfoliation and hydration can reduce noticeable flakes and help your scalp feel less irritated.   

What Are The Other Benefits Of A Keravive Hydrafacial On Your Hair?

As well as the potential for a fuller head of hair, there are some other key benefits to Keravive:

• A boost to your scalp hydration, something that is not always possible with shampoos and conditioners, helping to clear up dandruff.

• Better blood flow around your scalp, encouraging healthier hair in the long run.

• Deep cleansing of oil, sweat, dead skin and product build-up, leading to a noticeably lighter, fresher feeling scalp.
