Hydra Scalp Keravive: The Foundation for Healthier Hair

Hydra Scalp at Pura Vida Med Spa uses HydraFacial Keravive by Allergan - featuring patented Vortex-Fusion technology and the Keravive Peptide Complex - to deep-cleanse clogged follicles, exfoliate scalp buildup, and infuse biotin, growth factors, and hydrating peptides directly into the scalp to create the healthier, balanced environment that supports fuller, more resilient hair growth. As the scalp equivalent of a HydraFacial, Keravive is a needle-free, 30-minute treatment that addresses follicle congestion, scalp dryness, and early hair thinning at the root cause level - and is available at our Fulton and Marriottsville, MD locations as a standalone session or as a complement to PRP or Exosome Hair Therapy. If medicated shampoos and topical serums have not resolved your scalp dryness, thinning, or hair quality concerns, Hydra Scalp can treat those conditions directly at the follicle in a single comfortable session with no downtime.

At Pura Vida Med Spa, our Fulton and Marriottsville aesthetic team uses the original Allergan Keravive device and authentic peptide complex, and brings a personalized, integrated approach to scalp wellness that pairs naturally with our PRP and exosome hair treatments. Treatments are delivered at our 8110 Maple Lawn Blvd office and our 2470 Longstone Ln. suite, where our providers customize the protocol, take-home spray regimen, and any companion treatments to your scalp condition, hair loss pattern, and long-term hair goals.

Why Maryland Patients Choose Hydra Scalp Keravive

Clean, nourished scalp, visible difference

Like the skin on your face, the scalp accumulates dead cells, sebum, product residue, and environmental debris that clog follicles and stress the hair shaft. Over time, congested follicles can contribute to thinning, dullness, and slower hair growth. Many Fulton and Marriottsville patients tell us they have tried medicated shampoos, scalp scrubs, and topical serums without seeing meaningful improvement. They feel frustrated as hair density declines and styling becomes more difficult, but they are not yet ready for hair transplant surgery and want a non-invasive starting point.

Hydra Scalp Keravive solves that gap. Using Allergan's patented Vortex-Fusion technology paired with the proprietary Keravive Peptide Complex Solution, our aesthetic team performs a deep-cleansing exfoliation, peptide and growth factor infusion, and sends you home with a take-home peptide spray. The 30-minute protocol is comfortable, non-invasive, and pairs beautifully with our advanced PRP Hair Treatment or Exosome Therapy for patients who want to amplify scalp wellness and target visible thinning.

What Is Hydra Scalp Keravive?

Hydra Scalp is the clinical name for HydraFacial Keravive, a medical-grade scalp treatment from HydraFacial LLC (now part of Allergan Aesthetics). Its patented Vortex-Fusion tip cleanses, exfoliates, and saturates the scalp with a Keravive Peptide Complex, and the FDA regulates the platform as a Class I device.

Unlike a clarifying shampoo, Keravive lifts buildup from inside the follicle while delivering biotin, panthenol, arginine, niacinamide, and growth factors to the scalp, creating a clean, nourished environment that supports fuller, healthier-looking hair. It runs in three steps: cleanse and exfoliate, stimulate and hydrate, then extend with a take-home peptide spray.

During your consultation, our team will review your medical history, current hair care routine, and recent treatments to confirm Hydra Scalp Keravive is the right fit and decide whether to layer it with our regenerative hair therapies.

Cleanse and Exfoliate

Our aesthetic team uses Vortex-Fusion suction to gently lift buildup, dead skin, and oil from inside the follicles.

Stimulate and Hydrate

The Keravive Peptide Complex Solution is infused across the scalp to nourish follicles with biotin, panthenol, and growth factors.

Massage and Activate

A relaxing scalp massage works the peptide complex into the scalp surface to support circulation and absorption.

You leave with a 30-day Keravive Peptide Complex Spray to extend the benefits at home daily.

Personalized Plan

Your provider builds a 1 to 3 session protocol and reviews layering options with PRP or exosome therapy.

Side Effects and Safety

Hydra Scalp Keravive is one of the safest in-office scalp treatments available, with an excellent tolerability profile across hair types and skin tones.

Most patients experience no side effects beyond a temporary feeling of dampness or mild tingling on the scalp during the peptide infusion. Because the protocol is needle-free and uses no harsh acids or heat, the risk of irritation, scabbing, or follicular trauma is very low compared with microneedling or chemical peel approaches to scalp care. Possible mild and temporary effects can include slight scalp tightness, transient redness, or a brief tingling sensation during peptide application.

Rare side effects include localized scalp irritation in patients with active seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis, mild dryness if medicated shampoos are reintroduced too quickly, or sensitivity in patients with very reactive skin. Allergic reactions to specific Keravive ingredients are uncommon but possible. Notify our team about peptide, biotin, or fragrance allergies before treatment.

01 How long does a Hydra Scalp Keravive treatment take?

A standard Hydra Scalp Keravive treatment at Pura Vida Med Spa takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, including the scalp massage that activates the peptide complex.

02 How many sessions of Hydra Scalp do I need?

Most patients benefit from a series of three Keravive treatments spaced four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every one to three months depending on scalp condition and hair goals.

03 Does Hydra Scalp Keravive hurt?

No. Patients describe the experience as a relaxing, cool scalp massage with gentle suction. There are no needles, no heat, and no recovery time.

04 Can Hydra Scalp regrow lost hair?

Keravive is designed to optimize scalp health, which can support fuller and healthier-looking hair. For visible regrowth, our team typically pairs Keravive with PRP Hair Treatment or Exosome Therapy.

05 Is Hydra Scalp safe for color-treated or textured hair?

Yes. Hydra Scalp Keravive is safe for all hair types, including color-treated, relaxed, chemically processed, and textured hair. The protocol focuses on the scalp, not the hair shaft.

06 Can I wash my hair after Hydra Scalp?

We recommend waiting at least 6 hours before shampooing so the Keravive peptide complex can fully absorb. After that, you can resume your regular hair care routine.

07 How is Hydra Scalp different from a scalp facial at a salon?

Hydra Scalp is a medical-grade treatment performed with Allergan's patented Vortex-Fusion device and the authentic Keravive Peptide Complex Solution. Salon scalp facials rely on manual massage and topical shampoos and do not deliver the same depth of cleanse or peptide infusion.
