What is Keravive/Scalp Vitamin Infusion?

Keravive is a professional hair and scalp treatment offered by some clinics and salons. It is designed to improve scalp health and promote healthier hair growth. The treatment typically involves a combination of scalp exfoliation, hydration, and infusion of vitamins and growth factors. This can help remove dead skin cells, unclog hair follicles, and nourish the scalp, which in turn can improve the condition of the hair.

Scalp vitamin infusions, on the other hand, focus specifically on delivering vitamins and nutrients directly to the scalp. This can be done through injections or topical applications. The goal is to provide the scalp with essential nutrients that support hair health, such as vitamins A, D, E, and B-complex vitamins, as well as minerals like zinc and iron.

Both Keravive and scalp vitamin infusions are aimed at addressing scalp issues, improving hair quality, and promoting a healthier scalp environment for better hair growth.

Indications for Keravive/Scalp Vitamin Infusion

Keravive/scalp vitamin infusion is typically recommended for individuals dealing with scalp and hair concerns, such as:

  • Dry scalp
  • Dandruff
  • Hair thinning
  • Hair loss
  • Damaged hair
  • Scalp irritation
  • Preventive care
  • Post-hair transplant care

What Happens During a Keravive/Scalp Vitamin Infusion Session?

In general, Keravive/scalp vitamin infusion treatment session may involve the following steps:

  • The session begins with a consultation where your healthcare provider assesses your scalp and hair condition. They may ask about your medical history, current scalp and hair care routine, and any specific concerns you have regarding your scalp health or hair growth.
  • Before the treatment begins, your scalp will be cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, or product buildup. This step ensures that the treatment ingredients can penetrate the scalp effectively.
  • For Keravive treatment, a scalp exfoliation is often performed using a gentle exfoliating solution. This helps remove dead skin cells, unclog hair follicles, and prepare the scalp for nutrient absorption.
  • A hydrating solution or serum containing vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is then applied to the scalp. This solution is specifically formulated to nourish and moisturize the scalp, addressing dryness and promoting a healthier scalp environment.
  • In the case of scalp vitamin infusions, a specialized blend of vitamins and nutrients is either injected directly into the scalp or applied topically. This infusion delivers essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, B-complex vitamins, zinc, iron, and amino acids directly to the scalp, supporting hair follicle health and hair growth.
  • After the nutrient infusion, your healthcare provider may gently massage the scalp to enhance blood circulation and promote better nutrient absorption. Alternatively, a treatment mask or solution may be applied to the scalp for additional nourishment and hydration.
  • The duration of the treatment session can vary depending on the specific protocol recommended by your healthcare provider. It typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.

Post-Treatment Care Instructions

After the treatment, your healthcare provider will provide instructions on how to care for your scalp and hair in the following days. This may include recommendations for gentle hair care products, avoiding excessive heat styling, and protecting the scalp from sun exposure. Maintenance treatments may also be suggested to sustain the benefits of the Keravive/scalp vitamin infusion treatment. The treatment does not require downtime or a recovery period. After your treatment, you can continue your normal daily activities.

Keravive/scalp vitamin infusion is generally well-tolerated, with minimal to no side effects. Some individuals may experience mild scalp redness or irritation, which usually resolves quickly.
