HydraFacial Keravive is a needle-free, three-step scalp treatment at Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone. It cleanses, stimulates and nourishes the scalp to create a healthier environment for your hair.
At Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone, we often reach for HydraFacial Keravive when the scalp itself needs care, and that is frequently where healthier hair begins. Perhaps your hair feels thinner than it once did, or you notice a little more shedding on the pillow each morning. Maybe the scalp is dry, flaky, oily or congested, and either way Keravive is a gentle, reassuring place to start that suits both men and women.
HydraFacial Keravive is a three-step, full-scalp treatment that cleanses, stimulates and nourishes the skin your hair grows from, using the same HydraFacial vortex technology many people know from the face, adapted here for the scalp. That clears away the sebum, dead skin and buildup that clog follicles and leave the scalp in poor condition.
The idea behind it is refreshingly simple, because hair grows from skin, and skin that is congested, inflamed or dehydrated is rarely a good home for strong, healthy growth. Keravive works on that environment, deep-cleansing and exfoliating the surface before delivering a nourishing peptide and growth-factor serum into the scalp. The treatment finishes with a take-home spray you use daily for 30 days, so the benefit carries on quietly at home.
We think of it as a scalp-health treatment first and a genuine part of a wider hair plan second. For many patients it is also the start of a considered, longevity-minded approach to their hair, one that looks after the health of the scalp over time rather than chasing a quick fix.
Think of it as a reset for the scalp, where a vortex handpiece uses a gentle spiral suction to lift away buildup so the follicles are no longer sitting under a layer of oil and dead skin. Once the surface is clean and receptive, the treatment infuses the Keravive Peptide Complex, a blend of nourishing peptides and growth factors including HGF, KGF and VEGF. These signalling proteins are associated with a healthier follicle environment, better blood supply and a calmer scalp. The daily take-home spray keeps feeding the scalp in the weeks that follow, which is why the results build steadily rather than fading the moment you leave.
Every treatment starts with a short scalp check with your practitioner. We look at the condition of the scalp, the pattern of any thinning and how your hair is behaving. Then we confirm Keravive is the right choice for you. If your concern points to a medical cause, we will tell you honestly and route you accordingly. The same applies if a doctor-led injectable plan would serve you better.
Your practitioner works gently across the whole scalp with the HydraFacial vortex handpiece. This extracts sebum, dead skin cells and product buildup. This is the step that clears the follicles and creates a clean, receptive surface. Most people find it genuinely pleasant, and many notice an immediate sense of freshness and lightness.
With the scalp clean, the same vortex tip infuses the Keravive Peptide Complex directly into the skin. This nourishing blend of peptides and growth factors supports blood supply to the follicle. It strengthens the conditions around the hair shaft and calms the low-grade inflammation that can contribute to thinning.
The final in-clinic step saturates the scalp with hydration and the peptide serum, leaving the skin conditioned and comfortable. There is nothing to wash out and no downtime, so you can carry on with your day straight afterwards.
You leave with the Keravive Peptide Complex Spray, a daily 30-day scalp treatment included with each session. You apply it once a day and let it absorb, with no rinsing and no special timing. This at-home step is what carries the benefit forward between sessions and helps the results build over a course.
Every before and after we show is a real, consented Dr Joney De Souza patient. Results build gradually over a course and vary from person to person, so your treatment always begins with a face to face assessment.
From the first scalp check to your take-home spray, the whole experience is calm, comfortable and completely needle-free. A single session takes around 60 minutes, with no anaesthetic and no downtime, so you can walk straight back into your day afterwards, and here is what to expect at each stage.
You will have a brief scalp assessment so we can confirm suitability and understand your hair concerns. No special preparation is needed. We suggest arriving with clean, dry hair and no heavy styling products. Let us know if you use minoxidil or any prescribed scalp treatment, as Keravive sits comfortably alongside them.
The treatment takes about 60 minutes. Your practitioner moves the vortex handpiece gently across the scalp to cleanse and exfoliate. They then infuse the peptide and growth-factor serum, and finish by nourishing and hydrating the skin. It is a relaxing treatment, with a light, freshening sensation across the scalp and nothing sharp or uncomfortable.
There is no downtime. You can return to normal activities and wash your hair as usual the next day. Many people notice the scalp feels cleaner and lighter within the first few days. You then use your take-home spray once daily for 30 days. For a fuller result we usually recommend a course of three sessions spaced monthly.
Dr Joney De Souza Clinic is a doctor-led practice in Marylebone, a step from London’s Harley Street, and our reputation rests on careful assessment and honest advice rather than quick fixes, and on helping patients look after their hair for the long term. HydraFacial Keravive is a non-injectable treatment, so it is carried out by our experienced practitioners and therapists working under the medical oversight of Dr Joney De Souza and the clinical team. You get a skilled, comfortable treatment, and where hair loss needs more, a clear route to the doctor-led options.
Because we assess first, Keravive is never oversold or presented as a fix on its own. It is offered for what it genuinely does, which is to improve the health of the scalp and the environment your hair grows from.
“When someone comes in worried about thinning hair, I would rather understand why it is happening before we treat anything. Keravive is one of the best ways to get the scalp healthy, and for many patients that is the right first step. I am always clear, though, about what it can and cannot do on its own.” Dr Joney De Souza
A candid note on who Keravive is not for. It is not a treatment for advanced or complete baldness, where surgical options may be more appropriate. It will not by itself resolve genetic hair loss, and some hair loss has an underlying medical cause that needs proper diagnosis, which is exactly why we assess every patient first. Results build gradually over a course, and they vary from person to person, so ongoing scalp care is part of keeping them.
HydraFacial Keravive starts from £360 for a single full-scalp treatment, and every session includes your 30-day take-home peptide spray. For most people concerned about thinning or scalp condition, a course delivers the most worthwhile and lasting result. A course of three is £975, and a course of six is £1,950, and your practitioner will confirm the right option at your assessment.
If your goal is fuller, healthier-looking hair, Keravive is often the first step in something larger. It is the scalp-cleanse foundation of Hair Restore 360, our doctor-led combination protocol, which pairs the Keravive scalp treatment with regenerative injectable steps performed by Dr Joney De Souza. Starting the scalp on a clean, well-nourished footing gives those later steps a far better environment to work in, which is why so many patients begin here.
HydraFacial Keravive works in a very different way from injectable hair treatments. Patients tend to have specific questions about what it treats, how many sessions they need and who it suits. Here are the ones we hear most often at the clinic.
HydraFacial Keravive is a three-step, full-scalp treatment. It deep-cleanses and exfoliates the scalp, then infuses a nourishing peptide and growth-factor serum through the HydraFacial vortex tip. A 30-day take-home spray continues the treatment at home. It is designed to improve scalp health and create a better environment for hair to grow. It suits both men and women.
Keravive addresses the scalp conditions that hold hair back. These include follicle-blocking sebum and dead skin, congestion and oiliness, dryness, flakiness and product buildup. By clearing and nourishing the scalp it supports healthier-looking, denser hair. It is well suited to early thinning and increased shedding, though results vary from person to person.
Scalp clarity, comfort and hydration often improve within the first few days, once the buildup has been cleared. The look and feel of the hair itself improves more gradually. This builds over a course and with the daily take-home spray, as the scalp environment steadily improves. Timelines vary between individuals.
A course of three sessions, spaced about a month apart, is the usual recommendation. It brings a meaningful improvement in scalp health and the appearance of thinning hair. Each session builds on the last. A single session is a good way to trial the treatment. A course of six suits more stubborn scalp congestion.
Yes. Keravive works at the surface of the scalp rather than through injection. That makes it suitable for all hair types, textures, scalp conditions and skin tones. Your practitioner confirms suitability at your scalp assessment.
Keravive supports the scalp environment rather than targeting the hormonal driver of male pattern hair loss directly. It is not a standalone answer to genetic thinning. Many men still benefit from it as part of a wider plan, often combined with PRP for hair. We will always advise honestly on what is realistic for you.
Female thinning often shows as diffuse loss of volume across the scalp. This is a group who tend to respond well to Keravive. Improving scalp health and hydration can help the hair look fuller and more vital. This works best as part of a course and alongside good scalp care at home.
Yes, this is one of its strengths. The vortex exfoliation step is designed to lift away the buildup that causes flakiness, congestion and oiliness. It leaves the scalp cleaner, calmer and more comfortable. Many patients notice the difference immediately.
Post-partum shedding follows a natural shift in the hair growth cycle after childbirth and usually settles in time. Keravive can support scalp health during that period and help the hair look its best. We always assess first and are happy to reassure you on what is normal.
The Keravive Peptide Complex Spray is a 30-day daily scalp treatment included with every session. You apply it directly to the scalp once a day and leave it to absorb, with no rinsing needed. It carries the benefit of your in-clinic treatment forward between sessions. That is part of why the results build over a course.
Yes. Keravive and minoxidil work through different mechanisms and sit comfortably together. Minoxidil works best on a clean, healthy scalp, and Keravive helps create exactly that. Let us know what you use at your assessment so we can guide the timing.
Keravive is one of several ways we support hair health at the clinic. Patients most often want to know how it compares, or combines. Here is how it sits alongside PRP, polynucleotides and a standard facial HydraFacial. We also cover the practical points on cost, safety and booking.
They do different jobs. Keravive is a non-injectable treatment that cleanses and nourishes the scalp surface to improve the environment for growth. PRP for hair is a doctor-led injectable that uses your own platelets to stimulate the follicles more directly. Keravive prepares the ground, PRP works deeper, and the two are frequently combined.
Polynucleotides, or Plinest Hair, are a doctor-led injectable. They help repair and revitalise the scalp tissue and support the follicle from within. Keravive works at the surface to clean and nourish. One conditions the scalp environment, the other treats it at a deeper regenerative level. They pair well within a full programme.
The technology is related but the focus is different. A facial HydraFacial cleanses and hydrates facial skin. Keravive is built specifically for the scalp and hair. It uses a peptide and growth-factor complex tailored to the follicle environment, plus a take-home scalp spray. One is for skin radiance, the other for scalp and hair health.
It is usually the first step. Keravive is the scalp-cleanse foundation of our Hair Restore 360 protocol, which combines it with regenerative injectable steps. Getting the scalp clean and healthy first means treatments like PRP and polynucleotides work in a far better environment.
At Dr Joney De Souza Clinic, Keravive starts from £360 for a single full-scalp session. This includes the 30-day take-home spray. A course of three is £975 and a course of six is £1,950. Your practitioner confirms the right option at your assessment.
For the right person it is a sensible investment in scalp health. A course tends to give the most worthwhile result. If your concern is genetic hair loss, we will be honest with you. Keravive is best as part of a wider plan rather than a standalone answer. That way you spend on what will actually help.
No. Keravive is needle-free and comfortable, with a light, freshening sensation across the scalp and no anaesthetic required. There is no downtime. You can return to your normal day straight away and wash your hair as usual the following day.
Keravive has a strong safety profile. Because it works on the surface of the scalp without injections, side effects are minimal. They are usually limited to a brief feeling of freshness or mild tingling. We assess every scalp beforehand and carry out the treatment under medical oversight at a doctor-led clinic.
Very little. You can resume normal activities immediately and wash your hair the next day. The main step is using your take-home Keravive spray once daily for 30 days. You apply it to the scalp and leave it to absorb. Gentle, regular scalp care between sessions helps keep the benefit.
Keravive is a non-injectable treatment, so it is delivered by our experienced HydraFacial practitioners and therapists. They work under the medical oversight of Dr Joney De Souza and the clinical team. Where a hair concern calls for injectable treatment, that is carried out by Dr Joney De Souza directly.
We always start with a face-to-face scalp assessment. This lets us confirm Keravive is right for you and rule out anything that needs different care. Keravive is not bookable online, so please enquire through WhatsApp or contact the clinic. The team will arrange your assessment and session.
Yes, and it often is. Keravive prepares and nourishes the scalp. Doctor-led injectable steps such as PRP or polynucleotides then work on the follicles more directly. Combined within a plan like Hair Restore 360, they address hair health from the surface down.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
I recently had a HydraFacial with Roma and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Roma was professional and knowledgeable. She took the time to understand my skincare concerns and explained the treatment thoroughly.
I recently had the HydraFacial treatment and I can honestly say it was one of the best facial treatments I have ever had. The space is beautiful and calming.
I came for PRP hair loss treatment and so far really pleased with the results, have a few more sessions to go. Great clinic and lovely team.
I highly recommend Dr. Joney and his clinic. I have been his patient for many years and he is definitely one of the best. His work is natural and subtle, and he always puts the patient’s interest first and will never try to upsell unnecessary treatments.
