Keravive Scalp Treatment in San Diego
Great hair starts at the root. For over two decades, Bespoke Hair has been dedicated to crafting exceptional hairstyles for San Diego locals, but we know that true artistry requires a healthy canvas. Just as a beautiful garden cannot thrive in poor soil, vibrant, voluminous hair cannot grow from a scalp compromised by clogged follicles, poor circulation, or dryness.
We are proud to introduce the HydraFacial Keravive Scalp Treatment to our service menu—a revolutionary step forward in holistic hair wellness.
While many clients focus heavily on the strands—investing in premium conditioners, masks, and serums—the scalp is often neglected. Yet, the scalp is simply an extension of your facial skin, requiring the same level of care, exfoliation, and hydration. By integrating this medical-grade technology into our salon environment, Bespoke Hair bridges the gap between aesthetic medicine and traditional hair artistry.
Transform Your Hair Health from the Root Up
If you are experiencing thinning hair, persistent dryness, or the feeling that your hair just won’t grow past a certain length, the issue often lies beneath the surface. Common concerns like product buildup, dead skin cells, and restricted blood flow can stifle hair follicles, leading to lackluster results regardless of how great your haircut is.
At Bespoke Hair, we leverage a 21-year legacy of hair expertise. Unlike a sterile medical spa where a technician might perform a treatment without understanding hair texture or styling implications, our team approaches scalp health as the foundation of your overall look. We combine the relaxation of a salon visit with the clinical efficacy of the Keravive treatment to restore your scalp foundation.
Key Insight: A healthy scalp is the prerequisite for natural volume and shine. Treating the scalp improves the structural integrity of the hair shaft as it emerges, leading to thicker-looking, healthier hair over time.
The Science Behind the "Facial for the Scalp"
What is the Keravive Scalp Treatment?
The HydraFacial Keravive is a unique, relaxing treatment designed to cleanse, stimulate, nourish, and hydrate the scalp for fuller and healthier-looking hair. It utilizes patented Vortex-Fusion technology to extract impurities from the scalp and hair follicles while delivering a proprietary blend of growth factors and skin proteins.
Think of it as a medical-grade facial specifically engineered for the unique microbiome of your head. The treatment works on a microscopic level to unclog hair follicles that are often blocked by sebum (oil), dead skin, and residue from styling products. Once the follicle is clear, the treatment infuses the scalp with a hyper-concentrated serum.
This process does more than just clean; it revitalizes. By removing the physical barriers to growth and increasing circulation, we create an optimal environment for hair to thrive. Clinical studies on the efficacy of the treatment have shown impressive results:
- 75% of patients reported an improvement in hair fullness.
- 82% of patients reported an improvement in overall hair appearance.
- 64% of patients felt more confident as a result of the treatment.
The 3-Step Keravive Process
The Keravive experience at Bespoke Hair is a comprehensive protocol that begins in our chair and continues in your home. It is a three-step system designed to deliver immediate gratification and long-term scalp health.

Description & Science |
| 1 | In-Salon | Cleanse & Exfoliate | We utilize HydraFacial’s painless Vortex Technology to extract dirt, oil, and impurities from the scalp and hair follicles. This step stimulates scalp circulation and physically removes the buildup that shampoos cannot reach. |
| 2 | In-Salon | Stimulate & Nourish | Once the follicles are open and clear, we deliver the Keravive Peptide Complex Solution. This proprietary blend contains hyper-concentrated growth factors and skin proteins to nourish the scalp deeply. |
| 3 | At-Home | Extend & Enhance | You will leave with a Keravive Peptide Complex Spray (included in the treatment cost). Daily use of this spray delivers ongoing nourishment and stimulation to the scalp, amplifying the results between professional visits. |
Deep Dive: The Power of the Peptide Complex
The effectiveness of step two relies on the specific biochemical ingredients infused into the scalp. We don’t just apply moisture; we apply science.
- Epidermal Growth Factors (EGF): These are proteins that stimulate cell growth and differentiation. In the context of the scalp, EGF helps revitalize the skin barrier and improve the health of the tissue surrounding the follicle.
- VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): This signal protein stimulates the formation of blood vessels. By encouraging micro-circulation around the hair follicle, VEGF ensures that the hair root receives adequate oxygen and nutrients from the blood supply.
- Peptide Complex: A specific chain of amino acids that signals the skin to produce collagen and elastin, strengthening the scalp’s structure and elasticity.
Why San Diego Locals Need Scalp Care
Living in Southern California offers an incredible lifestyle, but the local environment presents unique challenges for hair and scalp health. San Diego residents are particularly prone to environmental stressors that make professional scalp exfoliation a necessity rather than a luxury.
Combatting San Diego's Environmental Stressors
- Hard Water Buildup: San Diego has some of the hardest water in the country, rich in calcium and magnesium. Every time you shower, these minerals deposit onto your scalp and hair shaft. Over time, this creates a “mineral wall” that blocks moisturizers from penetrating and can clog follicles, leading to brittleness and scalp irritation.
- Ocean Salt & Sand: For those who enjoy our beautiful beaches, salt water is drying, and microscopic sand particles can become trapped at the root, causing physical irritation and abrasion to the scalp skin.
- UV Exposure: The scalp is often the most sun-exposed part of the body, yet the least protected. Sun damage can weaken the hair bulb and dry out the skin, leading to flaking.
- Active Lifestyles: San Diego is an active city. Frequent sweating from hiking, running, or yoga can lead to an accumulation of salts and oils on the scalp. If not deep-cleaned, this can alter the scalp’s pH balance and encourage bacterial or fungal issues (like dandruff).
The HydraFacial Keravive treatment effectively resets the scalp by physically removing these mineral deposits and environmental pollutants that standard shampoos cannot dissolve.

Who is a Good Candidate for Keravive?
One of the greatest advantages of the Keravive treatment is its versatility. It is suitable for almost all patients interested in improving their scalp health. You are an ideal candidate if you are experiencing:
- Scalp Flaking, Itchiness, or Dryness: Signs that the scalp microbiome is imbalanced.
- Hair Thinning or Shedding: Often caused by poor circulation or clogged follicles.
- Low Volume: Hair that lies flat due to heavy buildup at the root.
- Extension Wearers: Extensions can cause tension and make thorough washing difficult; Keravive restores health to the tension points.
Is it safe for color-treated hair? Yes. However, because the exfoliation process is deep, we recommend scheduling your Keravive treatment before your color service, or waiting at least one week after coloring to ensure the pigment has fully set.
Why Choose Bespoke Hair for Your Scalp Treatment?
You might find HydraFacial treatments at various medical spas in San Diego, but getting a scalp treatment at a dedicated hair salon offers a distinct advantage.
The Bespoke Difference: Hair Experts, Not Just Technicians
At a med-spa, the focus is often transactional—perform the procedure and leave. At Bespoke Hair, we view the Keravive treatment as part of a holistic hair strategy. We understand how this treatment interacts with your cut, your color, and your styling routine.
- Holistic Assessment: Our stylists can assess your hair quality instantly, distinguishing between damage at the ends and issues at the root.
- Complete Styling: One downside of scalp treatments at a dermatologist’s office is leaving with wet, unstyled hair. At Bespoke, you can book a professional blow-out or styling service immediately following your Keravive treatment, ensuring you leave looking salon-fresh.
- Warm Atmosphere: We pride ourselves on a family-oriented, welcoming environment. We combine the clinical results of medical aesthetics with the pampering and personal relationship of your favorite salon.
Frequently Asked Questions About Keravive Treatment
Does Keravive actually regrow hair?
While HydraFacial Keravive is not a drug and does not claim to cure baldness, it creates the optimal environment for natural hair growth. By removing the “sludge” blocking the follicle and improving micro-circulation via VEGF, it allows your natural hair to grow in thicker, stronger, and healthier. It is an excellent complement to other therapies like PRP or minoxidil.
How often should I get the treatment?
For optimal results, we recommend a series of three treatments, spaced one month apart. This aligns with the natural hair growth cycle. After the initial series, many clients opt for a maintenance treatment every 3 to 6 months.
Is Keravive worth the money?
When evaluating the cost, it is important to remember that the price includes the take-home Peptide Complex Spray, which is a 30-day supply of medical-grade growth factors. You are paying for both a professional service and a month-long home treatment regimen.
How does Keravive compare to PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP involves drawing your blood, spinning it to isolate plasma, and injecting it into the scalp with needles. It is effective but invasive and painful. Keravive is non-invasive, painless, and relaxing. Many clients use Keravive to prepare the scalp before PRP treatments to enhance the results, or as a needle-free alternative for mild to moderate scalp concerns.
Is there any downtime?
None. You can return to your daily activities immediately. We recommend waiting 6 to 12 hours before washing your hair to allow the peptide complex to fully absorb.
