Keravive Scalp Treatment

“As a first-time client, my experience exceeded my expectations. I was nervous about the process, but Carol did an amazing job listening to my concerns and wishes.”

Keravive scalp treatment targets these common scalp and hair issues by deeply cleansing and hydrating the scalp. It removes excess oil, dead skin cells, and product buildup, which helps unclog follicles and create a healthier environment for hair growth. The treatment also nourishes the scalp with growth factors and proteins, improving moisture balance and promoting stronger, fuller hair while addressing dryness, flakiness, and thinning.

Hydrafacial®
Keravive Scalp Facial

Scalps can become dry, flaky, or oily due to various factors, including environmental conditions, hormone imbalances, and improper hair care. Dryness and flakiness often result from dehydration or irritation, while excessive oil production can occur from overactive sebaceous glands. Hair thinning and shedding can be caused by stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or genetics. Clogged follicles happen when excess oil, dead skin cells, or product buildup block the hair follicles, preventing healthy hair growth. These issues can all negatively impact the scalp and hair’s overall health and appearance.

Keravive can address all of these concerns by gently cleaning, exfoliating, and hydrating the scalp.

New update: I had a wonderful experience with Carol. She was professional, knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail to clearly explain my skin concerns. I’ll definitely be coming back!

She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!
