A 3-step treatment that cleanses follicle buildup, delivers 6 growth factors and extends results with a 30-day take-home spray
HydraFacial Keravive in Oxford at Cannelle Skin Clinic suits men and women who want to improve scalp health and support natural hair growth without needles, surgery or downtime. It is particularly well suited to anyone experiencing hair thinning, a flaky or congested scalp, or a loss of hair volume who wants a comfortable and evidence-based treatment. Keravive is also an excellent complement to injectable hair treatments such as PRP, adding scalp cleansing and nourishment that enhances the follicular environment alongside deeper treatments.
HydraFacial Keravive suits anyone experiencing one or more of the following:
• Hair thinning and reduced hair volume
• A flaky, congested or oily scalp
• Follicle buildup blocking healthy hair growth
• Dull, dry or brittle hair lacking vitality
• Scalp sensitivity or irritation
• Hair thinning following stress, illness or hormonal change
• Anyone seeking a comfortable, non-injectable scalp treatment
Keravive works best when the underlying hair follicles are still active but compromised by a poor scalp environment. Specifically, by removing the buildup that blocks follicles and delivering growth factors directly to the scalp, the treatment supports the conditions needed for stronger and healthier hair growth. A consultation at Cannelle will confirm whether Keravive is the right fit or whether a combination approach with PRP or other treatments would deliver a better outcome. In practice, for patients already using minoxidil or other topical hair treatments, Keravive provides a clinical dimension that optimises the scalp environment in which those treatments work.
HydraFacial Keravive is a 3-step scalp peptide treatment clinically proven to reduce hair thinning and stimulate the hair’s natural ability to grow. Developed by HydraFacial, Keravive combines the patented Vortex extraction technology with a proprietary blend of six growth factors and skin proteins. Unlike injectable hair treatments, Keravive works entirely at the surface of the scalp: cleansing follicle-blocking buildup, nourishing the follicular environment and extending results with a 30-day take-home spray. At Cannelle in Oxford, Cannelle delivers Keravive using the authentic clinical system, as a Verified HydraFacial Provider.
Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. However, sebum, dead skin cells and environmental debris accumulate around follicles over time, disrupting the conditions needed for normal hair growth. Keravive addresses this at the source, creating the optimal scalp environment for follicle health and hair regeneration without the discomfort of needles or the downtime of more intensive treatments.
Keravive works through a 3-step clinical protocol. In the first step, HydraFacial’s Vortex technology gently cleanses and exfoliates the scalp, removing the follicle-blocking buildup that can impede healthy hair growth. In the second step, the Keravive Peptide Complex, a blend of six growth factors including HGF, KGF, VEGF, IGF-1, bFGF and EGF, is infused directly into the scalp to nourish follicles, improve microcirculation and signal the biological processes needed for stronger hair growth. The third step is the take-home Keravive Peptide Complex Spray, a 30-day daily maintenance treatment that continues to support scalp health between sessions.
A course of three monthly sessions is the recommended protocol for meaningful improvement in hair thinning and scalp health. Results build progressively as the follicular environment improves and the scalp microbiome restores its natural balance.
HydraFacial Keravive at Cannelle removes follicle-blocking scalp buildup, delivers six clinically active growth factors and includes a 30-day take-home spray to extend in-clinic results. Specifically, because the treatment works at the surface level using the HydraFacial Vortex system, it is comfortable, requires no anaesthetic and involves no downtime. Keravive is suitable for all hair types and scalp conditions and works well alongside injectable hair treatments such as PRP for a more comprehensive hair health programme.
Before any growth factors are delivered, the treatment first clears the scalp of the buildup that blocks follicles. Your practitioner moves the HydraFacial Vortex handpiece across the scalp using a comfortable and gentle motion to extract sebum, dead skin cells and environmental debris. As a result, this step creates a clean and receptive scalp surface, opening the follicular environment to receive the nourishing growth factors that follow. In fact, most patients find this step particularly satisfying, noticing an immediate sense of freshness and scalp clarity.
Next, the system infuses the Keravive Peptide Complex into the scalp using the same Vortex technology. The blend of six growth factors, including HGF, KGF and VEGF, signals to follicles to improve blood supply, strengthen the hair shaft and support the biological conditions needed for healthy hair growth. Additionally, the infusion hydrates the scalp microbiome and reduces the inflammation that can contribute to follicle miniaturisation and hair thinning. Specifically, the growth factor blend addresses both the structural and nutritional aspects of a compromised scalp environment.
After the in-clinic treatment, you receive the Keravive Peptide Complex Spray as a daily 30-day maintenance treatment. Overall, this take-home step is what distinguishes Keravive from most scalp treatments. By continuing to deliver growth factors to the scalp each day in the weeks following your clinic session, the spray prolongs and extends the biological improvements made during treatment. To use it, apply directly to the scalp once daily and leave to absorb without rinsing. No special preparation or timing is required.
Every Keravive treatment at Cannelle begins with a scalp assessment to understand your hair concerns, scalp condition and what you want to achieve. Keravive is a comfortable and straightforward treatment, but the outcome depends on choosing the right approach for your scalp, which is why the consultation comes first.
Before HydraFacial Keravive at Cannelle, you will attend a brief scalp assessment to confirm suitability and discuss your hair concerns. You need no special preparation. However, we advise washing your hair on the morning of treatment and arriving without styling products or dry shampoo on the scalp. Staying well hydrated in the days beforehand supports a healthy scalp environment and helps the treatment work effectively.
Keravive takes approximately 60 minutes from start to finish. Your practitioner moves the HydraFacial Vortex handpiece gently across the scalp to cleanse and exfoliate, then infuses the Keravive Peptide Complex. The treatment requires no anaesthetic and most patients find it comfortable throughout. In practice, many patients describe it as relaxing, similar to a scalp massage. After the in-clinic steps are complete, you receive your take-home spray and full usage instructions before you leave.
There is no downtime after Keravive. You can return to normal activities immediately. As a result of the scalp cleansing, some patients notice a temporary sensation of freshness or lightness in the first few hours. However, we advise avoiding washing your hair for 24 hours after treatment to allow the growth factors to absorb fully. Use the take-home Keravive Peptide Complex Spray daily for 30 days as instructed, applying it to the scalp and leaving it to absorb without rinsing.
Cannelle is a Verified HydraFacial Provider, which means the Keravive system used at our Oxford clinic is the authentic clinical version of the treatment, validated by HydraFacial. HydraFacial awards Verified Provider status to clinics that meet the training, equipment and quality standards set by the brand. Consequently, when you choose Cannelle for Keravive, you receive the treatment exactly as it was designed and clinically tested, not a generic alternative.
Rated 4.8 stars by over 330 patients on Google, Cannelle has built a reputation in Oxford for honest consultations and treatments that are genuinely worth having. Whether Keravive is the right starting point or whether combining it with PRP or other hair treatments makes more sense for your concerns, you will receive a straightforward recommendation you can trust.
During your consultation at Cannelle, your practitioner will assess your scalp condition, the nature of your hair concerns and your goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. Your practitioner guides the decision between a single session and a course based on the degree of scalp buildup, the extent of thinning and whether Keravive suits you alone or alongside treatments such as PRP.
A single Keravive session is suitable for patients new to scalp health treatment, those wanting to trial the treatment before committing to a course, or those maintaining results from a previous course. One session delivers a measurable improvement in scalp clarity and hydration, and includes the 30-day take-home spray to extend the in-clinic benefits.
The recommended protocol for meaningful improvement in hair thinning and scalp health. Three monthly sessions build on each other, progressively improving the scalp microbiome, follicle environment and the scalp’s response to the growth factor infusion. Most patients notice a visible improvement in hair thickness and scalp condition by the end of the course. Each session includes the 30-day take-home spray.
For patients experiencing active hair loss or meaningful hair thinning, combining Keravive with PRP hair treatment creates a more comprehensive programme. Keravive optimises the scalp surface and follicular environment, while PRP’s injectable growth factors stimulate follicle activity from a deeper biological level. In practice, many patients who combine both treatments report stronger results than either approach alone. In practice, your practitioner at Cannelle will advise whether a combined programme is appropriate at your consultation.
We offer Keravive as a single session or as a recommended course of three monthly sessions. Each session includes the Keravive take-home Peptide Complex Spray at no additional cost.

HydraFacial Keravive is a powerful treatment for scalp health, but for patients experiencing more significant hair thinning or loss, PRP hair treatment offers a complementary approach that works at a deeper biological level. By injecting concentrated growth factors directly into the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant follicles from within and improves hair density in a way that surface treatments alone cannot achieve.
Many patients at Cannelle benefit from combining Keravive’s scalp optimisation with PRP’s follicle stimulation as part of a comprehensive hair restoration programme. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination for your concerns at consultation.
Keravive addresses scalp health and hair thinning through a very different mechanism from injectable treatments, so the questions patients ask most often are about whether it will work for their specific concerns, how it compares to other scalp treatments and what results to realistically expect from a course.
HydraFacial Keravive is a 3-step scalp peptide treatment clinically proven to reduce hair thinning and stimulate the hair’s natural ability to grow. In the first step, HydraFacial’s Vortex technology cleanses and exfoliates the scalp to remove follicle-blocking buildup. Additionally, in the second step, a proprietary blend of six growth factors including HGF, KGF and VEGF is infused directly into the scalp to nourish follicles and support healthy hair growth conditions. Additionally, each session includes a 30-day take-home Keravive Peptide Complex Spray to extend the in-clinic results between monthly sessions.
Keravive addresses the scalp conditions that most commonly contribute to poor hair health: follicle-blocking buildup from sebum and dead skin cells, scalp congestion and oiliness, flakiness and irritation, and the compromised follicular environment associated with hair thinning. As a result, it is well suited to patients experiencing reduced hair volume, limp or dry hair, or thinning related to a poor scalp condition. Furthermore, it provides strong support to patients using other hair treatments such as PRP, by optimising the scalp environment in which those treatments work.
Scalp clarity and hydration typically improve within the first few days following a session, as the follicle buildup has been cleared and the growth factors have begun to absorb. However, However, meaningful improvement in hair thickness and thinning takes longer, as the hair growth cycle responds gradually to improved follicular conditions. In most cases, patients notice visible improvement in hair volume and texture by the second or third session, with the full benefit of the course apparent at three to six months.
A course of three monthly sessions is the recommended protocol for meaningful improvement in hair thinning and scalp health. Each session builds on the last, progressively improving the follicular environment and extending the time the scalp benefits from the growth factor infusion. Furthermore, each session includes the 30-day take-home spray, which continues to deliver peptides to the scalp between visits. We recommend maintenance sessions every three to six months to sustain results after the initial course.
Yes. HydraFacial Keravive is suitable for all hair types, scalp conditions and skin tones. Specifically, because the treatment works at the surface of the scalp rather than through injection, there is no risk of uneven distribution based on hair texture or skin tone. In practice, patients with oily or congested scalps often respond particularly well in the early sessions, as the Vortex exfoliation step provides a significant immediate improvement. Indeed, patients with drier or more sensitive scalps also benefit, as the growth factor infusion and take-home spray support scalp hydration and microbiome health over time.
Keravive addresses the scalp environment that supports hair health rather than directly targeting the hormonal mechanism of androgenetic alopecia. However, many men with early to moderate male pattern hair loss find it effective for reducing thinning and improving hair volume, particularly when used alongside PRP hair treatment. Specifically, by removing the follicle-blocking buildup associated with scalp congestion and inflammation, Keravive improves the environment in which weakened follicles are operating. However, a consultation at Cannelle will confirm whether Keravive alone or a combined approach with PRP is most appropriate for your degree of hair loss.
Yes, and female patients are among those who respond most consistently to Keravive. Female hair thinning often presents as diffuse volume loss across the scalp, driven by a combination of hormonal change, nutritional factors, stress and poor scalp health. As a result, the Keravive approach of clearing follicle buildup and delivering growth factors across the full scalp surface is particularly well matched to the pattern of female hair thinning. Overall, over a course of three sessions, most female patients notice a meaningful improvement in hair thickness, volume and scalp comfort.
Absolutely. In practice, the Vortex exfoliation step in Keravive is specifically designed to remove the follicle-blocking buildup that causes scalp flakiness, congestion and oiliness. In practice, the improvement in scalp clarity after the first session is one of the most immediately noticeable results of the treatment. Furthermore, the growth factor infusion that follows helps to restore the scalp’s natural microbiome balance, reducing the sebum overproduction and inflammatory responses that contribute to chronic scalp congestion. For patients whose hair thinning is linked to a consistently congested or flaky scalp, Keravive is often a highly effective first-line treatment.
Post-partum hair loss is caused by the shift in the hair growth cycle following childbirth, resulting in a period of increased shedding that typically resolves naturally over several months. Keravive can support and accelerate recovery by optimising the scalp environment during the regrowth phase. Specifically, the growth factor infusion helps stimulate follicle activity and improve scalp health at a time when the follicle environment may be compromised by hormonal change and nutritional depletion. In practice, it is a comfortable and non-injectable option that is well suited to patients looking for a gentle but evidence-based approach to post-partum hair support.
The Keravive take-home Peptide Complex Spray is a 30-day daily scalp treatment included with each Keravive session at Cannelle. Overall, it is what distinguishes Keravive from most in-clinic scalp treatments: the spray continues to deliver growth factors to the scalp every day in the weeks between clinic visits, extending the biological improvements made during the in-clinic session. To use it, apply the spray directly to the scalp once daily, parting the hair as needed to ensure full coverage. Leave it to absorb without rinsing. In fact, no special preparation or timing is required.
Yes. Keravive and minoxidil address hair health through different mechanisms and are compatible. Minoxidil prolongs the anagen growth phase and works most effectively when applied to a clean and healthy scalp. Consequently, the scalp cleansing and follicle environment improvements that Keravive provides can enhance the effectiveness of daily minoxidil application by removing the buildup that limits how well it absorbs. In practice, many patients at Cannelle use Keravive as a supportive treatment alongside their existing minoxidil regimen without any interaction or issue.
Choosing the right scalp and hair treatment in Oxford means understanding how Keravive differs from other options and whether it is the right starting point or part of a wider programme. This section covers how Keravive compares to PRP and other scalp treatments, what the treatment costs and what makes Cannelle the right clinic to deliver it.
Keravive and PRP address hair health at different levels and are highly complementary rather than competing treatments. Specifically, Keravive works at the surface of the scalp, removing follicle-blocking buildup and delivering growth factors topically to improve the scalp environment. PRP works from within, using injected concentrated growth factors to directly stimulate dormant follicles and improve scalp microcirculation at a biological level. In most cases, Keravive is an excellent starting point for patients with mild to moderate concerns. However, for patients with more pronounced thinning or hair loss, combining both treatments produces a more comprehensive result than either approach alone.
Yes, and many patients at Cannelle benefit from combining both treatments as part of a structured hair restoration programme. In practice, the two treatments work well together because they operate at different levels: Keravive optimises the scalp surface and follicular environment, while PRP’s injectable growth factors stimulate follicles from a deeper biological level. Furthermore, a well-cleansed and well-nourished scalp may respond more strongly to injectable treatments, meaning Keravive may enhance the outcome of PRP sessions. Indeed, your practitioner at Cannelle will advise on the most appropriate combination and timing at your consultation.
Keravive is one of the most comfortable scalp treatments available. The Vortex handpiece creates a gentle suction and exfoliation sensation that most patients find relaxing rather than uncomfortable. You need no anaesthetic at any point. There is no injection, no heat and no discomfort during or after the treatment. In practice, the 60-minute session is often described as a calming experience. Any mild sensation of freshness or tightness after the exfoliation step settles quickly once the growth factor infusion has been applied.
HydraFacial Keravive is one of the safest scalp treatments available. It is non-injectable, requires no anaesthetic and involves no downtime. The growth factor blend has been formulated specifically for scalp use and is suitable for all scalp types and skin tones. In fact, there is no risk of allergic reaction from the treatment itself, as no synthetic allergens are introduced. As Cannelle is a Verified HydraFacial Provider, the system meets the quality and safety standards set by the brand. A brief scalp assessment before treatment confirms that Keravive is the right approach for your specific concerns.
At Cannelle in Oxford, HydraFacial Keravive is priced at £225 per session, with a course of three sessions available at £595. Each session includes the 30-day take-home Keravive Peptide Complex Spray at no additional cost. Overall, pricing reflects the quality of the clinical system, the expertise of the Cannelle team and the time given to each patient from assessment through to aftercare and take-home guidance.
For patients wanting a comfortable and non-injectable treatment that genuinely improves scalp health and supports hair growth, Keravive represents strong value. Furthermore, the inclusion of the 30-day take-home spray in each session extends the in-clinic benefits considerably, meaning the treatment continues to work for a month after each visit. Additionally, for patients already using daily scalp treatments such as minoxidil, Keravive provides a clinical dimension that topical products alone cannot replicate. Overall, a course of three sessions delivered by a Verified HydraFacial Provider at Cannelle offers a reliable approach to scalp health at a transparent price.
A HydraFacial Verified Provider is a clinic awarded Verified Provider status by HydraFacial, confirming that the clinic uses the authentic clinical HydraFacial system, that practitioners have completed the required training and that the clinic meets the quality and safety standards set by the brand. Specifically, Verified Provider status means you receive the treatment as it was designed and clinically tested, not a generic imitation. Indeed, Cannelle holds Verified HydraFacial Provider status, which covers both facial HydraFacial treatments and the Keravive scalp system.
Scalp microneedling and Keravive both aim to improve scalp health and support hair growth, but they work differently and suit different patients. Scalp microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate a natural healing response and improve absorption of applied treatments. Keravive uses Vortex technology to remove follicle buildup and deliver growth factors directly to the scalp surface without any injury, discomfort or downtime. In practice, Keravive is better suited to patients who want a comfortable and non-invasive approach. In practice, the two treatments can be used as part of a combined programme at Cannelle, based on your specific hair concerns.
The scalp environment improvements from a full course of three Keravive sessions, supported by the 30-day take-home spray after each visit, typically maintain for three to six months before a maintenance session is recommended. In most cases, improvements in hair thickness and volume remain visible throughout this period and continue to develop as the hair growth cycle responds to improved follicular conditions. Consequently, patients who combine Keravive with PRP hair treatment often report longer-lasting improvements, as the two treatments support each other in sustaining a healthy scalp environment.
Cannelle is a Verified HydraFacial Provider in Oxford, which means the Keravive system used is the authentic clinical version of the treatment, not a generic alternative. Additionally, Keravive at Cannelle is supported by a team with clinical expertise in hair health and scalp treatments, meaning your assessment and treatment plan are informed by a genuine understanding of hair loss and scalp conditions. Furthermore, for patients who need more than scalp surface treatment, Cannelle’s full range of hair health options including PRP, polynucleotides and exosomes means a complete hair restoration programme can be planned and delivered in one clinic.
