Keravive scalp treatment for men in Laval

You have been washing your hair for thirty years. Your scalp, never. An hour of deep cleaning, and a spray for what comes after.

TYPE OF CARE

Esthetician's treatment. No injection, no medical procedure.

What is Keravive

The principle of a facial, moved to the scalp: clear it out, feed it, then keep it up at home.

A vortex tip loosens and draws off what is clogging the skin and the mouths of the follicles, through gentle suction and exfoliation. A hydrating solution then goes onto the cleared area, and a spray is handed to you for daily upkeep.

What concerns a man of thirty-five in particular, and there are three things. A man's scalp produces more sebum, like the rest of his skin. Headwear keeps it smothered for hours a day: a cap, a toque, a hard hat, a bike helmet. And the shorter the hair, the more exposed the scalp, to the sun as much as to the eye.

One thing to know immediately: this treatment does not make hair grow back. It works the skin the hair grows out of. That is useful, it is comfortable, it is not a treatment for hair loss.

Is Keravive right for you?

The treatment works the skin of the head, not the hair coming out of it.

It is for you if:

  • Your hair is greasy by the next day

    A clogged scalp produces and holds more, and daily washing keeps the cycle going. It is the number one reason men book.

  • You wear something on your head all day

    A cap, a toque, a hard hat, a bike helmet. Heat, sweat and friction against skin that cannot breathe: that combination clogs.

  • It itches and you cannot say why

    Shampoo, gel, styling wax, spray. Residue builds up at the roots, and the next shampoo adds to it.

  • Your scalp has become visible

    Very short hair, a shaved head, thinning hair. The skin shows, it deserves to be in good condition, and it takes sun every day.

This treatment does not make hair grow back

If your hair is thinning and that worries you, your first appointment should be with a physician. We will tell you that rather than let you hope for something else.

Contraindications

AN OPEN LESION ON THE SCALP

A wound, a scratch, a scab: the area is worked around or the session is rescheduled. The suction works in contact.

PSORIASIS OR ECZEMA IN A FLARE

The skin is already irritated and exfoliation makes it worse. Name it when you book; the session waits for calm.

A SCALP INFECTION

Widespread folliculitis, a fungal infection: a physician goes first.

SUNBURN ON THE SCALP

Common in men with short hair, and underestimated. Wait until the skin has recovered.

A RECENT HAIR TRANSPLANT

The timing belongs to the surgeon who performed it. Ask him before booking.

A facial for men

A treatment adjusted to your scalp

Two men do not get the same session, and three things explain why.

WHAT IS CLOGGING IT
Sebum, sweat and styling residue do not come away the same way. The esthetician looks before choosing.
HOW LONG YOUR HAIR IS
On short hair or a shaved head, the tip reaches everywhere and the session is more direct. On a full head of hair, the work goes parting by parting and takes longer.
HOW SENSITIVE THE SKIN IS
The suction intensity is adjustable. A scalp that feels tight needs a gentler setting than one that is simply oily.

    Examining the scalp

    What is clogging it, where, and since when. The esthetician also rules out anything that belongs to a physician.

  • A handpiece passed along a man's scalp

    The deep clean

    The vortex tip goes section by section. It is the long part, and the one you feel most.

  • A solution applied along the parting on a man's scalp

    3

    The hydrating solution

    It goes onto skin that is now clear, which is the whole point of doing things in that order.

Common questions

Everything people ask us before a first session, answered plainly.

Does it make hair grow back?

No, and that answer carries no nuance. The treatment acts on the skin of the head: it clears, it cleans, it hydrates. A follicle that has stopped producing does not restart because the area around it was cleaned, and nobody should let you believe otherwise. What the treatment genuinely changes is scalp comfort, how fast your hair goes greasy, and the general look of your hair, which appears fuller simply because it is no longer weighed down. If hair loss is your concern, the page that covers it starts by sending you to a physician.

My head is shaved. Does this make sense?

Yes, and it is in fact a good indication. A scalp with no hair is still skin: it produces sebum, it accumulates dead cells, it takes sun vertically every day, and it is in permanent contact with headwear. With no hair the tip reaches everywhere and the session is faster and more direct. Plenty of men who shave their heads discover this treatment as the equivalent of a facial for an area they had never treated.

My hair is greasy within a day. Can this help?

It is probably the best indication for this treatment. The cycle is simple: a clogged scalp holds more sebum, you wash more often, frequent washing stimulates production, and the skin keeps more of it. Deep cleaning breaks the cycle, and plenty of men find afterward that they can stretch a day between shampoos. It is not permanent; it holds with the spray handed to you at the end.

Is the cap to blame?

Partly, and not in the way people think. A cap does not cause hair loss, that is a myth. But it holds heat, sweat and friction against skin that cannot breathe, often for eight hours, and that encourages clogged follicles and itching. A hard hat and a bike helmet do the same thing more intensely. The answer is not to stop wearing them, it is to wash the inside and to clear out what builds up underneath.

Does it hurt?

No. The tip draws, it pierces nothing and it does not scrape. The sensation is firm suction moving across the head, and most people find it genuinely pleasant, closer to a massage than to a treatment. The intensity adjusts if you find it too strong. What surprises men here is not pain, it is seeing what the clear tube draws off.

Does it show afterward?

Nothing visible, apart from a slightly pink scalp for a few hours and markedly lighter hair. The one instruction is not to wash it for the rest of the day, so the hydrating solution can work. You can go straight back to work, and plenty of men book this over lunch.

How often?

There is no rule and nothing is sold as a series. For a heavily clogged scalp, the first session does the bulk of the work and a second a few weeks later finishes what was left. After that, maintenance mostly happens with the spray handed to you at the end, and a session every few months is plenty. If you wear a helmet daily or sweat a great deal, it comes back faster, and the esthetician will say so plainly.
