A scalp HydraFacial is a deep cleansing + hydrating treatment for the scalp that helps remove buildup, excess oil, dead skin, and impurities while nourishing the scalp and hair follicles. Itโs great for dry scalp, oily scalp, dandruff, itchiness, thinning hair, or anyone wanting healthier hair growth.
Step-by-Step Process
1. Scalp Analysis
The provider examines the scalp to check for:

* Congestion around hair follicles
2. Deep Cleansing & Exfoliation
A special HydraFacial scalp tip + solution is used to:

* Clean out clogged follicles
This step feels like a gentle vacuum/massage on the scalp.
3. Suction Extraction
The device suctions out:
* Excess oil
* Debris
* Buildup trapped in follicles
This is where a lot of the โgunkโ gets removed.

* Support healthier hair growth
5. Scalp Massage (optional at some medspas)
A relaxing massage may be done to:
