Scalp Treatment in Burnaby HydraPeel Scalp

HydraPeel Scalp is a scalp care treatment at Skin Art MD in Burnaby.

A session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, starting with a scalp assessment.

No. It is aimed at scalp cleanliness and comfort, such as oiliness, flaking and buildup, and it does not regrow hair.

Hair loss that is sudden or patchy should be checked by a physician.

Most people feel gentle suction and a cool sensation, and many find it relaxing. The temples and hairline are treated with lower suction. If anything feels uncomfortable, the pressure and serum can be adjusted during the session. Tell the team beforehand if your scalp is sensitive or recently irritated.

Follow the washing guidance given at your visit. It is usually fine to wash later the same day with a gentle shampoo, avoiding very hot water. Skip heavy styling products for the rest of the day and avoid scratching or scrubbing the scalp. Contact the clinic if irritation develops.

Yes. It is often booked together with a facial such as HydraPeel for the face, in the same visit. Allow extra time when booking. If you are also having other treatments, such as PRP for hair, the physician will advise on timing between them.
