If you’re noticing extra hair on the brush a few months after giving birth, you’re not alone. Postpartum hair shedding is very common—and very normal. At Corinne Aesthetics in Thousand Oaks, we help new moms, college students, and busy women across Ventura County care for their scalps and restore confidence with HydraFacial Keravive. This gentle, science-backed treatment creates a healthier environment for fuller-looking hair.
Why Does Postpartum Hair Shedding Happen?
During pregnancy, higher estrogen levels keep more hair in its growth phase. After delivery, hormones shift and many hairs enter a resting (shedding) phase at once. This temporary condition—often called postpartum telogen effluvium—typically peaks around three to four months after birth and improves within six to twelve months for most women. If you’re concerned about the amount of shedding or notice patchy hair loss, it’s always wise to check in with your healthcare provider.

Meet HydraFacial Keravive: A Science-Backed Scalp Treatment
HydraFacial Keravive is a non-invasive, in-office treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the scalp—helping your hair look thicker and feel healthier. Think of it as a “facial for your scalp,” designed to remove buildup and deliver a proprietary blend of growth factors and peptides for an optimal scalp environment.
- Deep cleanse: Vacuum-assisted exfoliation lifts away oil, sweat, and product buildup that can clog follicles.
- Boost circulation: Gentle stimulation supports a healthier scalp environment.
- Nourish and hydrate: A targeted peptide and growth factor complex is infused to condition the scalp.
- At-home support: You’ll receive a 30-day take-home spray to extend results between sessions.
The experience is comfortable, quick, and requires no downtime. Many clients leave feeling refreshed, with a cleaner, more balanced scalp and hair that looks lifted at the root.

Is Keravive Right for New Moms in Thousand Oaks?
Keravive can be a great option if you’re experiencing:
- Postpartum hair shedding or thinning at the temples or part line
- Visible scalp due to excess shedding
- Dry, itchy, or flaky scalp
- Product buildup from dry shampoo or styling products
- Scalp congestion related to tight hairstyles or extensions
Because Keravive is topical and non-invasive, many new moms appreciate that it fits into a busy schedule and doesn’t require downtime. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, always consult your OB/GYN before starting any new treatment or product.
What to Expect at Corinne Aesthetics
Your First Visit
Every Keravive journey starts with a thoughtful consultation. We’ll discuss your hair history, lifestyle, and goals, then assess your scalp to personalize your treatment plan. Our Thousand Oaks team is known for a warm, educational approach—you’ll understand exactly what we’re doing and why at every step.
The Keravive Treatment
- Cleanse + exfoliate: We remove oil and buildup to help clear follicles and balance the scalp.
- Stimulate: Gentle suction and targeted passes support a healthier scalp environment.
- Infuse: A peptide and growth factor complex nourishes the scalp for fuller-looking hair.
- At-home care: Use the Keravive spray daily for 30 days to extend and enhance results.
The appointment typically takes about 90-120 minutes. Most clients describe it as soothing and refreshing—like a deep clean for your scalp.
Your Plan and Timeline
Many clients choose a series of three monthly Keravive sessions, followed by maintenance sessions every 1 to 3 months. While some people notice lighter, more lifted hair after the first visit, improvements in scalp balance and fuller-looking hair often build over the next few months. Results vary by individual and routine.

FAQs: Postpartum Hair Shedding and Keravive
How long does postpartum shedding last?
Most people notice shedding peak around months three to four after delivery, with gradual improvement over six to twelve months. If you have persistent or patchy loss, check with your healthcare provider.
When will I see results with Keravive?
Some clients feel a cleaner scalp and more lift after one session. Fuller-looking hair and improved scalp balance typically evolve over one to three months, especially when you complete the recommended series and use the at-home spray consistently.
Is Keravive safe while breastfeeding?
Keravive is non-invasive and topical, but every situation is unique. Please consult your OB/GYN before beginning any new treatment or product while pregnant or nursing.
Will Keravive regrow hair?
Keravive is designed to improve scalp health and support the appearance of thicker, fuller-looking hair. It is not a medical treatment for hair loss. If you have ongoing or severe shedding, a medical evaluation can help rule out nutritional or thyroid-related causes.
Is there downtime?
No. You can resume normal activities right away. We may advise waiting until the next day to wash your hair so the peptide complex can work optimally.
