Frequently Asked Questions for DeRive Hair Restoration

DeRive is a clinically backed, plant-based hair restoration system designed to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. It combines an at-home serum with in-office treatments like microneedling and PRP injections to promote cellular regeneration.

The therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss, particularly those seeking a non-hormonal, regenerative approach. A consultation will determine if DeRive is right for you based on your scalp condition, medical history, and goals.

The standard 6-month program features:

• At-Home Care: 

30 days of AM & PM application of a specially formulated DeRive serum containing plant-based exosomes and peptides.

• In-Office Procedures:

• 4 microneedling sessions to enhance serum absorption and stimulate the scalp.

• 2 PRP injections to utilize your body’s natural growth factors for additional follicle stimulation.• Enhanced collagen and elastin production.

• Consistent, predictable results.

• Faster healing and reduced inflammation.

The full protocol spans 6 months. Initial improvements in scalp health may be noticeable within a few weeks, with more significant hair growth and density improvements typically observed over several months as the treatments work synergistically.

DeRive is designed to be gentle and hormone-free, which minimizes side effects. Some patients might experience mild redness or irritation after in-office procedures, but these effects are generally temporary. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as needed.

Unlike minoxidil, which primarily increases blood flow to the scalp, DeRive targets hair loss at the cellular level by promoting follicle repair and regeneration. Its multi-faceted approach—including plant-based exosomes, peptides, microneedling, and PRP—addresses both immediate scalp health and long-term hair growth.

Individual responses to treatment can vary. If you feel that the results are not meeting your expectations, a follow-up consultation is recommended. We will assess progress, make protocol adjustments, or discuss additional maintenance options to optimize outcomes.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Topical anesthetics and cooling techniques are used during in-office procedures like microneedling and PRP injections to enhance comfort. Any slight discomfort is typically brief and well-tolerated.

Yes. Following the intensive 6-month protocol, your provider will recommend a maintenance regimen that could include continued at-home serum use or periodic booster sessions to sustain the results over time.

Hair loss is often an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. Many factors—including genetics, hormonal changes, and environmental influences—can contribute to gradual thinning over time. Because of this, we typically recommend continuing the DeRive serum indefinitely as part of your maintenance routine. This helps ensure that your scalp remains nourished and that you sustain the benefits achieved during the initial 6-month program.

Yes, you can wear a hat. However, it’s best to avoid tight or restrictive headwear immediately after in-office treatments (such as microneedling or PRP injections) to prevent irritation and allow the scalp to breathe.

Hair extensions are not a contraindication for DeRive therapy. However, they may affect scalp accessibility and serum penetration during treatments. We can adjust the treatment protocol or advise on temporary modifications (such as careful removal or repositioning) to ensure you receive the full benefits of the therapy.

Begin by scheduling a consultation. During the consultation, you’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation to determine if DeRive is right for you, and we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
