It comes in two forms. One is the serum we apply in the office with the ULTRA+ device. The other is the daily serum you take home, along with a matching shampoo and leave-in conditioner.
What does it do? The maker describes DE|RIVE as nourishing and hydrating the scalp and hair follicles and supporting the appearance of fuller, healthier hair over time. Individual results vary.
DE|RIVE was named Best in Industry: Nonsurgical Innovation at The Aesthetic Awards in 2024 and again in 2025.
How the ULTRA+ device fits in
ULTRA+ is a handheld ultrasound device made by the same company as DE|RIVE. At each in-office visit, we apply DE|RIVE serum to the scalp, then move the ULTRA+ ultrasound tip over it, section by section, while the scalp is still wet with serum. The device's maker describes its sound-wave vibrations as helping the serum absorb.

The treatment takes about 20 minutes. There are no needles. The maker says most people feel gentle warming or tingling and experience no downtime. Individual results vary.
The four in-office treatments are one half. The daily routine at home is the other, and it carries the care between visits.
Your routine at home
Between visits, the care happens at home, and it's simple. The DE|RIVE daily serum goes on the scalp in the morning and at night. Each bottle is a 30-day supply. Massage it in for a minute or two and wait about 15 minutes before styling. It won't leave the hair feeling greasy, so it can go on after a shower.

You'll also have the DE|RIVE shampoo and leave-in conditioner. The maker describes the shampoo as made to gently cleanse and calm the scalp, and the leave-in conditioner as light hydration for the lengths and ends. All three are plant-based and made for daily use.
The maker recommends daily application because appearance changes may develop over time. Individual results vary. Keep the bottle where you will see it.
